In light of the unfortunate circumstance of ET 302, I felt it was important to share these exclusive clip highlights of being on board the very first delivery flight in July of 2018. Very few get to see or experience a Delivery Flight from Boeing to an airline. So I hope this here sheds light on the...

I believe Airline Review lasted 2-3 issues. It was a disaster due to the misspelling of Qantas (spelled Quantas) on their front cover. But the lack of payment or crediting was due to the financial bankruptcy and the lack of money in the end. Their cover artwork though I felt were good. Nothing is ev...

Shyflyer, Thanks for the feedback. Actually, this was done in the very early stages of our company... we worked quite hard and being a first 'cockpit' - it was a great challenge. It took over a month to film this and quite a few flights, I believe to 5 destinations. We have since moved on and our wo...
