Join Matt, Nev and Captain Nick for this week's programme. In this week's show we learn about the unique way a passenger attempted to board their closed flight, A London(!) Airport shrugs off a base closure and insects ground three flights for the UK's Flag Carrier. In the military the US Air Force takes a stab at landing some A-10s and Dornier 328s on a public highway; the Luftwaffe wows crowds in Michigan with the A400M; and the Carolinas Aviation Museum gets a big boost from Defence-aerospace company Honeywell to reopen the museum in 2023 featuring Sully's legendary Airbus A320 that landed on the Hudson River in New York. Nev and Nick also tease a great interview that we're looking forward to share with you towards the end of September with Mike Wildeman from the 'Team Phoenix' project.
