Join Carlos, Matt, Nev, Armando and the legendary Bob Mills for this week's aviation silliness.
In this week's show the Boeing 737 Max can finally fly
passengers, Singapore airlines installs their new first class onto
all its A380's & two pilots get into trouble for drawing
non-family-show content in the sky.
In the military this week The US Air Force continues to expand
options for enlisted Airmen and some officers to seek pilot
positions and the first F/A-18C from the Blue Angels lands in
Washington for display at the Smithsonian.
