Join Carlos, Armando and Matt for this week's episode of the UK's number one Aviation Podcast. In this week's show a Flying club in Norfolk aims launches a new course to get old aviation off the ground, there's a world first coming out of Dubai as FREE COVID medical cover is offered by one airline and we're 'Going Green' with an Eco-Demonstrator and a 70 seater hybrid. In the military we're keeping with the green theme and we explore the possibility of a battery powered fighter jet and a cow gets stuck in a Riverbank. Matt & Carlos talk about their time at the Shuttleworth Airshow last weekend. Nev brings us one of his favourite segments from Gibralter ATC and Armando has got some exciting military news lined up.

Flying Wild Alaska's Ariel Tweto and Reno Air Racer & Test Pilot Sean Van Hatten join Carlos, Armando and Matt for this week's episode of the UK's number one Aviation Podcast. Ariel Tweto from the wildly popular Discovery Channel TV show Flying Wild Alaska joins us on the show to talk to us about flying in Alaska, filming and producing the TV show, and her own journey to become a pilot, and life after the show. Sean Van Hatten talks to us about being a test pilot, flight instructor, aerobatic performer, and being the pilot at the controls for the first flight of the Stratos 716 light jet which is a 6-seat aircraft aimed to compete with the Cirrus Vision Jet, the Cessna Citation and other light turboprops. We take a quick sim through the big news stories of the week and in the Plane Truths with Captain Al we find out why the windows shades need to be up for take off and landing.
