To get an idea of the scope of Bob=92s research, we have recently started

C=
heck out www.savethepegasus.org to access the documentation. Note that

are

the most complete, and have extensive links to FAA regulations, Centrair

ails, Administrative Law, technical data from OSTIV and a myriad of other

past the FAA AD limit of 3,000 hours.

Pegasus owners should be grateful to Bob Carlton for taking hundreds of

FAA=
officials in an attempt to resolve the issue.
