Description
Doug and Drew visit the TWA Hotel at JFK as part of a whirlwind avgeek coast to coast trip. COVID19 was definitely dampening the experience along with rain but we still enjoyed the mid-century modern architecture of Eero Saarinen. The rooftop pool was open and we had burgers and drinks with a Lockheed Connie as our backdrop. An avgeek mecca for sure.
We also talk about:
- We close out Black History Month remembering aviatrix Bessie Colemean
- PW4000 Boeing 777 update and inaccurate media coverage. #HeavyMayday
- Airline traffic fell last year to its lowest level since 1984
- Mexico City's new airport may not be completed. Will it cost more to cancel the project
- Singapore Airlines continues upgrading the A380 as other airlines retire them
We end the show with Doug talking about pilot air-to-ground communication from takeoff to landing using our flight from Miami to JFK as the example.
