Issue Overview
In the 30 years since the Soviet Union collapsed, the world aerospace and airline industries have gone truly global. Remember when Aeroflot flew a motley collection of aging Tupolevs and Ilyushins, and not the new Airbus A350s and Boeing 777s it flies today? Remember when flights to Asia had to make a tech stop in Anchorage? Perhaps we all grew a little too confident that the world had been truly knitted together since 1991.
