Paul Brennan and Martin Noakes chew the latest global aviation fatfrom a Southern Hemisphere perspective.

Another ramble through this and that with some aviation and quite a bit of other stuff - mainly aviation though

Perhaps slightly less ranting this time. Perhaps

Stream of semi-consciousness and stuff about planes

Most of the stories discussed are linked on the AirSide twitter account @Airsideradio

Today we discuss (ramble on maybe) about AirNZ, how long the DC-8 60 series was. How the 767-X might be and some other stuff.   

Audio of the Youtube version. Probably an easier listen as the mobile connection we were using for the zoom version had sync issues with the sound. Also about 5 minutes after we finished I read the news that 747 production is probably wrapping up. Missed it!! Oh well, next show I guess

The audio from the AirSide TV Youtube/Zoom episode. As the Youtube/Zoom  version basically consists of Paul and I talking at screens - they're essentially the same

New episode - this time we are trying something new. Everybody else is using Zoom and so are we. This episode is also on Youtube with me in on the ground in Roma and Paul in his studio in Auckland. Here is the link: https://youtu.be/77OfS6Dy5N0 In this episode we obviously and unfortunately discuss the effect that the COVID-19/Wuhan virus is having upon the local aviation environment and beyond.

In this episode we talk mainly about the Corona virus and a bit about aviation

Aviation News and views with an NZ flavour, plus some other stuff. Warning - There is a bit of ranting.
