In this week's show we interview a listener of the show and 747 Freighter Captain, John Jester.
In the commercial News we play with some aviation Lego, we take
a look at a super jumbo hotel & we also check out the mile high
club.
In the military, we'll take a look at the security situation (from
an airplane perspective) in Europe; French aircraft manufacturer
Dassault (Dah-sew) lands another big order; a local Japanese
prefecture isn't too fond of the Osprey; and a Blackhawk helicopter
flies with no-one on board for the first time.
Here are the links to the stories we featured this week :
