MPA PLANS FIRST ANNUAL STATE AVIATION DAY

The Missouri Pilots Association has plans for a first-ever aviation event to increase the public's awareness of the economic impact of all aspects of aviation on the state's economy, and to increase the visibility of the Missouri Pilots Association. Flying to every paved, public airport in the state, delivering aviation economic impact information to each location, and then convening in the state's capitol (Jefferson City) on April 25, the pilots will host a luncheon for elected officials, make a presentation of aviation information, hear the declaration of Aviation Day in Missouri, and then proceed to meet with individual legislators to discuss mutual concerns.

Since this is the first such event, it is expected to be followed each year with similar activities.

MPA is an extremely pro-active aviation organization, and USPA is proud to have its affiliation and active participation within our national organization. Other state groups may wish to consult with MPA on this project.
