Join Carlos, Matt, Nev and Armando for this week's programme. They're joined by special guests Ian and Jason from the AvTalk Podcast from Flightradar24. Every avgeek has used Flightradar24 but did you know they've got a great podcast?! We spoke to the hosts Ian & Jason and got to know a little bit about their stories. There was also our usual round up of Commercial and Military stories that peaked our interest this week and Captain Al chatted with Matt about transitioning from First officer to becoming a Captain.
