Education: AOPA Project Pilot
Student pilots who have a Mentor to help them through flight training are three times more likely to earn their pilot certificates. That simple fact is the reason that AOPA is beefing up its AOPA Project Pilot program.
"AOPA Project Pilot will help America's pilot population grow by giving student pilots the support they need to complete their training," said AOPA President Phil Boyer. "Since 1980, while the total U.S. population has grown by 25 percent, the pilot population has declined by the same percentage. And, worse, student starts are down by more than twice that rate.
"The United States has, from December 17, 1903, been the world leader in aviation. To keep that distinction, we've got to turn the pilot numbers around, and AOPA Project Pilot is a big step in the right direction."
The program draws on the strength of AOPA's more than 408,000 members, calling on each of them to identify a strong candidate for flight training, help them get started, and support them as they work toward their certificates.
To accomplish that, AOPA Project Pilot provides powerful tools, centered on a new Web site which helps Mentors keep in touch with their students and track progress while providing support, tips, and encouragement. CLICK HERE FOR MORE INFORMATION.  |

Twin Pine Airport Farewell FlyIn/FyOut [N75, NJ]
Twin Pines Airport (N75) Closing
The Twin Pine Airport has finally folded due to pressure from the Township of Hopewell. EAA Chapter 176, based at Twin Pine, will be holding a final Fly-In/Fly-Out and are hoping to get as many planes as possible to stop by. If the grass runway is too wet for landing, we ask for as many Fly-Bys as possible to honor the field on its last day. There wil be food, drink, entertainment, political speeches and ceremony of all types followed by the final Fly-Out of all aircraft from the airport. If you can't fly in, by all means drive in!
