About Flight Line Internet Radio:

Flight Line Internet Radio (FLiR) caters to aviation enthusiasts. FLiR is a 24/7 radio station that has a global reach, with various topical segments that will entertain almost anyone that enjoys flight. The radio station follows a general format of a traditional local radio station, mixing topical segments with music and now tips for better and safer flying. What makes FLiR different is the concept of attracting listeners because of their hobby or passion instead of their geographical location or age.
