Welcome to the latest episode of "Lowdown" on the Afterburn podcast, where we dive into aviation and defense news. This week, we look back into a bit of recent history with iTurkey's failed coup attempt on July 15, 2016, and its impact on the F-35 program. Turkey's shift towards Russia led to its removal from the F-35 program.

We also cover the latest in aviation mishaps, including a tail strike incident involving a 777, a food poisoning scare on a Delta flight, a tragic maintenance accident on a Varesh Airlines 737, Boeing's Starliner mission, and the groundbreaking KC-46's nonstop around-the-world flight.
