While some of us may not be feeling the consequences as much as others right now, that is not cause for relief—it is a cause for awareness, planning, and change.

I want to start off by thanking everyone. We had an overwhelming amount of support from all of you. We had people voting, people on the phones making calls, sending messages, sharing our posts, Channel 4 News posted on their website, we reached over 30,000 people on Facebook, and had 10K views in a matter of hours. We couldn't have done this without everyones participation. Although we are unsure who the top 15 is at this point, we were in 12th place as of early this morning. We not only met our goal but we surpassed it by a long shot. Stacey McCoy is our grand prize winner for the sunset helicopter tour over the city. Congratulations, Stacy please contact Vertical Limit Aviation at 505-831-HELI (4354). Thanks again for all your support! I'm sorry to all of you who did not win a helicopter tour, but if you voted and posted "Voted" on our page, you will receive 15% off a tour package in appreciation for your support until the end of the month. We can't thank you all enough for your help.

Yesterday on November 24th, 2015 New Mexico history was made! Isaac Wilson the 2015 recipient of AOPA’s Noe-Singer Flight Training Scholarship become the YOUNGEST helicopter pilot to get a Private Pilot Certificate on his 17th Birthday! Now Isaac’s story at such a young age is very rare, it is even more unique because he did both a Private Pilot and a Instrument Rating check-rides in ONE day! Congratulations young man!
