Join, Carlos, Matt, Nev and Armando for this week's programme.
In this week's show one low cost airline gets its sizes wrong,
Delta gets classy in first class & one passenger gets to sit on the
flight deck "In flight"
In the military we have a couple emergency landings in the USAF, we
watch an RAF Chinook deliver a large radar on top of Gibraltar, and
we think the SU-57 may have been deployed on its first combat
deployment in Ukraine.
Here are the links to the stories we featured this week :
