[Pilots] Aircraft Rates

[William Hienz]

Minnesota Wing Pilots,

Thanks to all of you who were able to take advantage of the
reduced aircraft rates over the past two months (see below email) to
improve your flight proficiency, training, and readiness.  Having reviewed
the budgets, your Minnesota Wing Finance Committee has voted to restore the
previous flying dry rates, effective 1 July 2023:

*Aircraft*

*Pilot Rate*

C172

$39.00/hr

C182

$44.00/hr

This is still the most cost-effective flying you're likely to find anywhere
- and we are working hard to keep it that way.

Thanks for all you do to contribute to our communities, state and nation
through Minnesota Wing, Civil Air Patrol!  Much appreciated.

*Col Bill Hienz, CAP*
Minnesota Wing Commander
Civil Air Patrol, U.S. Air Force Auxiliary
