Because you have a sincere interest in aviation, safety and the WINGS Pilot Proficency Program, The Advocates for Aviation Safety (AFASF) invites you to join our team. All we ask of you as a volunteer, is to make phone contact to aviators from lists provided, informing them of the benefits of the Advocates NewsBug.
