Summary: The July 2025 issue of Flight Lines focuses on the upcoming EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2025, where the Colorado Pilots Association will staff a booth twice the size of previous years to promote Colorado aviation and the CPA mountain flying program. President Adrian Nye discusses the anticipated FAA release of the MOSAIC final rule, which would modernize light sport aircraft regulations and enable pilots to operate without medical certification. The newsletter also highlights the CPA's premier Mountain Flying & High-Elevation Airport Operations Course, originally developed in 1986, and announces important changes to the membership directory opt-in policy.
