Episode 143 - You’ll Take What’s Available

Aired on August 22, 2022

This week’s show has an airport theme with our buddy Francis, an airport ops supervisor, joining us for the 2nd time. Francis explains airport classifications, signage, and how they deal with diversions. We also dicuss:

• American Airlines joining the list of customers for the Boom SST

• Why tarmacs are made of asphalt or concrete

We end with a quick lesson on airport signage and lighting that will raise your avgeek credentials.

Find Francis on Twitter at @foxtrotcola and on Instagram at @francis.colacino.
