Episode 365 - Astronaut Michael Collins Flies West

Join Carlos, Matt, Nev and the podcasting legends that are Pilot Pip and Captain Al!

In this week's show Airbus retires its first Beluga, One airline provides its toilet users with handless doors & a man is caught taking rather alot of young birds through JFK.

In the military we find out about a sea fury crash, and Nev brings us an awesome Spitfire video.

Captain Al chats with Matt on this week's The Plane Truth where we talk about the differences between learning to fly the Boeing and the Airbus!

Nev took a well deserved Bacon Roll break at Solent Airport and took the opportunity to listen to that amazing Merlin engine in their 2-Seater Spitfire. You can find out all the information you need about grabbing an incredible flight experience here - https://www.boultbeeflightacademy.co.uk/#
