Mark February 28th On Your Calendars

The United States Ultralight Association will hold its 2004 Annual Member Meeting February 28, 2004, in Springfield, Illinois, at the Illinois State Fairgrounds. The mid-winter event will be held in conjunction with the 24th Annual Illinois Ultralight Advisory Council (IUAC) Ultralight/Lightplane Safety Seminar. Between the USUA business meetings that are also being held during the weekend, the USUA Board of Directors, Staff and Regional Representatives will be on hand to greet members and prospective members.

The Meeting and Seminar will be held in the 400-seat Illinois Building & Auditorium on the Illinois State Fairgrounds. Registration for both events will begin at 8:00AM at the fairgrounds. Following the Annual Member Meeting, the day will conclude with the presentation of the USUA Ultralight Awards Ceremony. This year's Moody Award -- named for John Moody, who many consider to be the father of American ultralighting -- will be presented to Jack McCornack.

USUA will be holding a BFI Clinic / AFI Seminar on Sunday February 29, 2004, the day following the Annual Meeting and Safety Seminar. Jim Sweeney (USUA AFI #10798) will cover various topics, including training techniques, program administration and Sport Pilot conversion. The AFI test will be administered at the conclusion of the AFI Seminar.

Registration begins at 8:00 AM, with the BFI Clinic starting at 8:15 AM and ending at 12:30 PM. The AFI Seminar continues at 12:45 PM and ends around 5:30 PM. All AFI Seminar attendees must attend the BFI Clinic, which costs $35.00.

See you there!
