Change is in the air! I’m recording this quick update from my home base at Duxford Airfield to share some news and updates about the podcast.

To keep things simple and honest, I’ve decided to bring everything I do, from aviation talk to travel adventures, under one single roof: Fernando’s Logbook. This means The Pilot's Logbook and Travel Plans are officially merging into one magazine-style show.
