On this episode of Avtock, we discussed the aviation incidents that have occurred in the past two weeks and delve into the fortunes of major carriers in the Middle East. And we're joined again by Jeremy Dwyer Lindgren to discuss vintage aviation

advertising and strapping rockets to a convey? Hello and welcome to episode 32 of Avtoc.

I am Ian Petchenic here back in the United States with...

Jason Bribinowitz.

Hello, I'm back in New York.

I'm back home.

You had to think about that one for a second.

Yeah, it's been quite a number of hops along the way

since we last spoke, but I'm home. And you actually made it back from France and then you were home for what four and a half five minutes? And then you were off maybe ten and then you were off to Seattle.

Yeah, I flew Leon to Dublin to JFK to JFK on Erlingus,

took the subway back combed my apartment was here for about 12 hours and went

straight back to JFK and flew JetBlue Mint out to Seattle for a special event that I guess we'll talk about in a little bit.

Well, we'll talk about, yeah, we'll definitely talk about that one in a little bit towards

the end of the show.

But I did want to mention the fact that you made it without succumbing to any air traffic control strikes that we talked about in the last episode and we're recording on the 22nd of May in the midst of a French national strike.

Of course you made it out just in time.

So all my flights miraculously were like perfectly on time, no issues with any of them.

The only issue I had along the way was there was a train strike in France because of course

there was, so I had to take a bus over the Alps, which was not great instead of a train, but in the grand scheme of things, flying through France in the summer

and that's the worst that happened, fine, I'll take it.

You did okay for yourself. Yeah, not too shabby.

Yeah. So, let's, a lot has happened in the past two weeks and a lot of it not very good at all.
