Fair warning: User fees have reared their ugly head again this week. The boys stray from that into a discussion of real and imagined improvements to the airspace system. They check in on a really cool playground... note the progress on Wittman Field's new control tower... and remember a pair of legends. All this and more, on Uncontrolled Airspace, Episode #30, "Playgrounds Are Better Now."
