One thing is missing from this show.............Jim.  Listen carefully as Al and Tony discuss the pros and cons of this concept.

Enjoy the show and keep those cards and letters coming!

aviation frivolity in this, first of three espisodes that were recorded at the Arlington Fly-In held in northwest Washington State.  We gathered on the

flight line as the aircraft passed by just a few short feet away.  of course, in true northwest fashion...it was raining.
