With the stress of not-yet-completed-holiday-shopping coloring their
every word, Dave, Jeb and Jack still squander a morning talking about
the latest GA goings-on. Dave reveals his true feelings about the
airline industry. We introduce the shiny new UCAP Listener Line.
Raytheon closes the deal to sell their aircraft operations, and what
that will mean. A small Connecticut town "responds"
to a successful emergency landing. The FAA seems ready to raise the
mandatory airline pilot retirement age, we talk about what that might
mean. We marvel at the new "dual crew license" plan. The big jet demo
teams announce their 2007 schedules. And Dave tells about the
restoration plans for "Doc".

Coming back to earth, they respond to listener Bill's questions about small plane ownership.

Shoot a Cessna in Kansas, get 20 years. Toyota Prius developer David Hermance is killed when his Interavia E-3 crashes. Brazil is still holding two US pilots, while more and more people are demanding their release.
