The President and CEO of the US Marine Corp. Association, LtGen (ret) Chiarotti, USMC, extended a personal invite for the Flying Ship leadership team to participate in Modern Day Marine last week to bridge the gap between Flying Ships and the Marines Corp.’s requirements.

We thank the LtGen for his service and his interest in our revolutionary transportation vehicles.

See the two hour mark of this Congressional hearing:  Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney of New York's 18th district calls wing-in-ground effect vehicles, "remarkable crafts that attempt to use new technology to operate above the surface of water on dynamic air suspension and can attain speeds in excess of one hundred miles per hour." And he goes on to tell the Commandant of the U.S. Coast Guard, Adm. Karl Schultz, "I know for your missions in the East Pacific, for example, getting those distances would be very helpful, but I'm sure for other missions, as well."

We could not agree more! Adm. Schultz, we are here to help!
