Episode 328 – A World First!

Join Carlos, Armando and Matt for this week's episode of the UK's number one Aviation Podcast.

In this week's show a Flying club in Norfolk aims launches a new course to get old aviation off the ground, there's a world first coming out of Dubai as FREE COVID medical cover is offered by one airline and we're 'Going Green' with an Eco-Demonstrator and a 70 seater hybrid.

In the military we're keeping with the green theme and we explore the possibility of a battery powered fighter jet and a cow gets stuck in a Riverbank.

Matt & Carlos talk about their time at the Shuttleworth Airshow last weekend. Nev brings us one of his favourite segments from Gibralter ATC and Armando has got some exciting military news lined up.
