| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to episode 228 of Avtoc. I am Ian Petchenik here as always with Jason Rabinowitz. Happy Wednesday, |
| 0:19.6 | Ian. Happy Wednesday, Jason. How are you, sir? I'm good. I have to think about what day of the week it was, because we almost recorded on Tuesday again. |
| 0:27.0 | Yeah, we've been switching it up the past couple weeks, but we're on the Wednesday schedule today, and then a programming note, we will not be on the Wednesday schedule today and then a programming note we will not be on the |
| 0:34.7 | Wednesday schedule next week because I will be on vacation. I didn't know we |
| 0:39.8 | allow that anymore. I mean it's short and it's fast not very far away but I'm |
| 0:46.2 | taking what I can get so we will not have a new show next week but we'll have a |
| 0:51.9 | little recap of how things have gone so far this year. |
| 0:55.0 | Like we do, I think we did the same thing last August. |
| 0:58.0 | So it's the week off, and so if you're going on vacation listening to the podcast, |

| 1:41.0 | And in the past few days they closed the airspace because of the |
| 1:47.1 | threat of the use of military force to undo the coup by eco-woss countries which are a collective of African states that are bringing |
| 1:58.8 | military might to bear possibly to reverse the effects of the coup. |
| 2:04.0 | So in anticipation of any military use of force in Niger, |
| 2:08.0 | the coup-led government has closed all of niches airspace. |
| 2:13.2 | Well, I guess that's good. |
| 2:15.2 | That's what you, well, not what is going on is good, it's certainly not, |
| 2:19.2 | but closing of airspace before any potential action occurs is what you want to see. |
| 2:26.7 | A prudent step for sure. |
