The June 2010 issue of Flight Lines features CPA President Bob Kinney's message highlighting community aviation developments, including the grand opening of the Flight Deck Grill at Vance Brand Airport (LMO), a popular new $100 hamburger destination for pilots. The newsletter celebrates member achievements, notably CPA member Ricky Davidson's FAA Master Pilot Award recognizing over 50 years of satisfactory flying records, and covers upcoming aviation events and training opportunities for the season.
Key themes include promoting CPA's highly-rated Mountain Flying courses, encouraging participation in summer fly-ins and drive-ins, and urging members to switch to electronic newsletter delivery. The newsletter also reports on AOPA advocacy efforts regarding military installation land-use planning and highlights a Wolf Foundation-funded study examining the underrepresentation of women in general aviation.
