Welcome to episode 299. During my decades of volunteering with various organizations at Sun N Fun, I have been blessed with the ability to view in person Soviet Migs and have always wondered what it would be like to fly one let alone own a MIG. Today we answer that question.

Joining me in this episode is Paul Entrekin Author of Mr. Mig -The Real Story of the First MiGs in America. Paul’s life is a true example of how following your dream and pursuing your passion can lead to outcomes in your life beyond your dreams.
