Lady Gaga, Jumpseat Drama & West Jet St. Maarten Evacuation

This week on the Black Box Aviation Podcast, Tom & Mike cover everything from music icons to major aviation headlines. Tom visits New York, takes in the USS Intrepid Air Museum, and maybe even spots Lady Gaga — but is he really a fan?We break down the WestJet 2276 hard landing in St. Maarten that forced a passenger evacuation and shut down the airport, plus a discussion on jumpseat etiquette following news of the Alaska Airlines pilot who took mushrooms and tried to shut down the engines — now pleading guilty.Other highlights include how a simple smile from a hotel worker can change your whole trip, the preliminary report on aerobatic legend Rob Holland’s crash, and a preview of next week’s special guest — an air traffic controller giving us inside details on national airspace chaos.📩 Connect with Us:✉️ [email protected]📸 Instagram & X: @the_black_box01📞 Hotline: (203) 699-6792 (Leave your name!)#Aviation #PilotLife #BlackBoxAviationPodcast #LadyGaga #WestJet #Jumpseat #RobHolland
