Senior Pentagon Editor Amy Butler, Senior Technology Editor Graham Warwick and International Editor Robert Wall get together in this week's Check 6 podcast to talk about:

The latest machinations in the international fighter market, from Denmark, to Switzerland, to Korea and Kuwait.

Then we reflect on what our friend Bill Garvey, the editor of Business & Commercial Aviation and Aviation Week’s deputy managing editor for bizav has found out at this year’s NBAA show.

And lastly we discuss Graham’s magnum opus on innovation due out in Monday’s issue of Aviation Week & Space Technology. What we and our readers like: GPS; what we and our readers don’t like: in-flight cell phones; and what Graham doesn’t like: Concorde, Concorde, Concorde.

We closed with our missed approaches, including one kindly left behind on last week’s Check 6 Ares post by a loyal listener.
