It’s another PlaneMadness Podcast! It’s Episode 39 this time and there’s lots to talk about. Things seem to be happening as I recorded this episode as well - Namely (besides the US economic implosion) that Yves Rossi made it across the English Channel!

And last but certainly not least, my apologies for it having been so long since Episode 38.

As usual, life got in the way .
