Plane Talking UK Podcast

Join Carlos, Matt, Nev and Armando for an avtastic start to your weekend! If you didn't get to see our Women in Aviation Special take a look here: https://youtu.be/fyrm1oST95U​. In this week's show the lasers are back attacking pilots, a flight deck crew has a fight with cabin crew over a toilet, and an airline buys up some old BA 747 sims. In the military there maybe a new fighter in the works for 2029 , a new F15EX gets delivered and a Italian Navy's First Female Strike Fighter Pilot Earns her Wings of Gold. Captain Al talks with Matt about Callsigns in the latest Plane Truths and in the penultimate part of Captain Nick's chat with George Lee MBE we learn about flying with the famous Mr Sato of the Japanese Glider manufacturer, Baron Hilton of the Hilton family and about earning his prestigious 1000km gliding award.

In this week's show we learn all about a hard landing in Exeter, a german carrier makes plans to embark on their longest ever flight and there's finally some good news on the horizon for the MAX in Europe. In the military Australian Apaches are victorious in a helicopter competition, the 48th Fighter Wing in RAF Lakenheath looks to future challenges, and we have an update on radios stolen from the Russian Doomsday Plane.
