outhIn 1996 there were 1,907 General Aviation (GA) accidents. Of all these accidents, only 2 involved pilots who
had participated in the WINGS program during the previous 12 months! Each accident had an average cost of $30,000
dollars. Just looking at this information, isn't it worth the 3 flying hours and a safety meeting to avoid a costly
accident? Participate in the WINGS program. It's better than a BFR
The State Wings Contest runs from April 1st thru March 31st each year. Let's make the WINGS year
WINGS Safe. All it takes is one hour of air work, one hour of takeoffs and landings, one hour of instrument and
a safety meeting. It is the responsibility of each chapter WINGS Chair to keep track of all their WINGS participants.
So -- please -- keep Chapter Wings Officer, Penrod Turk, informed upon the completion of any phase. (4 West 112th
