PFP # 44 Sun 'n Fun 2009 & Linda Meeks

This week is a very special episode of The Pilot's Flight Podlog. Will and David broadcast live from the deck of Sun 'n Fun Radio during the Sun 'n Fun Fly-In 2009 in Lakeland, Florida. Our guest this week is Linda Meeks, pilot and founder of Girls With Wings. We talk about the fly-in, Linda's flight experience, how to encourage new pilots, and much, much more. All this while enjoying the distraction of airplanes arriving and departing.
