Default The Turbinator to be featured on WCIA TV

I was contacted today by downstate Illinois's largest TV station, WCIA , to do a feature story about my helicopter. It was easy for them to find out who was flying that helicopter one day as I passed nearby. A few phone calls and they found me. Hannah Brewer has a show where she goes all over central Illinois and tapes oudoor hobbies. The show is called CI Outdoors and is very popular. They are coming up to tape my Turbinator in the hanger, and outside starting it up and flying it. I am so glad my fairings are on and they will have the "Turbinator" decals applied. I will post a link to the show after it airs. Stan

Are you sure it is not an investigating report about the guy who is responsible for several people freezing to death because of the severe shortage of kerosine last winter?

Hi Tim
I was going to ask him to plug PRA and the Forum. But, then I remembered Stan always does say to learn more go to PRA's website and the Forum when he has been on the air or print.

Stan you are becoming 'infamous' or is it famous? It is one of those for sure... I'll blame Dyslexia. Hehehe
