Anyone remember this day in aviation history? http://bit.ly/12Mip2P

Yes I remember that day in history...  I wonder what would happen now?

Master Instructors LLC takes pride in announcing a significant aviation
accomplishment on the part of Obie S Young, president of the National Aviation
Safety Foundation and a resident of Orlando, Florida.  Recently, Obie's
accreditation as a Master CFI (Certificated Flight Instructor)
was renewed by the Master Instructors LLC Board of Review, the international accrediting authority for the Master Instructor designation as well as the FAA-approved "Master Instructor Programä."  He first earned this national professional accreditation in 1998 and is one of only 35 worldwide to earn the credential six (6) times.  Additionally, Obie was the 1978 National CFI of the Year.

To help put this achievement in its proper perspective, there are approximately 97,000 CFIs in the United States.  Fewer than 800 of them have achieved that
distinction thus far.  The last 18 National Flight Instructors of the Year or
FAASTeam Representatives of the Year were Master CFIs (see: http://www.GeneralAviationAwards.org/)
while Obie is one of only 73 Florida aviation educators who has earned this prestigious "Master" title. 

In the words of former FAA Administrator Marion Blakey, "The Master Instructor accreditation singles out the best that the right seat has to offer."
