Episode 277 - Sneaky First Class?

Your hosts this week are Carlos, Nev, Armando and Matt.

In today's programme we listen to the ATC communications between two airlines at Amsterdam as they 'come together' on the ground, we watch the amazing footage a passenger took of an engine problem with an american carrier and there's some concerns over some older A380's and the Outer Rear Wing Spar.

In the Military the Canadians take their maiden C295 flight and a swiss display team visit the wrong festival.
