Hello and welcome to episode 191 of Avtoc. I am Ian Patchnick here as always with Jason Rebecca and how are you in happy Thanksgiving

happy Thanksgiving to you Jason I'm doing well I'm doing well I've heard tell that you're a little under the weather, so I hope you're on the upswing.

Yeah, I don't sound quite as bad as you did the last couple weeks, but I don't feel so great, but we going to power through this episode at the special episode.

This is a special episode because this is the first episode that we have real players playing

our Avtoc trivia game.

Kira and Gannin will be on the show later to play the game.

And I hope everyone enjoys it and we'll keep doing it.

Thanks to everyone who has reached out and said, yeah, I want to play the game. There's been quite a bit of you. So we're going to figure out the best way to make sure everybody can play because I want this to be a fun thing for everybody.

So we'll start off with this week a bit later in the show.

As Jason mentioned, it is Thanksgiving week.

We're recording on Wednesday the 23rd of November.

The podcast will come out on Friday the 25th,

so we'll just skip over Thanksgiving and say that everyone had a great one.

But I will also say that everything knock on wood seems to be going okay in the National Air Space System so far.

Yeah, at least here, you know, where it's relevant right now in the U.S. because it's only a holiday week here I assume right it could not be better there is no significant weather anywhere in the country that I haven't even seen a blip of air traffic control delays or anything everything is running as it should so good job everyone take a break at some point it's well deserved not Not probably going to be the same story later this week because

Sunday, which is actually the busiest travel day, I believe when everyone tries to go home at the same

time, whether or not looking so great for that particular day, so we might have used all our luck today, but we'll take it where we can get it.

Yeah, it's been a beautiful week after, the weather's been mostly quiet everywhere except for Buffalo which got I think 19,000 feet of snow

But not at the airport but not at the airport I saw some some people were plane spotting at the airport

And I was like oh that doesn't seem like that much.

No, that's the beauty of lake effect snow, two miles to the south.

They've got infinite number of snow, but up at the airport, Delta never stopped flying.
