DLD 536: Island Time 29.05.2025 27:06 ↓

Flying the Air Inuit 737-200 Combi to Puvirnituq's gravel runway is an AvGeek bucket list item. Alas, the 47-year old plane had other ideas. But we still had an interesting/good time.

DLD 531: Walk this way 24.04.2025 35:00 ↓

DLD 520: It just sucks 06.02.2025 31:59 ↓

Last week was decidedly bad for aviation in many ways. Ugh.

DLD 519: Rankings and Rantings 30.01.2025 41:06 ↓
