About this episode
Join Carlos, Nev and Armando for this week's programme. In this week's show a British airline makes the move to Airbus, a US airline makes its seats even smaller, and Virgin Atlantic make things all cosy on their A350's - Q the Patreon music! In the military, the UK sticks to its plan of retiring the venerable C-130 despite its great legacy, Qatar receives some new F-15s, the Nigerian Air Force operationalises its Super Tucanos and you too could own your own Air Force base in Canada.
