Are you a better pilot today!

TFTFD is a  podcast about flying. Pilot/CFI Bill Duffy talks about flying and general aviation from the perspective of a pilot and Long Island, New York based flight instructor. The show is a mix of educational topics and hanger flying style chitchat.

It was great to see a new episode form TFTFD in my feed this week.  Bill does a great job just keeping aviation in your head when you are unable to be in the plane as much as you want.  His topics are relevanant and delivered using real world experiences that every pilot can identify with.  I hope he is back to stay and look forward to many more episodes on a regular basis.

He's back!!!
