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".

The UCAP gang are a little punchy on this Sunday morning. But the podcast must go on. They announce the new UCAP blog. After surviving a minor technical snafu they wade into the latest news on the Brazilian midair collision and and its after-effects. They dream about Boeing Business Jets. Coming back to earth, they respond to listener Bill's questions about small plane ownership. Jeb says hi to his buddies in the DC Pilots group on Yahoo, and Dave tells about discovering a different kind of flight.

In what we thought was a slow news week, the UCAP gang managed our longest episode yet. Winter weather and things to keep in mind when flying this time of year. Raytheon is looking to sell its GA division, and what that might mean. Cessna is up to a lot of interesting stuff. UCAP gets mentioned in a Macintosh podcast, and in Captain Rod's blog. 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.

On Uncontrolled Airspace #7, Dave, Jeb and Jack welcome Amy Laboda to the virtual hangar. Amy is the Editor in Chief of Aviation for Women Magazine, and is joining us on the podcast for the first time.
Dave is the guest on the current edition of the Airspeed podcast. We talk about some of the highlights from the recent AOPA Expo. The importance, and satisfaction, of being a pilot mentor as part of AOPA's Project Pilot program. Overall the state of the GA nation appears to be very good, but we're still very concerned about user fees and the future of FAA funding. A wing-rock to the pilot who executed a successful forced landing in a NYC park. FAA is considering a new policy for how they do the maintenance on their equipment, and we don't like it much. EAA Chapter 225 in Rochester NH has a successful Young Eagles Rally. We talk about what's made the YE program so important. Eclipse has a blip in their test fleet. Jeb's about to get up-close-and-personal with the Honda Jet and next time he'll report to us on that. And we wish everyone a happy and safe Thanksgiving holiday. Complete Shownotes. |

Finally, after nine days in a holding pattern, here's Uncontrolled
Airspace #6. James Wynbrandt joins Jeb, Dave and Jack again. Dave tells
about his health care adventure with a happy ending. The gang compares
planes. You can now sign up for the new, episode reminder email list.
We talk about how the recent election results may affect GA. Jeb tells
about a less than satisfactory experience with ATC. Jack reads listener
email, gives a wing-rock to a fellow aviation podcast, and recalls some
fond memories. What does it cost to rent a plane these days? A quick
preview of the AOPA Expo in Palm Springs. Is the airline's age 60
retirement rule a good idea?

A little bit different this time as most of the UCAP gang is
attending the National Business Aviation Show in Orlando Florida. So we
comandeer a bunch of phone lines and internet connections to record the
show from Day Two of the three day convention. First we welcome a new
member to the UCAP gang, James Wynbrandt. We report on numerous biz jet
announcements, some large, some light, and some very fast. Not
surprisingly there was a lot of talk at NBAA about user fees. There
were some new avionics, and a big number from Eclipse. We also weigh-in
on last week's Cirrus crash in New York City. We remember some lost
friends. And we celebrate a milestone for a new aircraft.

Dave tells us of his experience attending the Bombardier Safety Stand Down. They remember Bader Field, warn about the importance of taking TFRs seriously, and give a review of the movie Flyboys.
