    May 17 2024

    Join us for another evening of aviation fun! Lots of news to get through presented by your favourite podcast hosts 😜

    In this week's show we're taking a much needed rest from Boeing news, we have a cargo plane taking a nose dive, Heathrow is breaking records, a passenger gets in hot water, and over in America they're looking to Korea for "doomsday".

    In the military we have a huge amphibious plane, and the King is handing over his military leadership.

  • Episode 501 - Inappropriate Show Titles
    May 10 2024

    Join us for another evening of aviation fun! Lots of news to get through presented by your favourite podcast hosts 😜

    In this week's show we have the latest Boeing shenanigans, a returning regular Ryanair round-up, more on GPS jamming, and plenty of Airbus content to keep Andy happy!

    We have a story about the passing of aviation legend Dirk Rutan and contrary to popular belief (and because Nev's not here this week) we've got a bunch of military goings-on as well!

    We're a little down on numbers this week; Nev's off somewhere in 1A, Armando's off somewhere at Flight Level four-three-zero, and Carlos has been exiled to Malta! So we're back with the reprobate crew, and first to join us is our newest member of the team, it's Captain Andy!

    And over on the subs bench, it's Nik

  • Episode 500 - Sim Ups and Downs
    May 4 2024

    It's the 500th Simulator Special!


    Well here we are! We finally made it. All the crew have been fully type-rated and signed off, paperwork has been checked, we've done our walk-around. Weight and balance checks are complete, all the waypoints are in the FMC, performance calcs verified, the ground run-ups have been done. We're pushing back and getting ourselves ready to line up on runway FIVE ZERO ZERO! Finally, here we are ready for take-off, on our great PTUK milestone.

    It feels like this has been quite a while coming, and it's a big milestone for us to reach. Our podcast began way back on the 6th of November 2013 and since then the team has changed and grown, and we've been lucky enough become part of a wonderful aviation podcasting community, with friends all across the globe. We've done some amazing things, with highlights such as Wings over Pittsburgh in 2017, the Dubai Airshow in 2019 and not forgetting our 400th get-together at Brooklands. We've met some real aviation celebrities, and taken part in some wonderful events.

    Our amazing support from you, our fabulous listeners, has allowed us to grown and continue, so it is with great pleasure that I present to you the PTUK team, and welcome you all onboard tonight for our terrific episode 500!
