  • Took a bad turn…

    This used to be a great podcast covering aviation news from all over the world. Unfortunately since Joanna Bailey left the podcast, it shifted its focus and became very much focused on US aviation, maybe mentioning one story from elsewhere every two or three weeks. As a European, I’m not keen on hearing only about Southwest, Spirit and Frontier. Please bring back stories from Europe, Africa, Asia, Australia and South America, maybe then I‘ll listen again.
