Episode 332 - This Isn't The B2 You're Looking For

Join Carlos, Matt and the King of all things Aviation Captain Jeff for this week's show. In this week's show we discover there's talk of Quanta's International services being grounded until July 2021, Wizz Air decides to take on EasyJet at Gatwick Airport and a man is arrested after driving under a taxiing aircraft. In the military, the Royal Air Force receives a high-end full motion simulator simulator for its P-8 Poseidon fleet (built in the US and transported to the UK by a Russian-made airplane) and we see even more flights of the legendary (and not so retired) F-117 Nighthawk in support of an exercise in Nevada The Microsoft Flight Sim is finally released and Producer John has been having a go and Matt talks to Captain Al and Dan Holley about Turbulence in this week's Plane Truth. Why not get involved? Our chatroom is where are wonderful community all interact and shape the conversation on the show each week. We wouldn't have such fun on the show without them.
