With even Light Sport Aircraft becoming expensive, many people are fearing that their dreams of flight are going to be only dreams. Not to fear. Eldon Corry will join us to talk about how "cooperative ownership" is helping people join together to own and fly the airplanes they want. LetsFly (3/7/06)
