Tailwheel Pilots Association Already Has 1,000 Members
The Tailwheel Pilots Association is pleased to announce its
organizational creation and the launch of its official web site.
Almost 1000 members have joined the new association in its first
month of existence.
The Tailwheel Pilots Association was founded by Kevin Laufer.
Kevin owns a 1946 Globe Swift and is a G-IV Captain for a corporate
flight department based in Philadelphia. The Association is
headquartered at the historic Flying W Airport in Medford New
Jersey.
The Tailwheel Pilots Association (TPA) utilizes the Internet to
facilitate its day-to-day operations and does so through the web
site. All aspects of the association are conducted electronically
via the web.
"My passion for old tailwheel aircraft and my past successes
with building popular aviation web sites helped prompt me to start
this organization," said 29-year-old Laufer. "I hope to promote,
expand, and make tailwheel flying more accessible to the general
aviation community through this association. The membership
activity during our inaugural month has been exceptional."
The Tailwheel Pilots Association has three specific
missions:
- To promote and educate tailwheel flying and tailwheel aircraft
to the aviation community by use of the World Wide Web
- To create an online community dedicated to tailwheel aircraft
and tailwheel flying for tailwheel pilots, student pilots, and
tailwheel enthusiasts
- To facilitate the advancement of tailwheel related services and
organizations through online marketing initiatives with the web
site
