Episode 301 - The Best Seat In The House (Seat 1A)

Jan 19, 2020

Join Carlos, Nev, Armando, Vinod and Geoff for this week's programme.

In today's episode we learn the British government have a lot of questions to answer as they rescue one UK based airline, everyone's favourite low cost company celebrates becoming Europe's biggest airline and an 18 year old becomes Britain's youngest commercial pilot.

In the military we learn why combat pilots love the supercharged F15EX so much and the RAF look to launching a fleet of 'Swarming Drones' in april.

In part 3 of Nick's interview with John Hutchinson, they talk about his highlights during his military career and we share some vox pops from Heathrow after our 300th episode.
