    Hi Max,
    I was wondering if it would be possible to mention the airplane of the week in the shownotes. I bet David would be happy, and sometimes we listeners can get a little about it before listening to the episode (e.g. I know well what a YF-17 is, but had no clue about that Malibu thing),
    best regards, fantastic show as always,

    Carlos: I think I haven’t gotten the airplane of the week into the show notes every week, but I’ll be sure to do that going forward. Thanks for the poke!
