Summary

On this week’s episode of AvTalk, Jason is traveling in Japan and Ian is prepping his Thanksgiving Turkey. But that doesn’t mean there isn’t plenty to discuss.

And Emirates took delivery of its first A350, but the flight path left many scratching their heads.

Hello and welcome to episode 296 of AvTalk.

0:12.7

I am E.M. Petchnik, miraculously here, as always, with...

0:17.1

Jason Urbanowitz and what am I, like, 14, 15 hours ahead of you now?

0:21.6

You are 15 hours ahead of me. Yes. Wow. Congratulations. That might be a record. You've made it to the future. Yes. I'll tell you all about it and you can invest in some stocks and bet on some sports. I'm pretty sure that's how it works. Do you have the almanac? Not yet. Maybe I'll go shopping for that tomorrow.

0:38.3

See if you can find it, yeah.

0:40.3

How are your Asian travels, Jason?

400 patches on it. It looked pretty good. The paint was still attached and it wasn't just a

1:38.6

speed tape wing. Or it has been reattached probably several times at this point. It was a nice ride. Excellent. Well,

1:45.9

I'm glad things are going well. I'm back in Chicago, 15 hours behind you. I was in Norfolk,

1:51.9

Virginia last week where I attempted to fly on GE Aerospace 747. That didn't work. thanks weather. So as it turns out, when you're
