## Resource

In this episode, we kick things off with the latest updates in space weather and aviation news, covering the stories, forecasts, and developments shaping the skies this week — from solar activity and its possible impacts on communications and aurora viewing, to the latest headlines from across the aviation world. We then head into a special extended interview with Trevor Graham, the Flying Director at Midlands Air Festival. Trevor gives us an inside look at what it takes to organise one of the UK’s most exciting aviation festivals, from coordinating complex flying displays and managing safety operations to working with pilots, display teams, and event organisers behind the scenes. We also discuss what visitors can expect from this year’s event, the challenges involved in putting together a world-class flying programme, and Trevor’s own experiences in the aviation industry. Whether you’re an aviation enthusiast, an airshow regular, or simply curious about how these incredible displays come together, this interview offers a fascinating behind-the-scenes perspective on the passion, planning, and precision that keep the skies alive at Midlands Air Festival. To wrap up the show, we bring you the latest Take Off Thursday announcements and updates, including what’s coming next for the community and the podcast. Strap in and enjoy the episode!
