Sometimes we stumble upon some really cool aviation related articles while swimming through cyberspace. This one is no exception.

Titled, “The World’s Most Bizarre Aircraft Graveyards” it is what it sounds like – a collection of images of aircraft laid to rust around the world. From California to Arizona to New Mexico, Nigeria, Germany, and Ukraine to name a few. Enjoy this visual journey of retired airplanes.

Oh and be sure to grab a box of tissues. Don’t say we didn’t warn you…

Episode #20 – Airline Crashes, Conspiracy, & Flight For Control

Pre-Flight

In this episode of the Stuck Mic AvCast, we took a slight deviation from the normal show format once again as we interviewed a very special aviator about her first novel, an aviation thriller involving airline accidents, conspiracy, and more. Join us in meeting Karlene Petitt, author of Flight For Control, as we learn about the 8 airlines she’s worked for in her flying career including the inspiration and backstory behind the book. If you haven’t read Flight For Control, you should. Len read it in 3 sittings, it was that captivating! A must read, highly recommended.
