E10: Under the Radar: Seeing the Country from the Air
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.
🌍 ✨✨✨ Dive into Aviation Intrigue! We connect the human experience with the wonders of flight and unravel the inner workings of everything from drones, airplanes, rockets and space vehicles! Your hosts, Gopal and Elaine, are seasoned aviators and enthusiastic educators who provide compelling storytelling and clear explanations that everyone will enjoy. We know you're curious, so join us for thrilling adventures through the skies! ✨✨✨ ✈️
