A fun aviation event in the U.K. caught our eye, the “Boeing 757 Challenge” – an attempt to pull an example of the huge jet with wheelchairs! Richard Midson of the U.K.’s Full Flap TV took time to visit with AVweb‘s Mike Blakeney from Surrey, England to explain how this (and some other publicity events) came off. He also gave us an overview of GA across the pond, and (no surprise) it turns out they are facing a lot of the same challenges as pilots in the U.S.
