Subj:    TERRORISM UPDATE - USE OF SMALL AIRCRAFT   
Date:   5/24/2002 2:07:14 PM Eastern Daylight Time  

Hey Gang: This is serious!! 

The FBI has received uncorroborated information indicating that terrorists 
may still be interested in the use of aircraft for suicide attacks in the 
United States. The interest is reportedly in the use of small aircraft, due 
to the enhanced aviation security post 9-11.

 With this Memorial Day weekend, I ask that you to share this information 
with other pilots, FBO, and airport personnel at your airport. All extra 
vigilance on our part may help discourage any possible actions by those who 
wish to harm us.

 Attached are links to documents from the FAA and AOPA relating to GA 
security for aircraft owners, FBO’s, and flight schools. A quick review is 
appropriate. Section 6. in the FBO document is really important to us. During 
this holiday weekend, if your see any suspicious activities or persons in and 
around you airport, contact your local FBI office, local police department, 
and airport management office.

 Most of all, if you fly this weekend, fly safe. Have a great Memorial Day 
weekend!!!
