Join Carlos, Matt, Nev and Armando for this week's episode of PTUK, the UK's Number 1 Aviation Podcast!

In this week's show a passenger on everyone's favourite low cost airline flies to the Ukraine instead of Spain, there's a surprise announcement as a UK airline is resurrected and there's a new life for one of BA's 747s. In the military the legendary F-117 Nighthawk continues to fly regular training missions, Australian F-35s are declared "operational", and Boeing's "Loyal Wingman" unmanned fighter aircraft is nearing its maiden flight. And It's our final part of our chat with Dan Holley about his fascinating hobby of storm chasing.
