About this episode

The episode discusses various aviation topics including a captain's controversial retirement flight and the impact of geopolitical issues on aviation.

Petter and Ben are back with a lot to talk about. The geopolitical situation in the Middle East is starting to hit aviation, an Icelandair captain's retirement flight is making headlines for all the wrong reasons, and a BA crew reminds us why the go-around decision is the most professional call a pilot can make. ----------------------------------------------------- If you want to support the work I do on the channel, join my Patreon crew and get awesome perks and help me move the channel forward! 👉🏻   ⁠⁠/ mentourpilot  ⁠ For more content about aviation incidents, find Mentour Pilot on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@MentourNow For more analysis of the aviation industry, find Mentour Now! on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@MentourNow And consider supporting the channel on Patreon, where you'll find bonus content, exclusive live hangouts with Petter, and early access videos: https://www.patreon.com/c/mentourpilot/home Hosted on Acast.
