Having Milestones is a Good Thing


Having milestones in life is a good thing.  And James Oliphant of Team Delta at AOPAIA is approaching a big milestone.  As James was looking down the road at his approaching 50th birthday, he decided to not just have a big birthday party to celebrate but to do a charitable act.  “I decided to do something different and make a journey around Kansas.  At first, it was just to land at 50 different airports on my birthday.  Then it was, why not do this as a fundraiser?”  So in conjunction with the American Cancer Society and as part of the Relay for Life, James is flying the Mooney 201 that he is a partner in to 50 airports on or near his birthday.  “ I took the week off to fly it so that I could pick the day with the best weather.”  Having a May birthday should help that cause!  If you would like to help James reach his fundraising goal, click here to donate.  “It’s going to be a long day of flying but really worth it.”
