I'm posting this request on behalf of a pilot who'll be visiting
the US in May. Can any of our PG pilots help Chris out?

Visiting PG pilot : Would like to fly this area in May
Moderator: CHGPA BOD
I received a phone call from Chris (visiting from Cyprus) today. He is in the area until Sunday and would really like to meet up with someone to fly.
I had a little trouble understanding him due to his accent, but it sounds like he is currently in Potomac, MD. I'm in New Jersey and fly at Little Gap, PA. I think Little Gap may be a pretty long drive (3-1/2 hours one way) from Potomac.
Anyway, if anyone from CHGPA is going flying in the next few days, perhaps you could call Chris and invite him to join you. His US cell # is: 757-469-7615.
Thanks!
