Hello Joseph and everyone,

But share the flight with others going your way and you can increase those 
numbers bringing the cost down. This would allow you to get your members to 
an NFB national events, escape the TSA pat-downs,  and do a little community 
service at the same time.

With only six of us from Oregon on a single flight, that would not be
economical, I suspect.  Larger states could manage it quite well,
though.

I’m shocked Colorado hasn’t gone this route!
