We also dissect a JetBlue A220 landing incident at BOS in strong crosswinds, a dramatic heavy landing we recently had ourselves, and a few stories from our time on the ground, from custom suits with Rocky in Hong Kong to a faulty Rolex wristband made by Suzy in Shanghai.Other highlights include:The chaos and character you find at air shows — and the stories you wish you’d captured at the time.The ins-and-outs of Category I, II, and III ILS approaches.What happens when your brakes overheat after a heavy, high-energy landing — and why a heavy aircraft with weak brakes is a recipe for careful ground operations.The controversy over whether or not to equip aircraft with brake fans (with a funny Air Jamaica story).Our Travel Accessory Review: the Buddew Electric Lunch Box — the perfect way to warm up your meal while you’re on the go.📬 Connect with us:📧 [email protected]📸 Instagram & X: @the_black_box01📱 Hotline: (203) 699-6792 — leave your name and a message, we might feature it on a future episode!✨ Black Box Aviation — Where stories from the flight deck come alive!
