ANN Special Feature: Erik Lindbergh on the AOPA's Project Pilot 08.03.06
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 13-hundred 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.
