On Saturday, we’ll offer something for every taste: In the morning (9-12), we’ll present the highly recommended CDM Safety Course - Critical Decision Making. In parallel, for the non-pilots, we’ll offer a sightseeing tour, or you are free to stroll the streets and do some tax-free shopping. In the afternoon, excursions to some scenic points are planned. Details will be given in our next letter, closer to the event. Finally, in the evening, we’ll have the traditional banquet for the whole Cirrus Family – a wonderful opportunity to socialize with friends, and friends to be made.
