from The Black Box Aviation Podcast · host The Black Box

On this episode of the Black Box Aviation Podcast, Tom & Mike break down one of the most shocking aviation stories ever—FedEx Flight 705. In 1994, Auburn Calloway, an off-duty FedEx pilot, attempted to hijack a DC-10 using hammers, mallets, and even a speargun. His plan: crash into FedEx headquarters in Memphis. What followed was a brutal cockpit battle, a desperate fight for survival, and aerobatic maneuvers in a jumbo jet that were never meant to be possible.We also discuss the book Touching History by Lynn Spencer, which gives raw insights from pilots and controllers on 9/11, plus the “5th Plane” conspiracy that still stirs debate.✈️ Hear how three FedEx crew members fought back against impossible odds, saved the aircraft, and changed aviation security forever.📩 Connect with Us:Email: [email protected]/X: @the_black_box01Hotline: (203) 699-6792 (Leave your name for a shoutout!)#Aviation #FedExFlight705 #AviationPodcast #AirlineHistory #TrueCrime #BlackBoxPodcast #9/11Stories #PlaneHijacking
