This week on The Lowdown, we cover some of the biggest stories in aviation and defense. The A-10 Warthogs that were stranded overseas are finally home. We take a look at the MiG-29 for our Threat of the Day. Meanwhile, the F-22 Raptor is getting a major enhancement with the new IRST (Infrared Search and Track) system, increasing its ability to detect threats passively. We also break down Boeing’s massive $1.7 billion loss and how delays in programs like the T-7 trainer, KC-46 tanker, and Air Force One are costing billions. Plus, we discuss the Tower 22 attack anniversary, the Philippines' fighter jet procurement, and a United Airlines flight that left 38 passengers injured due to extreme turbulence.
