Hello and welcome to episode 229 of Avtoc. I am Ian Petchnick here as always with...

Jason Rubito, it's an Ian, I thought you're supposed to be on vacation.

I am on vacation. This is the miracle of recorded sound allows us to sort of make liars of ourselves.

We were supposed to be off this week, but as is the universe's cruel bend, big news came out pretty much

right after we hit stop on the last recording.

None of it bad news.

No, not bad news.

Just big news.

We have to clarify usually when we put out a special podcast, it's because something horrible has happened.

But in this case, it's just things. It's just things. Big enough to spend a few minutes at the end of the current week. So episode 228 is out. Hopefully you're listening to it or listened to it.

And then we're going to record this one today

to talk about some of the things that happen this week.

Nothing too, you know, time sensitive here,

but just some interesting stuff that we thought was worth

mentioning and then we'll really be on vacation I promise. All right all right let's

get in to it So Air India has a brand new look.

They got a brand new everything.

Coming up, they'll have hundreds of new aircraft, and now we know they will have a brand new brand identity including

livery and completely new in-flight products which is very interesting and there's even a little controversy over

some of the registration numbers they picked for their mocked up aircraft which I think is kind of funny

but we'll get to that.

Yeah so let's talk about you want to start from the inside out or go from the outside in?
