Join Carlos, Matt and Armando for this week's programme. In this week's show Ryanair have issues with tugging, the Russians deliberately fly into volcanic ash, one airline is offering mystery flights out of a vending machine & we find out which airport in the UK is the most Haunted. In the Military there's a demonstration of allied capability and a Harrier is on a runway in the UK once again.
