SMAC231 Flying Adventures, NASA Shuttle Landing Strip And More

Flying Adventures

 

Welcome to the show about learning to fly, living to fly, and loving to fly. Some of you are patiently awaiting the Spring weather to get the plane out of the hangar and start flying again. Some fly their planes south with other snowbirds and have some interesting adventures to discuss. Today we focus on recent flying adventures of our co-hosts including Tom and Carl’s recent trip flying down the runway at the NASA shuttle landing facility in Florida.
