We've got some great folks lined up this week for your listening pleasure, including:

All on trikes. Mike talks about the trip and the DVD documenting it. www.trike-expeditions.com/

John joins us to talk about the 15th Annual Mason-Dixon Father's Day Ultralight Fly-In/Camp-In. This Pennsylvanian tradition brings pilots together to do things that dads really like to do. www.footlightranch.com/masondixon.html

Chuck Slusarczyk, CGS Hawk
In the wake of a tragic ultralight accident in Punta Gorda, Florida, pilot Richard Howe was quoted regarding ultralight flying that, "It's inherently unsafe.." Chuck Slusarczyk, a well know aircraft designer, joins us to dispute Richard's claim. In fact, in many situations ultralight aircraft can be shown to be far safer than other types of flying. www.cgsaviation.com/

Gary Morris, President, WPPA
Gary Morris tells us about the 3rd Annual Fly-In put on by the Wisconsin Powered Parachute Association. The WPPA's fly-in includes free-flying, demonstrations, and seminars, and more organized by association members. www.wisconsinppa.org/
