A big THANK YOU goes to all the Aviation Safety Counselor (ASC) team chiefs and their teams. Michael McCann did an excellent job in getting the "word" out and Hank Bruckner, Al Avery, and Ron Stewart went out of their way to set up a super static display (my L-13A left another oil spot on the HNL ramp-- sorry; however, the other airplane static displays were much nicer and cleaner and thanks for your participation). The Wings Weekend flight activities were well-organized under the set up of Larry Inouye and assistance of Don Machado and Bill Padgett. Many mahalos to the CFIs who flew people and the clubs/FBOs that provided airplanes at a low rate. Also thanks to Jim Hein and Bill Rothe for having such an interesting maintenance display and for organizing the maintenance mini workshops. Appreciation also goes to Billie Anderson, Doug Gurel, and Perry Valleriani for getting the speakers to be at the right place and at the right time. And finally, I would like to recognize Tweet Coleman for all her work in helping to arrange for speakers, door prizes, and fun games for the weekend--without her assistance, we would not have a Wings Weekend.

We are still having monthly safety meetings (until June) at the Honolulu FSDO on the third Thursday of the month at 7 p.m. We are scheduled to have some more top-notch speakers at these meetings. We also plan to have a Wings Weekend in Kona this year (planned for November 9) and are looking for sponsors for a Wings Weekend at other islands. Also, we are planning to have an "Aviation Sunday" at the Bishop Museum in the March time frame. The purpose is to make people aware of all the good aviation provides Hawaii. Anyone wanting to assist, please call Doug Gurel or Perry Valleriani. And finally, all ASCs mark your calendar for our annual ASC get together (pot luck) on December 6, 6 p.m. at the Honolulu FSDO. This year will be my last year as the ASC Team Chief coordinator, and I would like to see you there and say my personal thanks for a nice and productive four years.

Mahalo and aloha,

Rob Moore
