Forgetting Underwear & Fuel Dumping Disasters | Black Box Aviation Podcast

Even pro travelers make rookie mistakes — Tom forgot to pack underwear. 🧳✈️ Mike won’t let him live it down as the Black Box Aviation Podcast takes off with stories from the road.

This episode dives into the world of fuel dumping: why airlines do it, FAA rules, and what happened when Delta Flight 89 dumped thousands of gallons over Los Angeles, showering neighborhoods and schools below. Tom and Mike share their own experiences with emergency fuel dumps in the P-3 and MD-11, breaking down the regulations and real-world decision-making pilots face.

To lighten it up, we wrap with Hawaiian vacation stories — from tarmac strolls in tropical air to oddball encounters with locals, surfboards, and beach chairs.
