Join Carlos, Matt and Armando for this weeks' show.
In this week's programme we learn one passenger hacked an airline's website to find their missing suitcase, we have a roundup of the aviation April Fool offerings and we read the shocking story of a pilot who lied about their flying experience.
In the military, the Air Force's latest budget proposal indicates some changes afoot, a US Navy Hawkeye goes down off the coast of Virginia; and some military assets are repositioned to Mainland Europe after a Norwegian military exercise. Here are the links to the stories we featured this week :
