Subject: The FAA Bill to extend liability protection

Dear Grace Flight and Angel Flight Pilots:
Yesterday (April 30th), U.S. Senator Jim Inhofe (R-Okla.) introduced an amendment (S.A.4606) to the FAA Reauthorization bill to extend liability protection to volunteer pilots, volunteer pilot organizations (VPO), such as Grace Flight of America and the various regional Angel Flight organizations.
We would like to ask all of our pilots to call their 2 Senators in Washington as soon as possible to voice support for this amendment. Phone numbers for your senators can be found at www.senate.gov.
PLEASE, make your voice heard by calling today! This legislation has been in the works for 8 years and this is the closest we have come to success.
Thank you for the gift of Wings and everything else you do to help people in need!

Jan Hoynacki, Executive Director
