  • Packed with interesting facts

    All episodes have been interesting to me but this one seemed more filled than ever with fascinating facts about turbulence and all the bad aviation luck in Japan that year.

    Highly recommend this podcast to those who are curious about aviation, weather, and a peek behind the curtain of piloting.

  • Mt Fuji - Boeing 707 breakup - excellent!

    Dave - I really enjoyed this episode. Insightful and very informative, particularly about the different kinds of turbulence. Mountain Wave Turbulence and Lenticular clouds were total new concepts.

    Keep up the great work and hope you are well!
