Episode 132: Singapore Airshow 2026, Part 5

Welcome to episode 132 of The Journey Is the Reward!On this episode, Micah and Brian bring the epic storytelling of Brian’s trip to Singapore to a close. You might be wondering, "Will it ever end???" and the answer is finally yes—this is the final installment covering the Singapore Airshow 2026.To make sure we reached our destination in under an hour, the guys skipped the standard listener feedback mailbag this week. However, we did have to address a trending story brought to us by listener Lu regarding pets on planes. We share our thoughts on the recent incident in Las Vegas where a passenger abandoned her dog at the airport after failing to pass it off as a service animal to avoid fees. (This version of the show has the correct Listener Lu audio file.)We also have several important community updates to share. We get the latest on Cousin Mitchell’s situation in Thailand, and we hear that listener Tanya, who unfortunately won't make it to our New Jersey meetup as she’ll be heading across the pond for the 600th recording of Plane Talking UK. Additionally, Grant checks in to provide some "course corrections" on a few details Brian might have missed during previous segments on the airshow.For the main event, Micah has Brian break down his final post-trade show adventures and the long trek back across the Pacific. Despite some heavy turbulence on the flight home, Brian touched down safely at LAX and managed the drive back to Pasadena in record time.Join us for a Meetup! If you are in the New Jersey area on May 17th, we would love to see you:·       When: Sunday, May 17, at 4:00 PM·       Where: Charlie’s Pizza, Restaurant and Pub·       Address: 1980 Rt. 37, Manchester Township, NJ 08759And as always, our ears are blessed by the utterly soul-stirring, goosebump-inducing sounds of the Madalitso Youth Choir!
