Episode 424 - With Ben Rourke

Join Carlos, Matt and Armando for this week's show.

In this week's show a new runway opens in Ireland, KLM get grinchy & one Boeing 737 decides to lose some weight.

In the military, the Italian Armed Forces fly their new helicopter and the A321LR puts on it Gray outfit for a new mission.

We chat with Ben as he continues his Journey towards the ultimate dream.

In part 2 of the interview that we did with Patrick Elliott and Linda Walker at the Seething fly in at the start of July, the couple took their Long EZ around the world. But in order to ship it to various parts of the world, the aircraft had to be taken apart. Carlos talked to them about the challenges of doing this and the logistics that were involved.
