 You shouldn't measure life's moments by how many breaths you take,
but by how many of life's moments take your breath away!
 

 We boat tow too!

Non-U.S. Pilots flying in the U.S.:
At minimum for foreign pilots to fly in the U.S., they will need to hold an International Pilot Proficiency Identification card (IPPI) card and contact USHPA (toll free: 800.616.6888, direct: 719.632.8300 or fax: 719.632.6417) and obtain a 30-day membership. If they want to actually receive a 'rating' from USHPA, they will have to fill in a regular annual membership form and pay the annual membership dues.
http://www.ushga.org/documents/sop/sop-12-03.pdf

U.S. Pilots flying abroad:

IPPI card is sponsored by the Federation Aeronautic International (FAI). This card is your universal pilot rating card for the SafePro and ParaPro programs from the FAI and may be necessary when flying overseas. The IPPI card is not a stand-alone card, but is to be used in conjunction with your current membership card. You must be a current USHPA member for USHPA to issue an IPPI card to you.

the Zen corner...
- Aim for the sky... for even when you miss, you'll be among the stars! -
- Always remember that you're unique... just like everyone else. -
- If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is not for you. -
- If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything. -
- Experience is someth
ing you don't get until just after you need it. -
- Life may not be the party we hoped for; but while we're here, we should dance.... -
- You don't stop laughing because you grow
old; you grow old because you stop laughing. -
- It's not what you gather, but what you scatter
that tells what kind of life you live. -
- Getting too caught up in who's right & wrong, you may forget what's right & wrong. -
