Episode 370 Show Notes

Our thoughts and prayers are with the families that lost loved ones in the tragedy over the Potomac. There are no words to describe the pain you’re suffering and while a thorough investigation may answer your questions, it won’t bring your loved ones back. We are so sorry for your loss and want you to know the aviation community is right beside you in your time of need.

This accident will define the next generation responsible for maintaining the safest airspace in the world. Your lost loved ones will serve as vivid reminders that life is precious, our time on earth is often unfairly limited, and we must always strive to be better stewards of the aviation transportation system.

On today’s show, we will share our experience and hopefully give listeners the context they need to understand the accident and shape their safety practices moving forward.
