Man muss die Feste feiern wie sie fallen. Das hat Austrian Airlines getan und die Einflottung des ersten fabriksneuen Flugzeugs seit 16 Jahren ausgiebig zelebriert. Höhepunkt war der erste Linienflug des A320neo, Destination London. Denn dort, wie auch auf anderen wichtigen Flughäfen in Europa, sinken die Landegebühren drastisch, weil das neue Flugzeug zu den leisesten und spritsparendsten am Markt zählt. AIRzählungen war beim Erstflug dabei und liefert euch die ersten hautnahen Eindrücke. Viel Spaß!

In this episode, Adele and Jeremie share their experiences of  their first flights as crew members. We also have several of our Flight Attendant friends sharing their own experiences!

Trevor started his journey into general aviation at age ten. From there on, only the sky was the limit. In order to afford flight training, Trevor did what any kid his age would do: he started a business selling aviation apparel. With that, http://ChartItAll.com was born.

Trevor soloed a Cessna 172P on this sixteenth birthday, and he will have his private pilot certificate shortly after turning seventeen. As if that's not enough already, Trevor has announced that he is planning to fly a single-engine airplane around the world all by himself. His mission is to encourage grade school kids at all levels to follow their dreams.

Follow along on his journey, and stand behind him as he makes this epic journey to share aviation and STEM education with the entire world.
