Extreme turbulence

Description
On this week’s episode of AvTalk, we discuss the extreme turbulence encountered by Singapore Airlines’ flight SQ321 that led to the death of one passenger and serious injuries to dozens of others. We also focus on how media reporting got the story wrong for so long. We also discuss the crash of the helicopter carrying the president of Iran and the curious pattern by the Turkish UCAV sent to search for the crash site. Elsewhere, Frontier is crafting a new way to sell fares and ancillary products that looks remarkably like a traditional airline. And flamingos make an unexpected appearance. Thank you for listening!
