Thank you to Mark Baker, President & CEO of AOPA for visiting our club and speaking on the current challenges and opportunities that face the general aviation industry. Mark had agreed to speak at our club dinner months ago and then had a conflict, needing to attend a meeting in Washington DC. But, not wanting to cancel with us, he skillfully circumnavigated numerous

thunderstorms with his Citation to arrive, just in time, to meet with all of us. Get The Lead Out! Thanks to Chris D’Acosta our July speakers will be from Swift Fuels and they will update us on the progress of introducing unleaded fuels to the general aviation fleet. Resulting from petitions and lawsuits by environ-mental organizations, along with the EPA being sued to determine if lead from general aviation aircraft endan-ger public health and resulting pend-ing EPA regulations are putting pres-sure on airports to eliminate lead from the current use of 100LL. The Piston Aviation Fuel Initiative, or PAFI has been charged by Congress to evaluate the fuel candidates for replacing tetrae-thyllead in 100LL aviation gasoline. The PAFI program is ex-pected to finalize its evaluation and testing program for US piston-engine fleetwide approval by the end of 2018. In No-vember 2013, Swift’s fuel task force received unanimous ap-proval from ASTM International for the first high-octane UN-LEADED aviation gasoline production specification in the world. These changes are directly affecting a large portion of the gen-

eral aviation fleet. Come and learn what you need to know to

fly safely.

Price Increase

The Indianapolis Board of Directors has held the price of our

dinners at $20 per person for over 14 years but, the cost per

person, had exceeded that price and the club has been losing

money on every meal served for several years. As a result, the

Board of Directors last month reluctantly voted to increase the

cost of our dinners to $25. As a not-for-profit organization, we

make every effort to use your dollars wisely and provide the

best programs, speakers, food, and venue possible. We value

you as members and thank you for your consideration.

Now Go fly!
