Regulatory question halts Operation Migration journey in Alabama
Operation Migration's 2011-12 whooping crane migration – an annual light-sport aircraft -led flight of the endangered birds from Wisconsin to Florida - is currently on hold in northern Alabama while the FAA sorts out an administrative issue involving the pilots and aircraft. According to Joe Duff, OM CEO and pilot, the FAA is working with them to resolve whether or not OM's pilots are flying their certificated, N-numbered weight-shift trikes outside the sport pilot/light-sport aircraft regulations. The organization has played a leading role in the reintroduction of endangered whooping cranes into eastern North America, teaching them the migratory route to Chassahowitzka National Wildlife Refuge in Florida since 2001.
Another little Hitler has found something important...jeeeez
