Join Carlos, Matt, Nev and Armando (on tape) for this week's programme. In this week's show a passenger tries to take up piloting by attempting to break into the flight deck, the E190 gets special clearance into London City, and a 100 year old man logs some Sim time. In the military we have a lot of news from the US Air Force as the begin evaluating electric aircraft for medical ejaculation missions, they retire the last OC-135 treaty verification aircraft, and they abandon plans to replace their fleet of 757 (or C-32) VIP aircraft while the US Navy conducts the first air-to-air refuelling from an unmanned to a manned aircraft. Continuing on from last week, Armando talks to Lt. Col. Ivan Deroche of the 403rd Wing 53rd Weather Reconnaissance Squadron about active storm reconnaissance or hurricane hunting in the WC130J.
