John Horst, U.S. Department of Energy
Students from North Carolina State University glided into first place at Energy Challenge 03 as they flew a paper glider from the top of an 80-foot dune at Nags Head, North Carolina. Ten collegiate teams took to the skies and attempted three hang gliding flights each with wings they designed and constructed from paper materials, including corrugated paperboard or linerboard. John Horst tells about this year's Energy Challenge. www.ipst.edu/energy_challenge (4/29/03)
Randy Hansen, EAA
Even members of the U.S. House of Representatives call the Meigs Airport closure "unprecedented," "illegal," and "outrageous". Randy joins us to give us an update on this travesty against all aviation. www.eaa.org and www.friendsofmeigs.org/ (4/29/03)
Malcolm Jones, Wallaby Ranch
