Episode 306 - Gold Status Dreams

Join Carlos, Nev, Armando (via video) and Matt for this weeks episode.

In today's show we learn that a technical failure triggered more than 100 cancellations at Heathrow, everyone's favourite low cost airline is in trouble with the EU for having an unfair advantage in spain and a New York flight makes an emergency landing at Heathrow resulting in a passenger being detained.

In the military, a new unmanned aircraft capable of staying airborne for up to ONE YEAR makes it maiden flight. Also, if you live in Hawaii, your life just got a little better because you have the chance to fly in a P-51 Mustang.

And in everyone's favourite series - Captain John Hutchinson talks to Nick about Concorde's radiation levels and dispels a few of those infamous rumours about queue jumping! Here are the links to the stories we featured this week :
