🎙️ EPISODE SNAPSHOT

This week, the Bryan Air Podcast takes a hard look at the preliminary accident report into the tragic Extra 300 crash at the Durban Airshow — breaking down key findings, safety gaps, and lessons for the aviation community. We also dig into the bizarre case of a South African-registered Sling 4 shot down in South America, and debate the global push to raise the pilot retirement age. Plus, we round up major aviation headlines from engine failures to eVTOL progress, airline policies, and the world’s longest direct flight.
