Episode 270 - The One Where Matt Forgot to Press Post!

Join Carlos, Nev Armando and Matt for this 'released later than planned' episode.

In this week's show we learn that our favourite low cost airline pushes back their MAX orders, our other favourite low cost airline boast that their A321 NEO's are the ultimate flying machines and we discover that the freighter conversion market totalled neary 1 billion dollars in 2018.

In the military we learn that an F16 fighter crashes into a warehouse and a lack of 'Situational Awareness' is blamed for a recent C130-J incident.

We talk Concorde in our latest interview from our Duxford 2019 meet up and we share with you our experiences from APG's Captain Nick's retirement dinner.
