Well, I guess what bothers me, too, is that it got past all the engineers and the test pilots and all the other folks at Boeing, except that that story that ran a couple of weeks ago, the fellow at the Seattle Times wrote Dominic Gates.

He interviewed engineers that said, look, don't use my name, but I can tell you that I told them that this was a bad idea.

And so there are just going to be, I think, a lot of lawsuits against Boeing and it's going to cost of a lot of money.

Now, last week in episode 104, we talked about how best to learn advanced avionics and a process

for upgrading the avionics in your aircraft.

So if you miss that episode, you may want to check it out.

Plus, this week, we have lots of announcements from Sun and Fun and from Arrow 2019 in

Friedrichshaf in Germany.

Plus, we'll have the unusual story of how the relationship between man and dog proved

deadly for one pilot.

All this and more, and the news starts now.

From Flying Magazine at Flyingmag.com, Piper announced two new value-priced additions to its trainer class of aircraft at the opening day of Sun and Fun.

They are the Pilot 100 and Pilot 100-I trainers.

The basic 100 includes the Garmin 3X Touch certified avionics and a standard two pilot configuration, while the instrument version,

the 100I, comes standard with the Garmin G3X touch and a GFC autopilot. The VFR Equipment

100 will enter the marketplace at $259,000.
