Episode 243 - Cirrus Friends go Flying

Join Carlos, Nev and Matt as they look through this week's big aviation stories.

In today's episode we talk about the poor passengers who's bags were left behind by one Asian carrier, a low cost carrier's website causes chaos as people can't check-in online and the FAA evaluates a potential design flaw in one airframe manufacturer's new craft.

In the military an ex-RAF Hercules finds a new home and the UK confirms it's interest in some new F35-B's.
