"Among Friends" UCAP131

The entire UCAP Gang is on the ground at the 2009 Sun 'n Fun Fly-In this week. They've gotten together with a bunch of their friends for some actual, face-to-face hangar flying. They talk about some of the airplanes they've seen so far... some new avionics that everyone seems to be excited about... and to ponder the difference between a Kitfox and a Boeing 767. All this and more on Uncontrolled Airspace, Episode #131 "Among Friends"
