About this episode
Join Carlos (yes, he's back!), Nev, Armando and Matt for today's programme. In this episode we find all about the Russian 'Miracle in the Cornfield', moronic passengers are at it again thanks to the booze and we learn that one Norwegian carrier has decided to end their transatlantic routes. In the Military there a very emotional moment as an american carrier's pilot flies his Vietnam Dad home and there's good news for the C130's as the majority return to service. Carlos takes a trip to Bristol to visit their Aerospace Museum. All the details you need are available via their website - http://aerospacebristol.org/.
