A new radio network devoted to aviation debuted Feb. 1.
The Aviation Radio Network broadcasts via the Internet. The network's founders also are "pursuing radio stations countrywide to carry our broadcast," said Robert Rhyne, president.
The network's first show is "This Week in Aviation," a two-hour program consisting of news, current events, technical tips, a featured aircraft, phone calls and emails, and also general aviation talk.
Rhyne, who built his first ultralight when he was 19, has logged 3,500 hours and has built seven sport aircraft. Elkins started flying at 14, flying Bonanzas with his father. He's a certified aircraft mechanic, specializing in Bonanzas. He also is a corporate and charter pilot.
With the new network, they "hope to keep listeners informed about the latest in news concerning general aviation; keep listeners up-to-date on the latest technology in the ever-expanding field of general aviation; provide a means for listeners to engage themselves and participate in our weekly broadcasts; and entertain our listeners.
