Yes, it’s true! Whenever you see a small airplane flying overhead, there's a good chance the pilot isn't talking to Air Traffic Control. That means there's nobody directing them around, with zero radar guidance. Don't they get lost? How do they avoid other aircraft? We revealed in Episode 5 that most of the country's 5000 airports don't have control towers. In this episode, we'll explain just how far you can go without ever saying a word.
