I am starting to plan on attending one of the MAPA Safety Foundation's Pilot Proficiency Programs this year. Tucson in April would be nice and let me visit my Alma Mater. However it is out as my wife has a convention in San Diego the same week. June in Denver looks pretty good but I have family in Fredericksburg VA, so Roanoke also looks interesting. Who else is planning on going this year and to which venue(s)? 2014 PPP's Melbourne, FL - Feb 14-16 Tucson, AZ - Apr 25-27 Denver, CO - Jun 27-29 Roanoke, VA - Sep 5-7 Branson, MO - Oct 10-12 --Carl
