| From the Ground Up...the first incarnation. |
| I learned to fly by trading commercial time at a radio station where I was working for flight instruction. Out trade arrangement meant that my lessons were occasional and sporadic, due to inclement weather and the availability of the airplane. Thus, because I lacked material to write and report, the air times for the commercial also failed to find a regular schedule for air play. |
| For a couple of weeks, at the beginning and again at the end of the radio schedule, the commercials ran twice a day, during the noon hour and again shortly after five in the afternoon. The spots each ran two minutes, and were tagged with a plug: For more information, call (the local FBO) and gave the phone number. |
| Despite the irregularity of the radio schedule, the series generated significant response, both visibility for the FBO itself and for new students for flight instruction. |
| Here is a sampling of those spots, both audio and text versions. The background music is from Craig Chaquico's disc Acoustic Highway and is entitled, appropriately, "Return of the Eagle". |
