Kenya Wildlife Service Pilots from Patty Wagstaff by Patty Wagstaff
Here I am with two pilots, George and Isaac, who I worked with to solo in the Super Cub at Kilaguni Airstrip this year. Both George and Isaac had soloed the Decathalon but needed to transition to the Super Cub so they could begin patrol work for the KWS. We had a great time flying and I was really proud of them!

LASP Comment Period Ends Amid Widespread Rejection from AVwebFlash Current Issue
Framed by some commenters as a "death sentence" for the functionality of operations that, according to the EAA, "raises serious constitutional questions about personal liberty," the Large Aircraft Security Program (LASP) comment period ended Friday amid a chorus of new negative opinion. The National Air Transportation Association Thursday released its recommendation that LASP, a TSA-proposed program that would govern security operations for all aircraft weighing more than 12,500 pounds, be withdrawn. "Overall, this NPRM demonstrates a troubling lack of knowledge and understanding of the general aviation community by the TSA," stated NATA President James K. Coyne. In Alaska, where aviation is often a critical component of daily of life, State Sen. Gene Therriaut and Rep. Mike Kelly separately introduced identical resolutions in the Senate and House this week expressing the legislature's opposition to LASP. Friday, GAMA added that while it was willing to work with the TSA toward a practical effective proposal, the current one "completely misses the mark." Both EAA and AOPA have expressed comments opposing the proposed security rules as well.

Today In Military/Aviation History 2- 8 March from Warbirds Online by Tom Kwiatkowski Sr.
Hello Folks, well not only did a week shoot by, but also a month. Yep, March is here. That’s okay, that much closer to Spring, warm weather and AIRSHOW SEASON! Can’t wait! I’ll probably only be attending two this year: Geneseo’s “GO NAVY” and the Rochester International Airport shows, but I live through other’s experiences, so when the photos from those other events start showing up an the 1941 HAG Message Board, I’ll pretend I took in those too. That’s all I really need. I’m easy. I sincerely hope that all the Air Shows this year make enough to at least break even what with the economy the way it is. We’ll see. Let’s get down to some serious history, shall we? Have an AB FAN week, Tom K
