šŸŽ™ļø Flight Log of Lost Words — Episode 10: Spooky Idioms at the Edge of Transmission
Some aviation stories never make it into manuals. Some words drift through the air like echoes. And some idioms sound as though they were lifted from the crackling static between far-off transmissions.
Tonight, Aviation English specialist Emilia Barska guides you into the linguistic twilight — where English becomes atmospheric, eerie, and unmistakably skybound.
In this Halloween edition, we explore:
āœˆļø Ghost flights and the idiom fly under the radar
āœˆļø Disappearances like Flight 19 and MH370 behind vanish into thin air
āœˆļø Fragile emergencies through hang by a thread
āœˆļø The haunting quiet of Denver International Airport and the calm before the storm
āœˆļø Airplane graveyards wrapped in silence and stories laid to rest

Fasten your harness and listen in — because in the sky, as in language, what disappears is never truly gone.
