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

In this week's show one low cost airline gets its sizes wrong, Delta gets classy in first class & one passenger gets to sit on the flight deck "In flight" In the military we have a couple emergency landings in the USAF, we watch an RAF Chinook deliver a large radar on top of Gibraltar, and we think the SU-57 may have been deployed on its first combat deployment in Ukraine.

Here are the links to the stories we featured this week :
