About this episode

The episode features travel stories, aviation experiences, and an interview with Scottie Bateman about his new book.

This week we’re all over the place—in a good way. Bob’s fresh off a trip to Uzbekistan, which turns into a conversation about some of our old Russia flying days. We get into what’s happening behind the scenes on the next Cockpit Casual , and tell a story about shutting down an engine in a 757 on the way into Guam. Then we’re joined by Scottie Bateman—BA captain, filmmaker, and now author—to talk about his new book Jumbo and his path through aviation and media. Find Scottie's latest book on Amazon UK (from anywhere) and check out the Video Pod on YouTube with some gross footage of Bob and Steve diving into some Balut in the Philippines (ya had to be there)...
