Description

Join Carlos, Matt, and Nev for this week's show! During some recent filming with the A320 guys in a Simulator in Cambridge Matt and Andy put Nev through his paces with a single engine failure during take-off. You can take a look at how he got on here : https://youtu.be/kJKZWL8uNkU In today's show there's an incident in Spain involving everyone's favourite UK legacy carrier in the same week they sell off the family silver, one airline is offering a free layover hotel if you fly with them and it's time to get comfortable as one German carrier offers lay-flat beds in economy. In the military we get an update on the Fatal F-16CM Crash at Shaw AFB and the Italian Army says goodbye to their faithful Huey's. It's the final part of our chat with Neil Cloughley of Faradair and in this week's Plane Truth Tony S has his question answered by Captain Al.
