Alright kids, stand between your parents and smile for the photo.
DLD 576: What’s the limit?
How much is too much change? How much is too much risk? How much is too many flights? We'll likely never know, but many seem to be trying to find out right now.
If anyone is friends with any Georgian air traffic controllers, buy them a nice bottle of wine. As guardians of pretty much the only narrow gap still available between Europe and Asia that avoids both Iran, the Gulf, Ukraine and Russia, they are under some substantial pressure.
DLD 575: On Again, Off Again
Are the policy changes real? Can anyone or anything be trusted anymore? And a 20+ year throwback reference at the end, just for fun.
Picture of a Boeing 777-300ER in Chicago O’hare. It is in ANA’s Star Wars BB8 livery. The livery was removed almost 4 years ago in March 2022
I’m an #avgeek and I have 777 followers, so I’m gonna post my favorite pic I’ve taken of a 777!
The only thing better than #AvGeek adventures in the Caribbean is #AvGeek adventures in the Caribbean with friends.
I want to go back…
Give it a try. 3D plane tracking. Here's DFW. Just change the extension for your favorite airport. Some may require four characters.

PIT-MYR... I remember seeing Hooters Air fly that route...
Did you guys see this @moredotsmorelines.com ? Cool concept, but from a quick look it seemed rather obscenely pricey. I do wonder what other really historic routes still exist, even if in piece parts (e.g. island hopper, Alaska milk run, any others?) youtu.be/ZoxIi8KZE4c?...
DLD 574: Crushing the Craving
Terrible airport dining, a mess in El Paso, and some interesting A350 action.
Porter confirms YTZ-MDW to end as ORD commences
YTZ-ORD to increase to 21 weekly over time

The mascot for Air Do (an airline based in Hokkaido, Japan) is Bear Do, a friendly polar bear.
A fantastic cocktail at One Flew South
Pro-tip: when flying through the ATL, book a long enough layover to enjoy the world's best airport restaurant.
An avgeek with some coding talent and a consuming interest in United Airlines developed and published the Blue Board, a real-time dashboard of UA ops around the world. This is amazing!

DLD 573: A Flying Fancy Feast
Can inflight dining ever really be premium? Or just better in some cabins than others? Plus legal drama over new routes, certification progress, and more.
Well, this will either end up being one of the wildest successes to date or a pretty big failure. But currently booked this afternoon on the last remaining pax Trislander, or at least so I’m told.
The rub? I’ve got only a 15m connection in AXA and departures from SXM run notoriously late.
Was passing through GCT so decided to see for myself. Definitely in an easy-to-miss spot!
Talked about that with Marty tonight. Fun times. ;)
DLD 572: Will They Ever Shut Up?
A longer than normal episode this week, thanks to special guest Ed and lots of wayward story lines.
Well, they're even older now. And have been in Venezuela for a while. So....
Meet up in Caracas?!? 🙈
Stop in for the souvenirs & the selfie station, but stay for the cool artifacts at the free mini-Mob Museum at Harry Reid Int'l Airport in Las Vegas.

A large mostly white twin engine commercial airplane in flight against a blue sky moments from landing. The fuselage has two shades of blue running the length of it with a gray belly. The landing gear is extended. Some vapor can be seen congregating around the wings
Well, it’s Monday again. Have a plane for some good luck
And Fozz paying attention. 😜
Four goofballs on a video call.
Full house recording this week's episode. Excited to have @pizzatalkstravel.bsky.social on with the regular crew (@wandrme.paxex.aero, @stephan.wtf, @fozzm.bsky.social) as well.
DLD 571: A Perfect 10?
Why is the 10 so hot right now? Plus cabin retrofits, premium economy, and some confusing CC action.
TRAN GIRLISMO: THE REAL PODCAST SIMULATOR (in the style of a certain playstation game)
hello I am launching my very own podcast with @jordanjamboree.pittbert.gay where we (mostly casually!) chat about car culture in the decline of the American empire, auto racing, and industry news interspersed with tales of our former auto journo careers. we call it TRAN GIRLISMO
Gol Plane at Cgh
Sad to hear that the founder of gol died. 57 yo. Ugh
