Hello and welcome to episode 187 of Avtoc. I am Ian Petchnick here, as always with...

Jason Urbanovino, hello, Ian, how's it going?

0:16.4

It's going, all right, Jason, how are you, sir?

0:18.4

I'm good. My recording venue is a lot less inspiring this week unfortunately.

0:23.0

Oh, well, just strap some wings on the cat and you'll be all set.

0:26.4

She might not like that, but we won't know for sure until I try.

images, like the front bottom of the aircraft is kind of gone. It doesn't, it's not there anymore. I don't know where it is, but it's not attached to the aircraft, where the nose gear would be. But typically in this kind of accident, somebody gets injured during the evacuation.

1:55.0

A lot of accidents like this, maybe nobody is injured during the actual accident, but somebody sprains an ankle, breaks a leg during the evacuation, but in this case, no injuries whatsoever.
