Yes I am asking for help..you can go to my website http://WWW.fundapilot.com and help. I am leaning on the power of the masses to help..if 39,000 people each donate a dollar, I could go to a flight academy. The new 1500 hour requirement for even co-pilots will kill the aviation community. So if you can help by forwarding the site or donating, thanks so much.

Thank you for your tempered and thoughtful commentary on the President’s State of the Union Speech.

My particular concern is the President’s announced intention to freeze discretionary spending, from which the Transportation Department and the FAA are funded. I trust that you and AOPA will marshal support for the appropriate level of funding for the FAA and that you will fight any attempt by the Administration to unfairly transfer the FAA’s cost to General Aviation.

Best regards,
Larry Petro
