Shirley, Co-Host Produced by The FlightTime Radio Show Original release January 5, 2008 (2008-01-05) Website flighttimeradio.com Podcast www.flighttimeradio.com/Podpage.htm **The FlightTime Radio Show** is a weekly aviation [radio program](/source/Radio_program) based in [Jacksonville](/source/Jacksonville%2C_Florida), [Florida](/source/Florida). The program delivers tips and information on all aspects of [aviation](/source/Aviation) to both pilots and non-pilots. The show features a diverse range of guests, from [WWII](/source/World_War_II) [veterans](/source/Veteran) to present-day students, pilots, and astronauts. ## History In June 2006, the city of [Jacksonville](/source/Jacksonville%2C_Florida), [Florida](/source/Florida), passed an ordinance prohibiting citizens from working on aircraft at home.[1] The law specifically targeted owners and builders of aircraft. Milford Shirley, President of [EAA](/source/Experimental_Aircraft_Association) Chapter 193, and chapter members joined forces with members of EAA Chapter 1379 to challenge the ordinance. The efforts to repeal the ordinance were successful. In October 2007, the City Council voted unanimously to remove the law.[2] In a radio interview during the repeal process, it was suggested to Mr. Shirley that a [talk radio](/source/Talk_radio) program about the fun and joy of flying, covering all aspects of aviation, would serve the community well.[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed)*] On January 5, 2008, *FlightTime Radio* produced its first live broadcast from the studios of [WBOB](/source/WBOB_(AM)) AM-1320.[3] During its time on the air, *FlightTime Radio* changed its broadcast frequency to WBOB AM-1530 and is now on WBOB AM-600, FM-100.3, and FM-107.7, covering [Northeast Florida](/source/Northeast_Florida).[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed)*] The change has considerably increased the broadcast area of the program. Since the first show, the program has aired *live* every Saturday morning. The programming is now available through many [PodCast](/source/Podcast) outlets, The *FlightTime Radio Show* is also available four times each day, seven days per week, on the world's only 24-hour internet aviation radio station, [*Flight Line Radio*](http://www.flightlineradio.com/indexb.html) [Archived](https://web.archive.org/web/20110723023433/http://www.flightlineradio.com/indexb.html) July 23, 2011, at the [Wayback Machine](/source/Wayback_Machine). The show is known for doing "live" remote broadcasts in support of aviation events. In early 2010, the show was invited to be broadcast by the [Smithsonian Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center](/source/Steven_F._Udvar-Hazy_Center) during the [National Air and Space Museum's](/source/National_Air_and_Space_Museum) annual Father's Day "Become a Pilot" celebration and was invited back for a second year in 2011.[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed)*] The hosts from the [Airplane Geeks](http://www.AirplaneGeeks.com) podcast joined Milford and Charlie for that 2011 *FlightTime Radio* live broadcast, which was incorporated into [*Airplane Geeks Episode 152*](http://www.airplanegeeks.com/2011/06/21/episode-152-become-a-pilot/). In 2010, *FlightTime Radio* introduced a new segment called *Flying Down Under.* Produced by Steve Visscher and Grant McHerron from the Plane Crazy Down Under podcast in [Australia](/source/Australia), the segment appears every two weeks and provides insight into the world of aviation in Australia.[4] The *FlightTime Radio Show* was thought at the time to be the only *live* over-the-air aviation broadcast in the world. Show sponsors include the Piper Aircraft Company, among others.[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed)*] ## References 1. **[^](#cite_ref-AMT_Society_1-0)** Danes, Lisa (January 12, 2011).
