On this week’s episode of AvTalk, we discuss two statistically improbable events — an airACT 747 veered off the runway and struck a vehicle before ending up in the sea and a United Airlines 737-8 MAX struck something at 36,000 feet. We walk through the most likely scenario at this point.
Lack of communication (literally) leads to a diversion in Omaha, the NTSB releases its preliminary report on the runway overrun in Roanoke, Boeing is moving up to production of 42 737s per month, and the US Senate advances a bill that would add requirements for ADS-B In usage and remove exemptions for most military flights.

Hi Jason
You mentioned on the Podcast you are coming to Zurich
FYI Zurich airport has some excellent experiences https://www.flughafen-zuerich.ch/en/passengers/experience/experiences/tours-and-guided-tours.
The bus tour lets you get exit the bus at the runway intersection and you see take off and landings up quite close. Did it again last week.
There are also 2 plane spotters terraces.
Hope you enjoy Zurich
