Episode 5: Jet Lag Recovery
By Grant (Falcon124), on August 16th, 2009
Steve’s back from his trip to the USA and, despite some jet lag woes, he’s in the recording studio and the banter is flowing in our longest episode yet. Sadly, the first 15 minutes sound like Grant’s testing NASA’s new Interplanetary Internet and experiencing a really crappy connection. Not to worry, it soon clears up and the rest of the episode quite clearly reveals our usual commentary on this week’s local aviation news stories, including the following topics:
- Airlines PNG Twin Otter crash at Kokoda
 Landing gear incidents @ Bankstown (YSBK)
- Regional airlines worrying about aircraft
- Flying Doctor losing a contract
 Steve discusses his visit to the TWiT Cottage and meeting Leo Laporte (go on gang, you *know* you’re jealous :) - Steve clarifies that he went to Eaker AFB while in the USA but named it incorrectly during his update on the previous episode
- Steve talks about his flights with V Australia
- We discuss an article by Andrew McLaughlin in the July issue of Australian Aviation magazine about United Airlines fighting to retain share on the Pacific route
- Tiger is taking steps to improve its image
- V Australia wants to fly to Fiji
- Grant talks about his experiences going to Sydney for the SimpliFlying/PCDU Tweet Up along side the Asia Pacific Aviation Outlook Summit 2009 conference
- QANTAS links its frequent flyer program to the Woolworths loyalty program
- AirAsiaX news
- Malaysia Airlines getting stung by low cost carriers
- Laser taggers arrested

First of all, the cash never got here to the states you two. I’m from Illinois – yes Chicago – where EVERYONE pays to get anything done they tell me. So get on this!
Next, I’ve been meaning to tell you how much I enjoy your show. As usual we were chatting about you guys on Airplane Geeks yesterday. Listeners actually tell us – gulp – that they like you guys. But don’t let it go to your heads.
BTW, what is that marvelous music that you use at the start of the show?
Sorry about that Rob…I left the battered suitcase under a small park bench near the river in Little Rock…trust me!! We should’ve started this thing two years ago – I was in Chicago in 2007!
The music track is called “YouNameIt5″ by Brian Simpson (aka t3cat5) and was sourced from http://www.soundsnap.com You can find it there in the music loops category. The track on its own is quite catchy, but I added the didgeridoo sounds to the start to give it a more Aussie feel, and also the aircraft sounds for obvious reasons. It took a lot of tweaking, but I was happy with the result. If you’d like a copy of the track, I can send it to you – just let me know.
Thanks for the continued support – we really appreciate it.
Cheers
Steve
Steve, love the fun spat back and forth about the cash for Mark. Other than that, keep up the good work on the podcast which I enjoy listening too. Take care
