Lancaster, PA - December 19th, 2003 - Officials with EXTRA Aircraft have announced the award-winning pick from their recent AOPA prize drawing.

Steven Hodosh of Barrington, RI was awarded a two- day Emergency Maneuver Training course, courtesy of EXTRA Aircraft and FCI Training (http://www.fcitraining.com). Hodosh (shown at right), a practicing dentist and an avid pilot, was notified earlier this month of the grand prize.

"I'm very surprised and extremely happy," Hodosh said. "I'm eager to get underway with training at FCI."

Hodosh earned his private pilot's ticket twenty years ago because, as he said, "I wanted to scare my mother."

He succeeded, and has been flying ever since when he's not giving root canals and filling holes in his patient's teeth.

EXTRA Aircraft and FCI Training have teamed up to offer similar training certificates during industry events because of the synergy between the two organizations. FCI Training uses the highly touted aerobatic aircraft, the EXTRA 300L in much of its curriculum.
