Welcome back to the Colorado Pilots Association podcast! In this episode, we’re diving into highlights from the November 2025 edition of Flight Lines.
Outgoing president Adrian Nye reflects on his time leading CPA and passes the torch to incoming president Andy Holmes and vice president Patrick Brennan. We’ll also cover what’s ahead for members — from the Annual Meetingat Rocky Mountain Metro Airport and the always-festive Holiday Dinner at Buffalo Run Golf Course, to the 2026 Fly-In Planning Meeting kicking off the new year.
We’ll talk about CPA’s 2026 Scholarship Program, honoring aviation legends Walt and Terry Barbo and Emily Howell Warner — both of whom continue to inspire Colorado’s next generation of pilots. Then, we’ll turn to advocacy news as Longmont’s city council moves forward with a landing fee ordinance, sparking passionate debate among local aviators defending access to community airports.
In the “From the Line” section, Adrian Nye shares Why They Fly, a heartfelt reflection on the joy of flight, and Bill Marvel returns with Got Oxygen?, offering insight into high-altitude flying and personal safety here in the Rockies.
We’ll also recap recent CPA fly-ins — from Nucla, Colorado, where members explored a century-old irrigation marvel carved through the mountains, to Hutchinson, Kansas, home to an underground salt mine and the world-class Kansas Cosmosphere. And if you’re planning ahead, mark your calendars — the April 2026 Phoenix Fly-In promises blue skies, desert beauty, and a perfect start to the flying season.
