Many of us have heard about this exclusive organization through the posts of
Dudley Henriques, founder of the IFPF and a frequent poster on these newsgroups. Dudley asked me to help create a website that would document the history of this remarkable group of pilots. An honor society comprised mainly of pilots in and around the airshow demonstration community, the IFPF filled a unique niche in the aviation world for over 20 years, starting in 1971. The site is nothing fancy, but Dudley's narrative does a good job of explaining the purpose and mission of this unique organization -- and he has provided many neat photos of some very prominent pilots of the day.

It's been one thing to post/reply and get all sorts of great advice, learn lots of new things, have a laugh, etc. It's even better when you get a chance to meet folks face to face. It's a wonderful community. -- Jack Allison PP-ASEL, IA Student, Piper Arrow purchasing student "When once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the Earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you will always long to return" - Leonardo Da Vinci (Remove the obvious from address to reply via e-mail) |
