Back To The Golden Days

This week’s episode is a full-throttle ride through the skies and beyond We kick things off with a rapid-fire roundup of the latest in aviation, space, and weather news from the past week—everything from movements in the airshow scene to what’s been happening above the atmosphere, plus a look at the storm systems shaping the skies right now. Then we ease back on the throttle and drift into something more nostalgic… the golden age of airshows. Think roaring jet teams, packed crowd lines, and the kind of displays that made you stop and just feel aviation. But it’s not all rose-tinted—this episode digs into the reality of today’s display circuit and the steady decline of UK airshows, exploring what’s changed, what’s been lost, and whether there’s still hope on the horizon. To wrap it all up, we bring the energy back with Take Off Thursday – Week 11, highlighting standout aircraft, moments, or stories that deserve a spot on the runway of recognition. Whether you’re here for the news, the nostalgia, or that unmistakable sound of jet engines in your imagination, this episode’s got you covered. Strap in.
