We are pleased to announce that former SCAPA Board member Ken Steiner will be our featured speaker for a membership meeting on Wed. Feb. 16, 2011 at 7PM at the Hiller Museum. Titled “Flying with Ghosts: Lessons Learned from the Mistakes of Others,” Ken’s presentation will explore actual accidents that he has investigated over the years. He identifies areas where pilots get into trouble and how to avoid becoming a future statistic.
