Recently the AOPA asked the Minnesota Pilots Association for another round of letter writing to the two MN Senators, Amy Klobuchar and Al Franken, to urge them to support the legislation which would significantly reform the third class medical certification process. To date our Senators have not supported legislation which we feel has only positive impacts on aviation in Minnesota, especially on those of us who are pilots. In the following links they report on the contribution that I made on behalf of the Minnesota Pilots Association.

The link to the video, in which I provided an interview, is: http://www.aopa.org/AOPA-Live?watch={49B1F460-7C88-4FEA-941F-5950DB848033}

Please take a few minutes to read the article and watch the video.

I am posting this to let you know that the MN Pilots Association continues to work to support pilots in MN. For those of you who are members, thank you! For those of you who are not yet members, please take a moment to join the Minnesota Pilots Association. There is strength in numbers, and we need your support!
