Summer 2004 - Fairfax O’Riley (ex-flight instructor ECAC) provided numerous “fly friendly” suggestions:

    WINGS program for pilot education

    Contract Tower Airports - Norwood and Beverly Airports are actively soliciting flight training

    Mapping all available space and create regional agreement for flight schools/individual pilots practice areas

    Petitions to FAA to open additional airspace for acrobatics (flight schools are much less restricted)

Unfortunately, Fairfax has pursued other avenues for his career and is unable to continue his leadership role to implement these fly  friendly proposals.  He had recommended other flight instructors (Jim Henry, Maurice Mourneau, Chris Rourke) to continue his work, an avenue we had pursued but have been unsuccessful.   Additionally, we emailed these recommendations to New England Free Skies Association, a pilot's activist organization.
