Join Carlos, Matt, Armando and a special guest for today's
programme.
In this week's show Exeter's old Flybe base has some new residents,
an airline in Asia goes gender neutral with their passenger
greetings and Paramedics in the Lake District begin tests with
their new Emergency Vehicle.
In the military a US Marine Corps KC-135 and an F-35 collide during
air-to-air refuelling and in Paris, a sonic boom brings the city to
a halt.
It's the last part of Nicks chat with Ian Palmer this week and we
talk to Gemma Brazier about her time as cabin crew and an exciting
new project she's been working on to help fellow crew during
literally the worst year for aviation!
