    The politics of the air

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=thqbjA2DC-E I thought a few people here might find this interesting. The narrator is not awesome but fairly interesting. It also has a shout out to the PER-LON route that has gotten a fair bit of discussion around here recently. Not sure if this is the right...
