Pros – LMFP has good training program, H2’s

consistency of launches and landings with instructors. Mark Poling
feels we need to embrace teaching H2’s. secondly, TTT currently has
91 annual members and our membership is down in last 9 months. 250
H2’s went through the LMFP program. Poling want to build lockbox to
place at LMFP
And eliminate LMFP staff from having to deal
with waivers and money. As far as debating rules and stipulations,
we should let committee determine. TTT BOD needs to determine
rules.
