• Be Very Afraid of This Pilot

  After running this blog for three years or so I can honestly say I’ve seen and heard quite a few really interesting stories about the aviation industry.

• The Top 10 Reasons They Missed MSP

  Just like Alice falling down the rabbit hole, unraveling the real story behind the Northwest/Delta Airlines crew who forgot to land at MSP just keeps getting curiouser and curiouser.

• Lessons From the Crash of Air France 447

  Having just traveled to Paris on an Air France A330 a week before the crash of Flight 447, I took a rather personal interest in the crisis wondering whether it might have been the same aircraft I’d flown on the week before for starters and a host...

• A Little Fun with Air New Zealand

  Here’s a new installment of our sporadic Fun Friday adventures. From a couple of Jetwhine readers I now share a couple of very funny videos.

• Max Says "Learn to Fly" … Pass it on

  For writers, any kind of writers, the big league means writing books. My first foray came 20 years ago when Tab Books - eventually absorbed into the McGraw Hill network - gave me a chance to write about something I held near and dear to my heart, and...

• Jetwhine Wins a Webbie

  The past six months have not been easy for the aviation industry, or any other industry quite frankly, as we’ve all witnessed the bottom falling out of the marketplace. No one has any idea whether we’ve actually hit the bottom or not, nor...

• Business Jet Travel: A Line in the Sand

  Remember the old days, back when people had little respect for business airplanes simply because they knew next to nothing about them?

• Airline Labor: Tougher Tactics to Come?

  I have to good fortune to be one of the aviation resources some media folks seem to want to use to translate complex aviation babble into language even my 14-year old daughter can understand. We don’t have too many good-news stories in the airline...

• Landing Light

  After just digging out from under 10 inches of lake effect snow in Chicago, I walked in to find these great shots from a Jetwhine reader. Thanks Alan J.

• FAA Solves ATC Staffing Crisis

  It only took the agency a couple of years - actually about 10 I believe - but FAA has finally taken action on the problem of too many airplanes and two few air traffic controllers to keep them all apart. And before you ask, yes, the downturn in the economy...

  Having flown the brilliantly-engineered Dassault 7X last year in Paris, the thought of a model somewhere between the real thing and the one that sits on my desk was intriguing.
