Join Carlos, Armando, Matt, Major Rick and Micah (from the Airplane Geeks - www.airplanegeeks.com) for this week's PTUK Aviation Podcast recording. In this week's Grey Stuff special we learn that the A10 will continue flying until 2040, RAF Typhoons conduct exercises with the US B1B Lancer and the first Osprey arrives in Japan. In the commercial news some airlines announce their intentions to return to the skies, Jet Blue's New York flypast draws criticism and the UK's Quarantine scenario draws contempt from airline and crew circles. We also take another trip down memory lane as Nev delves back into the airshow archives with some highlights.

Join Carlos, Nev, Matt and Captain Al for this week's show. In today's show we hear of sad news as Virgin pull out of Gatwick but someone is already eyeing up some of their slots, even in lock-down there are still fights breaking out on one low cost carrier in the states and there's another accidental discharge this time in a BA hangar. In the military VE celebrations take place despite these unusual conditions and the Leidos-led team pitches Bronco II to Special Operations Command. Nina shares with us the poem she wrote that was doing the rounds on social media and there's more memories from Nev with some of the great meetups we've had. We'd love to hear from you, please let us know how you're surviving during lock-down, send us a message via email on podcast@planetalkinguk.com or via WhatsApp on +447572249166.
