Aired on March 29, 2021
Doug and Drew are circling back on our week with a look at Doug's work on his DC-10 simulator. How does it simulate acceleration, turbulence, and the G forces of flight? Spoiler alert - Drew learns you can't replicate rolling the DC-10 in the simulator. We also discuss the new routes airlines are launching and which ones we think are more than darts thrown at a board.
Other topics discussed:
Southwest resumes pre-pandemic boarding - is it too soon?
Airlines lobby the White House to start easing travel restrictions
Will (and should) vaccines be required for international travel?
Aer Lingus to launch service from Manchester to the U.S.
We finish the show with a really important question for you. Do you like aircraft takeoff or landing shots? We have the poll results and - big surprise - we have strong opinions!
