We welcome new contributors to our pages. First, U.S. Senator Jim Inhofe provides a powerful op-ed on his Pilot’s Bill of Rights 2 legislation and his opinion of the recent spate of stops and searches of private aircraft flying domestic routes by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection. Next, Graham Stephenson writes from England on why airports should require FBOs to comply with IS-BAH standards. Sylwia Ksiazek of Poland informs readers about efforts being made in that country concerning civil aviation safety. Joe Buckley of Shannon International Airport in Ireland graciously grants an interview and tells about the U.S. Customs Preclearance program available to private aircraft. Finally, television series creator and co-executive producer Andrea Vernot gives us a sneak peek into the upcoming Air Fare America—a show that will focus on the adventure of general aviation flying, fun and unique airport dining, as well as amazing treasures hidden in hangars.
