History
In June of 2006, the city of Jacksonville, Florida passed an ordinance making it illegal for citizens to work on any type of aircraft at their home[1]. Since the law specifically targeted owners and builders of aircraft, EAA Chapter 193 President, Milford Shirley and chapter members in addition to help from EAA Chapter 1379 members challenged the ordinance. His efforts to repeal the discriminatory law was successful in October of 2007 when the City Council voted unanimously to remove the law[2].
In a radio interview during the repeal process, it was suggested to Mr. Shirley that a talk radio program about the fun and joy of flying, covering all aspects of aviation would serve the community well.
On January 5, 2008, FlightTime Radio produced it's first live broadcast from the studios of WBOB AM1320. Since the first show, the program has aired “Live” every Saturday morning. The programming is now available through many PodCast outlets such as iTunes, the FlightTime Radio Show PodCast site and others. The FlightTime Radio Show is also available 4 times each day, 7 days per week on the worlds only 24 hour internet aviation radio station, Flight Line Internet Radio. The show is known for doing "Live" remote broadcasts in support of aviation events. Recently, the show was invited to broadcast from the Smithsonian Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center during the National Air and Space Museum's annual father's day "Learn to Fly" celebration.
The FlightTime Radio Show is thought to be the only “Live” over-the-air aviation broadcast in the world. Show sponsors include the Piper Aircraft Company among others.
