Episode 311 - Meat Free Monday

Join Carlos, Nev, Armando, David and Matt for this episode.

In this week's programme we give you a quick summary of the impact the 'lock down' is having on the industry, there's an accidental discharge in Los Angeles and an innovative seat design allows disabled passengers to use their own wheelchair during flight.

In the Military, The US Air Force's Air Combat Command plans to award multiple contracts for adversary aircraft and there's an update on the B17 Flying Fortress incident. Lastly, Armando makes some reading recommendations while we all have some unexpected down-time.

Nik Codling talks about Canadian repatriation from Morocco among other things and Armando throws his wife Megan out of a Cessna.
