Flyfunston

In conjunction with the USHPA board of directors meeting this year, there will be a repeat of last year's Bay Area Pilot Summit banquet. In 2005, nearly 175 pilots and friends from 6 regional clubs gathered to eat, drink, swap lies, and participate in educational seminars. 2006 promises to be even bigger and better.

The pilot summit will follow USHPA’s general session and meetings on Saturday, October 7 in San Francisco. Attend a meeting, meet the directors and other club officials, eat, party, and socialize.
