Guest: Squadron Leader Peter Pennell, retired, RNZAF Navigator Host: Dave Homewood Recorded: ‎17th of August 2026 Released: 27th of August 2026 Duration: 1 hour 59 minutes 6 seconds Dave Homewood sits down with Peter Pennell, a former RNZAF Navigator, for a chat. Peter was posted straight from completion of his training at Wigram to England where he joined No. 75 Squadron RNZAF and began conversion to the English Electric Canberra bomber. The squadron then collected six Canberra B.2’s and ferried them to their new base at Tengah, Singapore. The unit replaced No. 14 Squadron and were soon involved in operations as part of the Malayan Emergency. Peter talks in detail and tells some classic stories about those days in Canberras, particularly with No. 75 Squadron in Singapore for 2.5 years, and also about his next posting to No. 14 Squadron back home at Ohakea in the Canberra B(I).12 bombers and T.13 trainers. Peter was again deployed to Singapore with the Canberras, this time on No. 14 Squadron during the Indonesian Confrontation. After a year with No. 14 Squadron, Peter was posted to the Transport Support Unit at RNZAF Station Whenuapai where he converted onto Bristol Freighter transport planes. Once trained up as a navigator on the Freighter, he was then posted to No. 41 Squadron RNZAF, and made his way back to Singapore. The squadron was flying in support of Australian and US forces in South East Asia. He had a stint in Douglas C-47 Dakotas of No. 42 Squadron next at Ohakea, and then was posted back to Whenuapai to a non-flying role in Base Operations. He ended up having control of every aircraft movement in the RNZAF throughout New Zealand and overseas. Peter tells some absolutely classic stories, and in detailed clarity.

In this episode, we kick things off by examining a massive cargo theft recovery near Chicago that reveals the sophisticated nature of organized freight crime. The Cook County Sheriff's Office recovered two stolen trailers containing over $1.3 million in copper wire and data center equipment at a truck yard in Elk Grove Township. Both trailers had been equipped with stolen license plates and were linked to the same unidentified driver, though no arrests have been announced yet. Next, we shift over to the air cargo sector where a state-owned Chinese carrier is making a landmark move that signals a major thaw in trade relations. China Southern Airlines placed an order with Boeing for seven freighter aircraft, including five of the all-new 777-8F models expected to hit the market in 2028. This represents the first purchase of the 777-8 freighter by a mainland China carrier and comes after China reopened its market to Boeing during President Trump's May visit to Beijing. Finally, we explore how a biometric privacy lawsuit filed in 2021 by an Illinois truck driver has just expanded into a potentially costly class action. A federal judge granted class status to the case against Universal Intermodal Services over fingerprint scanners used at its Harvey, Illinois facility. The broader class definition brings in workers from a Universal Logistics subsidiary and third-party staffing agencies, significantly expanding the scope of potential damages under Illinois' stringent Biometric Privacy Act.

The era of masked bandits sticking up delivery trucks has been replaced by sophisticated international crime rings executing multi-million-dollar heists from behind a glowing keyboard. By deploying phishing scams and remote access tools, hackers are silently breaching the networks of logistics brokers to impersonate trusted carriers and redirect entire fleets of high-value goods. This episode investigates the massive surge in cyber-enabled cargo theft—a $700+ million invisible crime wave that is quietly bleeding the global supply chain dry.

We kick off this episode by looking at the air cargo sector, where ⁠National Airlines is preparing to launch its first Boeing 777-200 freighter⁠ into service this May. This new twin-engine aircraft offers a 112-ton payload and increased fuel efficiency for a market currently facing tightening widebody availability. Out on the water, experts warn that the ⁠Strait of Hormuz may remain restricted for six months or more⁠ even after the war concludes due to unmarked mines scattered in the waterway. These severe safety hazards have caused marine insurers to declare force majeure and drastically hike war risk premiums for commercial vessels. Finally, we head down to the border to examine how ⁠Mexico's heavy-duty truck exports experienced a noticeable decline⁠ during the month of March. This manufacturing contraction is directly tied to cautious fleet investments in the United States, which remains the dominant market for these outbound shipments. ⁠Follow the FreightWaves NOW Podcast⁠ ⁠Other FreightWaves Shows⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.

