Erik Lindbergh, On AOPA's Project Pilot
The number of general
aviation pilots is dropping so low and so fast that the AOPA is
worried... worried enough to reinvigorate its mentoring program
called Project Pilot.
The idea is for pilots to help friends interested in aviation
move from dreamers to flyers... not by teaching them, but by
coaching them. The new and improved Project Pilot has been up and
running for about two months now and already... there are about
1,300 pilot mentors... and almost that many student pilots being
mentored.
Erik Lindbergh -- grandson of the famous trans-Atlantic aviator
-- speaks for Project Pilot... and spoke with Pete Combs Wednesday
about where the program stands.
This feature is in addition to our daily news briefing --
available in either a quick "Touch And Go" format or an expanded
Aero-Briefing.
ANN Daily Touch N Go:
08.03.06 (ANN's Short-Form Daily News Program)
ANN Daily Aero-Briefing:

ANN Special Feature -- Erik Lindbergh
On Project Pilot: 08.03.06 (ANN Special Feature,
with Erik Lindbergh, spokesman for AOPA's "Project Pilot".)
Our DAILY programs consist of (at least) three separate
products.
- ANN's Daily 'Touch & Go' Aero-Cast: A
quick look at the most recent news of the day... short, succinct
and to the point. The usual 'Touch & Go' takes but a few
minutes and is a summary, only, of the day's events... and it only
takes a few minutes of your time.
- ANN's Daily Briefing Aero-Cast: The Daily ANN
Report (ANNRep for short), is a more comprehensive look at the
day's news. We give you the whole buzz... the news and features
that occupy the forefront of aviation news as well as solid
background on the subjects that aviators and other aviation
professionals need to stay informed on.
- ANN's Daily 'ASR' Feature Aero-Cast: Our daily
'Aero-News Special Report' involves a more in-depth view of a story
or two that dominated (or will be dominating) the day's news. Far
more detailed than any single story in our standard ANN Daily
Reports, this is a solid chance to get a close look at the stories
and topics that matter. ASR features may include exclusive
interviews with Aviation's Newsmakers, ANN's Special Investigative
reports and solid analysis of the stories that will have undeniable
impact on the world of aviation and aerospace.
Check them out, let us know what you think and be sure to keep
those news-tips and program suggestions coming... ANN is ALL about
what YOU want to know about in the world of aviation and
aerospace.
