We have all heard or read stories about how busy modern teens are these days compared to the “good old days” when playing a sport or being in the band was the extent of extracurricular activities. Teens in Sarasota and Manatee counties have an slightly more unusual option for their free time — they can help build an airplane. Not a model, but an actual airplane. Teens Aircraft Factory of Manasota offers 14-18 year-olds an opportunity to work on a project building a full-size flying machine. Members of that non-profit organization will join Steve and Lew to tell us more about the how, what, when and why of the group.
