Great work Nicolas!
You always remember your first solo!

Nicolas is a young man who came to EFA from Switzerland to learn how to fly at the recommendation of his friend, an acquaintance of our own Michael Goulian.

He has been working very hard and flew his first solo yesterday at Hanscom Field in Bedford. It’s an important milestone, and Nicolas’ passionate persistence tells us that there will be many more.

Town Hall Meeting with AOPA President Craig Fuller KBED 5/18/13

AOPA President Craig Fuller

An invitation from Craig Fuller,
President of AOPA

Please join me for a pilot town hall gathering on Saturday, May 18, 2013 from 8:30 am – 10:00 am at Signature Flight Support’s Hangar 13 located on Hanscom Field.

With the national elections behind us, a new year ahead of us, and the economy just maybe starting to show some signs of growth, I am anxious to get out into the flying community and talk with those who are passionate about flying.

Throughout 2013, I’ll visit major metropolitan areas and gather with fellow pilots and AOPA members to discuss the issues that most directly affect our freedom to fly. I will share my perspective on the current state of general aviation and AOPA’s initiatives to grow the pilot population. I’ll also bring you up to speed on AOPA’s efforts in Washington, D.C., and key issues nationwide, on how we fight to protect airports, prevent tax hikes, and build the GA community.

When aviators connect, great things happen. Together, we can generate new ways of thinking and make general aviation stronger. I’ll be in your area soon, and I invite you to join me, and even bring a friend who’s interested in aviation.

The event is free, but please RSVP to events@aopa.org so we know to expect you. Be sure to include MA in the subject line if you plan to attend. If you are flying in, aircraft parking is available at Signature Flight Support. They can be reached at 781-274-0010, or email bed@signatureflight.com.
