The boys get together for a very casual visit in the hangar this week. They talk about hangars they've loved... the edges of the LSA price envelope... some great color pics from WWII... and, of all things, the pros and cons of plowing snowy runways. All this and more on Uncontrolled Airspace, Episode #128 "Times of Useful Consciousness"

Recorded: Friday, March 31th, 2009
