Thursday, June 19, 2014

NBC Today Show Appearance! The story last Sunday (June 15) was mostly about a member of the Royal Family — Pippa Middleton — also biking in the Race Across America. But if you watch all the way through you will see an interview with NATCA Flyers team member Jim Marinitti (Miami Tower and TRACON, above left, with teammate Jay Barrett).
