The USPA annual members' meeting and board meeting in Wichita, KS, June 14-17, was very well attended and enjoyed by all. Wichita's friendly "western" hospitality made all feel welcome, and the Thursday evening safety seminar attendance reached nearly 100. The Saturday evening banquet speaker was Corky Nason, Chairman of the Board of Nason Associates of Mission, KS, the largest wholesaler of aviation insurance in the country. Corky brought insurance information you won't hear anywhere else.
Among the business items discussed were user fees, insurance, USPA brochure distribution, business supporter contacts, next year's USPA tour of the Bahamas, and many others.
The next USPA flyout will be held in Santa Fe, NM, September 13-16. Watch for more information in America's Flyways and your email in-box. This meeting will include a mountain flying course conducted by the New Mexico Pilots Association, plus tours and fun things to do in and around Santa Fe. Plan to attend! It's a good reason to fly into beautiful country at a beautiful time of the year and enjoy the company of like-minded friends.
