In this episode, an Air Atlanta Boeing 747 departs from JFK, headed for Liege, Belgium with some precious cargo.

It's very common for top competition horses to be shipped by air between the United States and Europe.

While in transit, these animals are placed in compact horse stalls and cared for by highly trained equine professionals to ensure their safety.

Show notes

In this episode, we have a scary situation.
