Episode 451 - It's all about the 'Boing'

Apr 9, 2023

Join Carlos, Matt, and Nev for this week's episode.

In this week's show the Boeing 767 is back on the menu, Ryanair is forced to dig deeper into its wallet and a pilot attempts a remake of the film "snakes on a plane".
  
It's all good news in the military this week as we bring you some opportunities to attend a Bomber Camp, visit the new Amelia Earhart Museum, and the Sywell Aviation Museum opens for the year.
