Manage episode 342883436 series 2641347
This week our thoughts are with our listeners in Florida who are dealing with the aftermath of Hurricane Ian. We highlight NOAA and their work studying and other storms, to improve forecasts, and we take a close look at their Hurricane Hunter aircraft. Currently two Lockheed WP-3D aircraft named Kermit and Ms. Piggy are tasked with flying into the eye’s of storms. An engineer on one of the passes through Ian called it the worst flight he’s ever had in terms of turbulence! Other topics on this episode:
Virgin Atlantic finally joins SkyTeam

China Airlines of Taiwan confrms order for 16 787-9’s
Asia continues to open up with Japan, Taiwan, and Hong Kong lifting restrictions

We end the episode with a tank dive into what speed tape is - don’t be afraid, it’s normal to see on aircraft.
