Episode 299 - The one before the 300th

Join Carlos, Nev and Matt for the first live show of a new decade.

In today's episode we discover that the luck ran out for one passenger and their superstition, everyone's favourite low cost carrier don't have the response they hoped for with their latest hashtag and an empty A321 does an impressive pirouette at a Canadian airport.

In the military, Carlos's Airwolf dream looks like it could become a reality with a new helicopter that bears a striking resemblance to the iconic aircraft and we learn that the new Top Gun film opted for some impressive live action flying over CGI.

We return to Dubai with Carlos and Nev for a great chat with Boeing's head of marketing Randy Tinseth and we learn about the new remote tugs at Heathrow's Terminal 5 made by Mototok.
