Episode 66 - TWA Hotel…One Mission, Yours - Next Trip

Inside the TWA Hotel at JFK

Inside the TWA Hotel at JFK

Aired on March 1, 2021

Doug and Drew visit the TWA Hotel at JFK as part of a whirlwind avgeek coast to coast trip.  COVID19 was definitely dampening the experience along with rain but we still enjoyed the mid-century modern architecture of Eero Saarinen.  The rooftop pool was open  and we had burgers and drinks with a Lockheed Connie as our backdrop. An avgeek mecca for sure. 

Topics:

  • We close out Black History Month remembering aviatrix Bessie Colemean

  • PW4000 Boeing 777 update and inaccurate media coverage. #HeavyMayday

  • Airline traffic fell last year to its lowest level since 1984

  • Mexico City's new airport may not be completed. Will it cost more to cancel the project

  • Singapore Airlines continues upgrading the A380 as other airlines retire them

We end the show with Doug talking about pilot air-to-ground communication from takeoff to landing using our flight from Miami to JFK as the example.
