Speaker: Melissa Rundinger, Executive Director AOPA Foundation
Within hours of the attack on the Trade Towers, and for weeks thereafter, the skies over the US were as quiet as the morning the Wright Brothers first flew. In one of the most dramatic actions it had ever taken, the FAA immediately grounded all civilian aircraft throughout the United States.
As liaison with the FAA for AOPA, Melissa Rudinger was firsthand witness to what transpired. Rudinger will provide members of the Aero Club a personal recalling of the actions that transpired in the days and weeks after 9/11 to preserve our freedom to fly.
