Master Pilot Award Recipients May 2005

Seven RIPA members (above) were honored in June 2005 with the United States of America Department of Transportation FAA Wright Brothers Master Pilot Award. This award honors those who have been flying for 50 years or more without mishap. Do the math! This means that these members of RIPA alone represent over 350 years of flying experience and expertise. If you want to talk to some real pilots, come to the next RIPA event or meeting and meet the pros. Above, left to right:
