Boarding Pass 066: TWA... One Mission, Yours - a podcast by Doug and Drew

from 2021-03-01T00:00

:: ::

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.
