In this week's show: 'No more turbulence' as Emirates makes a major change to reduce risk of bumpy flights; Ryanair begin hiring pilots for their 737 MAX-10 deliveries and we'll be discussing the tragic accident of the UPS MD-11 that crashed in Louisville yesterday.

In the military: The US Air Force says it needs 1500 more fighters to meet future threats .
We'll have the usual retro airline ad of the week segment and we will have more details of our 600th show which is taking place on Friday 22nd May next year.

In this week's show: The regional operator Eastern Airways ceases flying as they appoint an administrator;  US airports report over 20 air traffic controller shortage incidents in just one day; and Ryanair issues an urgent warning to all passengers over new boarding pass rules from November.
 
In the military: Turkey finalises a deal to acquire 12 ex-Royal Air Force C-130J tactical transport aircraft; and 'bad fuel" may have caused recent back-to-back Nimitz aircraft crashes.
 
We have the last part of the interview with Alan Munro – this is a really good one we have to say and we think you'll enjoy more of Alan's anecdotes from when he was in the RAF and then into the world of civilian flying.
 
 We also have an exciting announcement to make regarding where and when our 600th show is going to be. That's going to be coming up at the end of the show, so stay tuned!

Join the hosts as they take you through all the news from around the world and across the UK. 

In this week's show: We discuss the Robinson R44 helicopter accident on the Isle of Wight; Korean Air strikes a £37bn deal to buy over 100 Boeing aircraft; and  Qantas is to prevent pilots having beards over safety concerns.
  
In the military: SAAB has received Gripen Type E and F Order for Thailand; and the USAF picks Red 6 Augmented Reality System to train F-16 pilots against virtual enemies. 
  
Also in the show this week, Matt and Nev visited Shoreham on the south coast of England on the 10th year anniversary of the air show accident - Matt speaks with Jonathan Warner who was at the roadside on the day that the Hawker Hunter crashed. It's quite a harrowing account.
  
Our intrepid reporter Captain Al brings us another one of his interviews from Oshkosh 2025 and this time we have let him loose to discuss a commercial airliner – the McDonnell Douglas DC-8. In fact the last one that was on the US register. Well, at least it's not grey!
