An O’LearyJet!

I have spotted multiple light aircraft twisting and turning high above, but I thought they were just Leery jets, well not jets exactly, or not at all come to think of it. 
If you’re within 250km of Cognac they’re almost certainly the wonderfully noisy Pilatus PC21 turboprob trainers for the Armée de l’Air. They often fly training combat missions where they do, indeed, twist and turn. They normally stay overhead for about 30 minutes before whizzing off to bother some other poor souls! They typically fly at an altitude of between 5000 and 12000 feet agl, so the noise travels quite a long way.
That’s the ones, from Cognac with nowhere to go, according to the info. 
if they start dropping bombs, hide under the table.
A very good plan as my table is more than 60% covered with, albeit necessary, junk and would make a fine replacement for the 1 foot thick earth and grass covering of our air raid shelter back in Nottingham. Of course I would have to rapidly find some more important junk to fill the small gap allowed for one plate, one glass, and one bottle. 
Good news.
I am somewhat surprised that airlines are allowed to do cabotarge, which for the unitiated, is loading and delivering within a country other than the one of their registration. I see plenty of Ryanairs flying directly beween French cities for instance.
Maybe it is a term only used in the road haulage industry which, even before Brexit was allowed, but limited I think.
I can’t undersand the part about charging for passengers accompanying handicapoed people. IF the tickets are booked at the same time, the seating map automatically hughlights a seat next to the handicapped person wuth no charge. If you book separately, however, it doesn’t.
