In this episode, Rain discusses various aviation incidents, including the 25th anniversary of the F-117 Night Hawk incident, United Airlines mishaps, and downsizing in the Air Force. He also covers the indictment of John Travolta's pilots, the importance of checking TFRs during election season, and the F-35 engine review delay. Other topics include the recognition of an F-16 pilot, an Army intelligence NCO arrested for spying, and the YAP Airfield expansion. Rain also touches on the Hong Kong security law, Chinese warplanes near US air defense zones, a former British woman's bid for citizenship being denied, the Ghar Daur Port attack in Pakistan, and the continuation of the Gaza conflict.
