Join Matt, Armando and the legend that is Captain Jeff for this week's episode!

In this week's show we look at a pilot's frankly astounding save at an airshow in Reo Negro, everyone's favourite low cost airline dust off the cheque book with a HUUUGE order and a propeller strap penetrates the cabin of a Link Airways Saab 340B mid-flight.
