Episode 114 - Cities that Changed Your Life

Back in the KC10

Aired on January 31, 2022

Doug’s pilot memoir this week is his return to the KC10 after several months. Was it like riding a bike? We talk about the KC10’s successor, the KC46 Pegasus, based on a 767-200 with a 767-400 flight deck. Does it measure up to the KC10 Extender? Also on this episode:

·       The UK relaxes COVID19 documentation requirements

·       Air India returns to the Tata Group after 69 years

·       Lufthansa and Air France push back on the EU’s climate plans

·       US retaliates against China by blocking flights after China’s regulations against US flights

We end the episode with a fun discussion on things people say that make avgeek’s twitch. British Airlines? QUANTAS? 787-900?
