Severe Weather
Technology behind Weather Forecasting/storm chasing. Presented by local television weathermen, usually available only locally due to work schedule "on air". But check your local TV weather person for availability for speaking engagements.
Commercial Airline Pilots' Flying Experiences
We have several former commercial airline pilots who are MPA members. They are willing to provide chapter programs with some advance notice. The evolution of the commercial airline industry and the changes in passenger safety are two of the subjects they can share from a very personal point of view.
