The Good the Bad and the Ugly: The Aviation Maintenance Industry - Raw!

Hello everyone and welcome to this last minuet bonus podcast!.  I've been asked quite a lot recently why we're seeing all these aircraft tire blow out incidents on commercial flights and whether re-treaded or 're-capped' aircraft tires are really safe. I'll answer these questions and put your mind at ease while an additional bonus, you get to hear my not so great COVID voice (yes I still have the effects of that nasty COVID crap) so I am using another microphone, the Shure MV7X to mask some of the unpleasantries of my still crappy voice.  Enjoy!  Also, new website is up! https://aviationmxtruth.com/ If you have questions, thoughts, concerns or want to share YOUR stories and experiences live on the podcast?
