Join Carlos, Matt, Nev, Armando and returning for an evening of chaos it's Matt & Andy from the A320 Podcast!
In this week's show we look at very fancy food, a cat attacks a
pilot, and a welsh couple pull an Airbus A320.
In the military planes and boats meet as the US Marines end their
many years of Hornets at sea while American F-35s work aboard an
Italian Navy ship. A contract fighter plane for the US Military
experiences a mishap at Tyndall Air Force Base in Florida, and
Boeing's new T-7 Redhawk goes into production with a salute to the
Tuskegee Airmen.
A new series of Plane Truths begins, Armando shares with us some
exciting news about Oshkosh and in this week's 'In Conversation
With', Nick is finding out about George's move from the Military to
flying the 747.
