September 27 Member Gathering
How and when should we hang up the airplane keys? Member Glenn Shields will lead a panel consisting of a cross-section of our membership discussing aging and flying and figuring out how and when to call it quits. We have pilot members of all ages and those in their later years may be considering the issues of FAA medicals, insurance, health and abilities. Join us for this gathering, it is sure to be a vibrant discussion.
