In this week's show: Alaska Airlines secures slots for Heathrow launch; someone experiments whether ChatGPT can land an Airbus A320 after telling it both pilots are missing; and KLM retires its first Boeing 737 aircraft after 25 years of operations.

In the military: There are massive new campsite plans for RIAT 2026 near RAF Fairford and a Damaged B-2 stealth bomber returns to frontline duty after a four-year repair from landing gear collapse.

We'll have the usual Retro Airline Ad of the Week as well as a reminder of the excellent competition that Allan Whyte has set for you all.

Nev will also give us an update on the plans for the 600th show in May of next year. Spaces are running out quickly, so be sure to let us know if you would like to attend. More news on how to do that later in the show.

A whole lot of aviation news from the UK and from around the world to get through tonight. Join the hosts as they discuss the latest industry events and news. Have your say and shape the conversation of the show through our LIVE chatroom.

In this week's show: A Boeing 737 flies at 37,000 feet with a door handle sticking out; 8 passengers on an SAS flight were taken to hospital after a fire in the cabin (not a lithium-ion battery surely!) and we take a look at the UK's latest Government proposals to finally build a third runway at Heathrow.

In the military: Boeing secures a $877m MH-47G helicopter order from the US Special Operations Command; and the New Zealand Air Force signs a contract for 2 A321XLR strategic transport aircraft.

We'll have the results of our competition as well as the latest news of our 600th show preparations for May of next year.

And of course, no show would be complete without a Retro Airline Ad of the Week video to play you. This week we travel back to the 1980's with good old BA.
