The Journey Is The Reward (dot) ORG Brian T. Coleman

On episode 74, I get to interview Micah again. He did a road trip up to northern Maine to watch the solar eclipse. Something I missed this year and I haven't seen one since I was in grade school in New Jersey.  

But first, Listener Lu joins us again with a question. She wants to know if I'll be flying on the newly refurbished Lufthansa A-380s.

In Additions, Corrections and Shoutouts, Micah might have found a home for Shreenand's Stearman.

And I finally look of the names of our Patrion supporters. I'm so sorry this has taken me so long and I'm so pathetic at keeping track of these very valuable listeners. Currently, our supporters include, Alan, Vincent, Phillip, Hendrik and Kathleen. I know there have been others in the past and if you aren't on this list now, please let me know!

Lastly, please send in a list of your favorite aviation museum and why it's your favorite. We will go over these on Episode 76!

Listener Claire writes in and tells us how she can relate to Matt Smiths fear of flying as she talks about her experience with a Go Around in Denver.

And sadly, there isn't a question this week from Listener Lu. Hey Listener Lu, we want to know where you are??? :-)

In Additions, Corrections and Shoutouts, Listener Hendric updates us on European Compensation, EU261.

I ask for help with the project I'm working on at the California Science Center. We are looking for anyone with experience in the field of aviation to make a donation of time, talent or funds to support a program for disadvantaged students.

Micah and I then talk about my trip with neighbor Shelley to Singapore. She was surprised to learn we got upgraded to Polaris... which was very nice.

On episode 71, Micah and I talk about my trip to Medford Oregon with my neighbors to drink wine.  

But first, we have some Listener Mail from Listener Todd. Todd reminisces about his time in Lodi, CA and not his son is working in the wine industry there. Then we answer a question from Listener Leslie. She wants to know about our oldest airplane we have flown on. And as usual, it's a difficult question to answer.

Listener Lu wants to know if we see anything wrong with the new American Airlines pilots’ contracts?

Micah and I also share our heartfelt condolences to Listener Matt and his family. Matt lost his mom who was 96 years young and just an incredible woman who I had the pleasure of meeting.

Micah and I lighten up the conversation and talk about my experiences on Avelo. Sadly, they are no longer the airline I want to love.

Then we conclude the show with a mention of the Singapore meetup at LeVeL33 on Friday April 19 at 7:00PM. LeVeL33 is located at the Marina Bay Financial Centre Tower 1 on the 33rd floor. I hope to meet you there!

On episode 70, Micah and I talk with Eric the Mapmaker about his trip on Alaska Airlines. He flew from JFK to Palm Springs to Seattle to Newark and has some interesting comments about his trips.  

But first, we have some Listener Mail from Chef Kathy, who tells Micah about the U2 song he likes. Then we hear from Listener Ron who wants to know if we feel safe flying these days. And then we close the segment with an email from a United flight attendant explaining why planes might be serviced to the level of customer expectations.

Listener Lu wants to know if pilots can fly for free?

In Additions, Corrections and Shoutouts, I get to apologize to Listener Dag for forgetting it was Easter when he planned a visit and I had to cancel. :-( 

We are reminding our listeners to send in a list of your favorite aviation museum and why it's your favorite.

Micah and I then talk about my surprise trip to visit with Momma Coleman and my two wonderful flights with United. Even though I couldn't get my Bluetooth headset to work with the IFE system, I had a great time with the Purser and other flight attendants.

I even received a very nice note from the Captain and learned a bit more about my United Challenge Coins!
