Educational Programs Team
There’s been a sudden change of plans.
​
Our speaker had a medical emergency over the weekend and is no longer able to attend on Wednesday with his sport helicopter. He is happy to do so at a future date.
​
In the meantime, we have come up with a new plan. Keep reading!

Have you ever dreamed of flying a GA airplane on safari in Africa? We did just that in 2012. It was our introduction to GA and we were hooked! We created a beautiful, 18-minute presentation, set to music, of the very best photos we took while flying Cessna 182s around South Africa, Mozambique, Malawi, Zimbabwe, and Botswana. This was our route:
The PDF buttons below contain the AQP WINGS Credit Program notes from the Minutes.
RTAG is blessed to have Joe Rajacic as a member. As a pilot for United Airlines, Joe worked with United Airlines' Advanced Qualification Program (AQP) to enhance safety at the airline. Now that he's retired, he has created an AQP for General Aviation. Joe presents AQP seminars for WINGS Credit on the most common causes of GA fatal accidents. All RTAG members are encouraged to attend.
​
For more information on AQP, visit the FAA's webpage on the topic.
This inspiring presentation is one you will not want to miss!
​
Bring your spouse! Bring your friends! Bring your teenagers!
​
But wait! There’s more!
If you would love to do a trip like this, there will be an interest sheet for a possible Africa Fly-In Safari in May-June 2026. It will likely include South Africa, Namibia, Zambia, and Botswana!
Followed by a Safety Presentation by Joe Rajacic
As a pilot for United Airlines, Joe worked with United Airlines' Advanced Qualification Program (AQP) to enhance safety at the airline. Now that he's retired, he has created an AQP for General Aviation. Joe will talk about the recent mid-air collision and ways to mitigate it.​​​​​
