It is with great pleasure that we wish to congratulate Ed Erickson upon the occasion of his being awarded The Wright Brothers Master Pilot Award on August 22, 2013.  The award was presented by Alan Hoffert, representing the FAA, for more than 50 years of safe aircraft flight operations.  For those of you who know Ed, you know that Ed has flown just about every piece of iron that flies.  The consumate perfectionist, he has been a tremendous asset to aviation in Minnesota and our country, in general.  Congratulations, Ed!
