About this episode
Late-night musings from Dylan and Max: corrections on "newest airports," a touchdown-point math fix, and Max's Cub antics after an oil change—including a surprise landing on BLM dirt near Lake Pleasant. Then: the inaugural JSX ATR into Scottsdale, a Japan trip preview, a wild "Gleaming the Cube" airport intro, Jepp AMM taxi chart nerd-out, ForeFlight layoff chatter, and Airplane Manager's new AI. The mailbag brings career moves, SOP love, a real-world bird strike at rotation, and finally: Flight Advice from a pilot spouse (Marie) asking what "stay flexible" really means when you've got kids, a career, and possible commuting in the future.
