Join Carlos, Matt, Nev and Armando for this week's
programme.
Commercial & Military Aviation news, more from Captain Al with The
Plane Truth and a whole lot of Aviation fun!
In this week's show a rather large fight breaks out onboard an
aircraft, we find out why its bad to be stressed while flying, and
a member of the royal family goes for her sim check ride.
In the military we find out about a TBM avenger that decided to go
for a swim, V22 Osprey re-designs a helicopter landing pad, and the
USAF deploys a major exercise force to Poland.
