Dan Johnson, ByDanJohnson.com
We visit with Dan Johnson about the latest Sport Pilot Tour event which will be at the Falcon Field airport (KFFZ) just east of metro Phoenix. This is the last western visit for the Sport Pilot Tour until next winter. This is the place to look at some great airplanes, meet the manufacturers, get some test flights, and (if you happen to be from out of town) a great chance to go and enjoy the warm sunshine during the winter months.
