September 11, 2001 changed aviation forever.
In this special episode, Captain Steeeve and Kennedy Steve look back at what commercial aviation and air traffic control were like before 9/11, what they remember about that period in aviation history, and the changes that followed.
Captain Steeeve brings the perspective of a career airline pilot and Naval aviator, while Kennedy Steve shares the view from the air traffic control side after decades working at New York’s JFK Airport.
From cockpit security and airport screening to air traffic procedures,
communication, and the overall culture of flying, they discuss just how different aviation was before September 11—and why so many of the procedures travelers take for granted today trace back to that day.
This episode is also a moment to remember the passengers, crews, first
responders, families, and countless others whose lives were forever changed on
September 11, 2001.
We will never forget.
