The first season of the Airline Time Machine podcast has been completed, and all seventeen episodes are available on several top podcast listening platforms including Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Pocket Casts, Podcast Addict, and Amazon Music. Season 2 has launched with the story of America's Local Service Airlines and their formation in the late 1940s, and there's many more airline history stories to come in the months ahead!

Episode 15 of The Airline Time Machine Podcast is online now, and it's the story of how Boeing made the decision to enter the jet airliner market in the early 1950s, helped along by an unauthorized - but highly effective - flight maneuver at a very public venue!

I've finally launched The Airline Time Machine Podcast as a way to share the stories kicking around in my head about airline history and the people, aircraft, airports, and air carriers that made that history! Each week will bring a new podcast episode, and more than a dozen are already loaded and ready to hear. The range of topics is wide, covering stories (so far!) about the Graf Zeppelin and Hindenburg airships, the rise of Airbus, Denver's old Stapleton International Airport, the history of smoking on airliners, a look at the development of airliner lavatories, the myth and the history...

My Fathers Day gift this year was the spectacular Lego Concorde model kit, an adult-level "toy" that, once built, results in a detailed model of the iconic Concorde supersonic airliner measuring 41.5 inches long by 17 inches wide! I'm having a great time working on building the model, and have been astounded by the intricacy and detail provided (like the onboard lavatories seen here) - will post more photos of the completed effort!

Hello from the Airline Time Machine gang!  We'll be away for holiday/vacation between June 15 and 30, so won't be able to process orders during that time. You're welcome to visit our online store, and place an order, but the making of items for your order (and the shipping of your order!) won't take place until the week of July 1. Cheers!
