Join Carlos, Matt and Armando for this week's programme. We were joined by special guest Rob from SkyDemon - Europe's favourite VFR flight planning software.

In this week's show Ryanair gets Maxed out, a Boeing 787 bows down before staff at London Heathrow, and one airline gives you the chance to fly on the Queen of the skies to sunny ole Mallorca . In the military The USAF has a way to convert commercial grade Jet-A fuel to military grade JP-8, Numerous aircraft land in Morocco for an exercise, the US Marines explain that they "may have" shaken California awake, and we get a quick UK Warbird update.

In the last one of this series, Captain Al talks to Matt about Weather Avoidance in the latest Plane Truths.
