Join Carlos, Matt, Nev and Armando for the show this week. Rebecca Dean is with us to talk about her time as a VIP Flight Attendant.
In the commercial news BA say goodbye to their baby bus, we see
the arrival of a new low cost airline & we take at a look at a
shiny new airbus cabin.
In the military a Black Hawk is down and French jets cut power to a
whole village by flying too low.
George Lee MBE talks to Nick about various brushes with the Royals and Armando tells us more about his recent visit to Basler Turbo Conversions.
