PROMOTING GENERAL AVIATION IN THE U.K.
(WITH FULL FLAP TV'S RICHARD MIDSON)

Richard Midson of the U.K.'s Full Flap TV took time to visit with AVweb's Mike Blakeney from Surrey, England to explain how this (and some other publicity events) came off. He also gave us an overview of GA across the pond, and (no surprise) it turns out they are facing a lot of the same challenges as pilots in the U.S.
