We bring David Allen (from the Pilot's Flight PodLog) and Steve Tupper (from Airspeed) into the studio for a game of Aviation Trivia.  We're not talking arcane FAR/AIM minutiae—we're talking the kind of cool aviation history knowledge that any self-respecting hangar dweller should have roosting in their mental rafters!