In today's episode, we cover the latest developments across air, sea, and rail freight, starting with a major breakthrough in the air cargo sector. We discuss how the Federal Aviation Administration has officially cleared the first-ever Boeing 777-200 passenger-to-freighter conversion, which will provide massive payload capacity and twin-engine fuel efficiency for operators. Next, we shift our focus to the water, where ongoing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East have led to new security and transit tolls for commercial vessels navigating the Strait of Hormuz. We analyze how these new transit levies could add $1 per barrel to crude oil, potentially triggering an aggressive spike in global diesel and bunker fuel prices for carriers already struggling with elevated war risk premiums. Finally, we wrap up with a look at the East Coast, where a long-standing regulatory battle over intermodal rail access has reached a definitive conclusion. The Surface Transportation Board recently awarded Norfolk Southern control of a disputed port rail line, a move expected to streamline complex switching operations, eliminate redundant interchanges, and boost overall intermodal velocity.

Send us a textA freighter longer than a skyscraper is tall. Waves four seconds apart that can bend steel. A ballad recorded in a single take that changed how an entire industry thinks about risk. We sat down with John U. Bacon, author of The Gales of November, to trace the Edmund Fitzgerald from blueprint to bell, and from storm science to the quiet rooms where families still keep watch.We unpack what makes the Great Lakes uniquely dangerous: freshwater's sharper, closer-spaced waves; locally brewing systems that sit right over your head; and the long, narrow hulls forced by the Soo Locks. John explains how changes to the Plimsoll line let ships ride lower and heavier than intended, why welded seams and added tonnage tightened margins, and how a northern route, dark beacons, and dead radar turned one November run into a blind sprint. We revisit the race dynamics of the locks, the near-miss culture of “just one more trip,” and the accident chain that can turn routine into tragedy in minutes.Beyond the mechanics, we spend time with the people whose choices and dreams were on board: a celebrated captain delaying retirement to pay for his wife's care, a young deckhand saving for a road trip and a future he'd mapped out, an engineer mailing a ring home days before the lake took him. Then we follow the song—Gordon Lightfoot's first-take recording that became a national memorial—and how attention, grief, and storytelling helped drive reforms. The most striking fact remains: from 1875 to 1975, the lakes saw thousands of wrecks; in the fifty years since the Fitzgerald, not one commercial ship has been lost.If you care about maritime history, human resilience, and how culture can push safety forward, this conversation belongs in your queue. Listen, share with a friend who loves Great Lakes lore or music history, and if it moved you, subscribe and leave a review to help others find the show.

While we see trucks and trains moving freight around the country, goods are also traveling by freighter, and some of those ships are 1,000 feet long. In this episode of the Lake Superior Podcast, Walt Lindala and Frida Waara talk with Sam Hankinson, Development Coordinator at the Port of Monroe about the health of Great Lakes shipping and how we can learn more about what's cruising out on the water.Key Takeaways: Great Lakes vessels can haul as much cargo in one trip as hundreds of rail cars or thousands of trucks, showcasing their efficiency and importance. The seasonality of Great Lakes shipping includes winter layup for maintenance and upkeep, ensuring the reliability of vessels during the active shipping season. Despite the age of some ships, proper maintenance and care can prolong their lifespan, highlighting the durability of vessels in freshwater environments. The tight-knit maritime community of the Great Lakes region comes together in times of need, exemplified by the prompt and collaborative response to maritime incidents. Resources such as the Marine Traffic app provide real-time vessel tracking, allowing enthusiasts and observers to monitor ship movements and identify passing vessels.Notable Quotes: "These vessels are carrying the iron ore that's going into steelmaking… They're doing everything. They're carrying the building blocks of America." "These ships exist to move cargo, people make their livelihoods on the Great Lakes… when stuff goes wrong and people are in danger, our industry stands up, our community stands up." "The winter layup period is a very important time… to prepare vessels for the next season and the seasons beyond." "When you start tracking them, you will get it down to a science of how far away they are, when they're going to show up, and when the next one will be coming by." "There is nothing wrong with traveling to a place like Duluth, Marquette, or Sault Ste. Marie… just sitting down by the water and waiting for the boats to go by and enjoying it at your own speed."Resources:National Parks of Lake Superior FoundationMarine Traffic appDon't miss out on the captivating insights and stories shared in this episode of the Lake Superior podcast.

The Mackinac Bridge lacks modern protections around its piers in the Straits of Mackinac, making it vulnerable if a freighter veered off course as happened recently in Baltimore. In response to this question, a representative from the Michigan Department of Transportation sent this statement: "The investigation into the tragedy in Baltimore continues, and appears to be focused on what caused the ship to lose power and veer so far off course. For now, our interest is concentrated on the findings of that investigation, what steps are being taken by the maritime shipping industry and safety agencies to reduce shipping hazards to bridges, including the Mackinac, and guidance for what mitigations are possible."
