Captain Bill Palmer, author or “Understanding Air France 447“

  For starters, since our Thanksgiving post, I’ve been collaborating with A330 Captain Bill Palmer (“Understanding Air France 447“) to analyze the findings of last year’s AirAsia 8501 accident, and have come up with some important lessons to share with pilots and aviation enthusiasts alike.

AA550

American First Officer Steven Stackelhouse.

  Also in collaboration with Airways Magazine and AirwaysNews.com, we have an amazing exclusive interview with American Airlines First Officer Steve Stackelhouse, the “co-pilot” who diverted AA550 inflight after Captain Mike Johnston’s heart attack.

Our dear friend, the late Captain Michael Johnston.

  Sadly, we lost our comrade Captain Johnston, but FO Stackelhouse’s quick thinking and excellent airmanship saved the day.

  This is an EXCLUSIVE and detailed interview with my personal friend and coworker Steve, who wanted to share his story with the aviation community, and not just a random reporter who may not have experience with the airline business.

  We feel very honored by FO Steve’s gracious offer, and stand ready to properly share his story, as well as that of the late Captain Mike Johnston.

Here’s BBC’s article on the story: FO Saves Flight.

  This interview will be released sometime around Christmas, both online at AirwaysNews.com, and a more in-depth feature in the print issue, which will release that day in Airways Magazine, worldwide, in 35 countries. Don’t miss it!

Another gem is an on-the-scenes report, as I “fly the line” with First Officer Joshua as he and his captain make the rounds in their Pilatus turboprop for Boutique Air!

Read his initial article in NYCA Here.

Last but not least, I’m cooking up another Word on the Ramp video for you as well. In the meantime, here’s last year’s Word on the Ramp, special “Trekkie” Christmas edition!
