Episode 290 - The Inappropriate Giggles

Join Carlos, Nev, Armando and Matt for this week's programme. On today's show we discover that a date has been set for the return of the MAX into US airspace, one idiot glues himself to the top of an aircraft at London City Airport and one EU Airframe is celebrating their 1000th A320 NEO deliveries. In the military there is some amazing footage of a C17 being put through it's paces over an Australian City and test flights for the Navy's new drone get under way. Nev shares with us his recent flight on the Fokker to Antwerp.
