Gast: Alan Pardo, David Bauser Host: Markus Voelter Shownoter: Kalpana Goel
This is the second episode recorded at my trip to Airbus in Toulouse and we take a trip down memory lane, covering some of Airbus’ history. The first part of the episode is a recorded presentation (with some Q&A) with Alan Pardo, head of Marketing Communication at Airbus Toulouse. We cover the development of Airbus in general, and the Toulouse factory in particular. The second part is a walk through the Aeroscopia museum in Toulouse with David Bauser. Before his retirement he has worked for Airbus on the A-300 and the Concorde. We discuss those two airplanes, plus some general anecdotes from his time at Airbus.

Regarding close-flying with airliners, note that the US Air Force is testing a system for its Boeing C-17 large transport aircraft to fly together to reduce fuel burn.
The first half again has the problem that we cannot see the presentation and the planes that he was talking about. But the 2nd part was great. And only partly because I was in the same hall not too long ago and could picture where you were standing. :-)
By the way, the Concorde with the holes in the roof to observe the sun is one of those in Le Bourget (001, see http://cdsads.u-strasbg.fr/abs/1973Natur.246…72B and http://www.museeairespace.fr/aller-plus-haut/collections/bac-sud-aviation-concorde-prototype-001-f-wtss/), while the one in Toulouse is apparently 201.
