UltraFlight Radio can now be found live on Tuesday mornings right here on the web at www.ultraflightradio.com at 10:00am Eastern Standard Time and 7:00am Pacific Time. But you don't have to hear it live to hear it.
You can also hear (previous shows) at the show archive. We make it convenient for you.
To be a part of the show and you are in the U.S., you can call toll-free: 1-866-613-1612. If you are somewhere that the toll-free number does not work, you can reach us at 1-858-268-3068. Another (often better) way to get questions to us is by E-mail. You can write Roy at roy@easyflight.com
Michael West, Transportation Security Administration, General Aviation Program

Bill Fortney, America From 500 Feet
Bill Fortney, the Author of "America From 500 Feet", is working on his next book, "America From 500 Feet II" For this effort he's using powered parachutes instead of trikes and is photographing completely different types of aerial views. Bill tells us about the project and a photo contest Nikon and UltraFlight are putting together for Sun 'n Fun. America From 500 Feet II
Greg Gremminger, Popular Rotorcraft Association/Magni USA
There are those that believe that all gyros just are not stable aircraft. Greg Gremminger meets this myth straight on and gives us the history why gyros have that reputation and why not all aircraft in the category should be painted with the same brush. Popular Rotorcraft Association, Magni USA
Bever & Kim Borne, Air-Tech, Inc.
Sun 'n Fun is coming up and so is float plane season. Bever talks about float operations during Sun 'n Fun and how you can be a part of them. If you have questions while the show is live, IM them in on Yahoo Instant Messenger to UFRadio. Roy@EasyFlight.com is the address you can use to E-mail those questions in, if that's the way you prefer to communicate. Air-Tech, Inc.
Jim Sweeney, SweeneyCorp, NAPPF Board Member
One of the joys of flying is flying with others at fly-ins. The congestion at almost any fly-in means that organizers have rules, briefings, and procedures that should be followed during the event. The safety rules shouldn't discourage you from attending a fly-in and knowing what to expect ahead of time will actually make fly-ins more fun. Jim Sweeney goes over things you can expect to see at fly-ins that you wouldn't normally experience flying around the home patch. SweeneyCorp, NAPPF
Ouri Kahn, Powered Paragators Of Florida
The longest running large powered paraglider fly-in happens in Florida in a couple of weeks. The event attracts a large number of pilots and manufacturers. This year it has been moved to a new location in South Florida. Ouri Kahn joins us to tell us all about it. Powered Paragators Of Florida.
Remember, if you have any questions you want to ask the guests or you have any of your own comments about a topic, please call the show toll free when we're live at (866) 613-1612. If you have a show idea or know someone that would be a guest on the show (that could be you!) Contact Roy.
Hope you get a chance to listen in!

Jim Sweeney, SweeneyCorp, NAPPF Board Member
Often times student pilots head out to the airport for a little flight training only to get weathered out for some reason. If that happens, an opportunity presents itself for the all-important and often ignored ground training. Jim talks to us about things both flight instructors and students should know and be prepared for. SweeneyCorp, NAPPF (3/27/07)


Scott Lewis, Sunstate Wing & Rotor Club
The annual Bensen Days gyroplane event is coming up again in Wauchula, Florida.
