Join Carlos, Nev, Matt and Captain Al for this episode.

In this week's show one passenger has his very own triple 7 all to himself (with snacks), An A380 does some fancy flying, & a new US airline chooses the Boeing 757 as its aircraft of choice. In the military we celebrate the life and accomplishments of Tuskegee Airman General Charles McGee, the KC-46 is finally (mostly) operational, and the Imperial War Museum at Duxford presents an impressive display of Spitfires
