About this episode
Join Carlos, Matt, and Armando for this week's show. In this week's show a US carrier turns a profit, we celebrate International Civil Aviation day and one country asks its crews to wear nappies (diapers) onboard. In the military, we salute Brigadier General Chuck Yeager, the first man to break the sound barrier, and a super hornet crew eject after a take off roll. In this week's Plane Truth we're learning all about Pilot Licensing. Jodi Reuger joins us to update us on the challenges that Aviation has thrown at her in 2020. She's an Airshow Pilot, Competition Aerobatic & Tailwheel Instructor and Airline Pilot! Her YouTube channel is https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyJhMuL7_-0NzbSkx2cij_A.
