  • Anti-Boeing Trolls -VS- Me

    Hello everyone and welcome!   This podcast was supposed to be a bonus podcast but instead I thought it needed to be said sooner rather than later..  

    Why does social media and the ignorant make false claims, spread bad information and hate on those of us who dare tell the TRUTH?  Why do Anti-Boeing trolls hesitate or deflect when told facts and why do they get so upset when those living in reality put them in their place?  What do they have to gain and what do they have to loose?  After the 777 Air France flight AF11 'incident' overseas, it got worse. ** And BTW, turns out the preliminary investigation shows NOTHING WRONG with the aircraft making the Anti-Boeing trolls ever more sour! ** 

    There is so much bad aviation information out there.  Who can you trust and who can you not?  Well, I break it down for you in another one of my famous, 'passionate' explanations.  Tune in!

  • 2022's first expose'- The Saga of N874AA

    Hello and welcome to this, 2022's first expose' podcast!

    We're talking about the saga of N874AA (I refer to it in the show as "Nine874”)
    An ex- AA 727 that was donated to the museum of flight in Seattle, WA & ended up in the hands of a museum located in Missouri. It was ultimately scrapped in 2021.  But it’s not the scrapping of the aircraft which I found interesting, it's the circumstances surrounding the scrapping of the aircraft which is right up the alley of 'shady'.  And yes, it includes some aircraft maintenance 'stuff' too!
    Strap in and hold on, another great expose' episode coming at you!

  • China Eastern Air Crash: Debunking false/bad aircraft information

    Hello everyone and welcome!   In this pretty much, off-the-cuff episode; I am dispelling some ridiculous statements, rumors and B.S information about the China Eastern Airlines B737-800 that crashed today carrying 132 people in southern China.  A very tragic and saddening event that's becoming overshadowed by anti-Boeing propaganda, false narratives and asinine aircraft 'tech' information.  Yours truly is debunking this garbage.  Tune in!

  • Bonus 11.5: "Was I picking on Cpt. Sully Sullenberger?" Nope. An Explanation.

    Hello and welcome everyone! 

    In this kind of-sorta bonus, 'explanation' podcast I'm talking about how some of my social media postings recently were taken out of context when referring to Cpt. Sullenberger.  

    Sully is an amazing person, an American hero, no doubt!  I have NOTHING 'against' him.  But his focus as US. Aviation Ambassador seems to me focused solely on the safety of flight, for the flight crew (and of course the PAX)   I would just like to see his focus on aviation safety beyond that of the flight crew as there is far more safety issues facing the industry.  

    So I'm putting it back into context with this episode.  

    *Note at the beginning I said "Sullenberg" instead of Sullenberger. Apologies Cpt.

  • Bonus #10: What's with all these aircraft tire mishaps? Are re-treaded tires really safe?

    Hello everyone and welcome to this last minuet bonus podcast!.  I've been asked quite a lot recently why we're seeing all these aircraft tire blow out incidents on commercial flights and whether re-treaded or 're-capped' aircraft tires are really safe. I'll answer these questions and put your mind at ease while an additional bonus, you get to hear my not so great COVID voice (yes I still have the effects of that nasty COVID crap) so I am using another microphone, the Shure MV7X to mask some of the unpleasantries of my still crappy voice.  Enjoy!  Also, new website is up! https://aviationmxtruth.com/

  • Episode 12: Aircraft Mechanics liability and the consequences!

     Hello and welcome!  In this podcast, I once again do my due diligence, and spoke to three aviation lawyers about an aircraft mechanics' liability and the consequences according to the LAW.  

    You'll be surprised how easy it is to be held criminally culpable of negligence as an aircraft mechanic EVEN if you followed the tech pubs!    I walk you through the process of how and why as explained to me by aviation lawyers.

  • Merry Christmas 2021! Welcome 2022!

    Christmas 2021 message from yours truly! 

    This year has been FILLED with so much good, bad, and ugly throughout the world and throughout the aviation industry as well.  With the podcast studio under repair and re-construction, I hope to be up and running by the end of January 2022. There will still be a January podcast but with previously recorded content.  ( "A Mechanics liability and the consequences" ) 

    If you are flying this Christmas, please remember to be courteous to the crew and thank them for keeping you safe.  In addition, if you see an aircraft mechanic(s)  tell them thank you for braving the elements and ALSO for keeping you safe while you travel. 

    Thank you everyone for the support and have a blessed and safe holiday, we'll see you next year!
