SENATORS
MOVE TO STOP TOWER CLOSURES
A bipartisan group of senators
will introduce legislation to stop the FAA from closing any control
towers to meet its sequester cut requirements. "The Protect Our Skies
Act, which is co-sponsored by a bipartisan group of 18 Senators, would
prohibit the Department of Transportation (DOT) from closing any air
traffic control towers, including those that are operated by the FAA,"
says a news release issued by Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-Okla), one of the
bill's sponsors. More...

SOCIALFLIGHT
EXPANDS REACH, GAINS MEDIA PARTNERS
SocialFlight, a free
mobile app that aims to bring pilots together by providing an easy
source of information about aviation events, has grown to 15,000 users
since its launch just nine months ago, founder Jeff Simon said at Sun 'n
Fun on Tuesday. The app has also evolved to version 3.0. "We're adding
1,000 users a month," Simon said, "and the database users are adding 10
to 15 events a day. What we hear from users is, 'I'm flying more.'"
Simon said he hopes the app will help the pilot community to grow and
encourage pilots to fly more often, by making it easy to find a nearby
event to fly to. Simon also announced that AVweb,
Kitplanes, and General Aviation News have signed on as
partners to bring SocialFlight's utility to their readership, both in
print and online. More...
