• Episode 547 - Single Ops and Purchase Delays

  Join the hosts as they take you through all the news from around the world and across the UK.  In this week's show we look at the somewhat outrageous story that airlines across Europe could be operating flights with just one pilot at the controls by 2030 – yes you did hear that correctly!   We talk about further delays to the launch of the Wizz Air A321XLR service and a second instance of cocaine being found on board a British Airways aircraft – all the gear and no idea clearly.    In the military, the RAF tells us that the UKs F-35 Lightning force is ready for full operational capability on major international deployment and the USAF F-16s fire live missiles over the UK in Europe's largest combat readiness drill.    And of course we have the ever popular Retro Airline Ad of the Week – this time, we're going back to the 1980's for some T-tail action!
