State of the Union for pilot training funding: Due to the lack of available loans/funds for commercial aviation jobs, I am attempting something new. 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.

I was lucky to be at the event with the President Friends of Aviation and colleagues. AOPA is doing an AMAZING job under Craig’s leadership, benefiting us all weather in aviation or not with AOPA’s General Aviation Serves America! We support you and wish you all the best! Thank you and please keep going! X Ari

Great event! I was lucky to be there with some other members of the Los Angeles based group, “Friends of Aviation”. The flight simulator was a real hit and we will hopefully have one set up in our Glendale event on August 21st!
Great work AOPA!

Great work AOPA! As AOPA member and active in safety promotion in Africa, I look forward to finding ways in which we can roll out a similar program in some African countries together with AOPA

I have read in one of my e-mail updates from AIN that the new FAA authorization bill will require “ADS-B Out on all aircraft by 2015 and ADS-B In on all aircraft by 2018”. Is this accurate for my 1969 C177A? Is there any assistance with the cost of the equipment? Is there any estimate of the cost of equipment and installation on my type of aircraft.

Great work Craig and team! This type of outreach is critical to the future of GA. Keep it up and I look forward to hearing about what other venues you select.
