Episode 187 - Paris 2023

Aired on June 26, 2023

Drew has a rough week with nights ending up at IHOP and not Jimmy’s (we’ll explain) and Doug is on a soccer dad break from KC46 training. On this episode we discuss:

• Paris Airshow begins

• Indigo has a record 500 plane order, Qantas orders the A220 to replace the 717, Phillipine Airlines orders A350’s

• Boeing and Airbus forecast the need for 40,000+ planes in the next 20 years

• Spirit Aerosystem machinists go on strike, causing new supply chain issues for the 737 and 787

• The OceanGate Titan tragedy has an aviation angle

• Is a biplane DC9 with props the future of commercial aviation? Enter the TTBW

• Boom Supersonic forges ahead with manufacturers lined up to make the Overture’s fuselage and wings

We end the show with a discussion about missed approaches and go-arounds. Don’t be afraid and enjoy more flight time. :)
