We have a good friend of ours on who is a banner tow company owner, instructor specializing in tailwheel training, and and master CFI. He is always entertaining and should be a lot of fun. We also have our retired air traffic controller from our first show helping to guest host and we will have a DAR giving us the latest news on LSA conversions. This show will be to hours again this week and starts at 9:00 AM eastern time. We will also have some free giveaways for callers starting this week. We have had about 2,000 new web site hits since AOPA gave us a story in their EPilot email so we should have a bunch of listeners and people calling in this week.
