A MESSAGE FROM SALLY STRUTHERS 

HELP FEED AIR FORCE PILOTS


It’s just not right.  Thousands of Air Force pilots in our very own country are living at or 
just below the six figure salary line.  And if that wasn’t bad enough, many of them may 
go several weeks or months without a bonus if they are forced to wait for Congress to 
pass needed legislation.  Congress is just “sitting” on much-needed legislation to increase 
the pilot bonus (ACP) to $22K per year, and while we wait, our pilots are going without 
any bonus payments at all!!!

But you can help.  For $423.00 a week – that’s less than the price of a 25" television set – 
you can help keep a pilot economically viable during his (or her) time of need.

Four hundred twenty-three dollars a week may not seem like a lot of money to you, but to 
a pilot it could mean the difference between a vacation fishing in Florida or a 
Mediterranean Cruise.

For you, $423.00 is nothing more than half a month’s rent or mortgage payment.  But to a 
pilot, $423.00 a week is their God-given right for the hardships of having to fly a sleek 
fighter or a mission-critical transport plane opposed to that old commercial airline 
between LaGuardia and Atlanta.

$423.00 per week will enable a pilot to upgrade his or her home computer, buy that new 
100" television set, trade in the 6 month old Lexus for a Ferrari, or enjoy a dinner (with 
champagne) at The Mansion.

HOW WILL I KNOW I AM HELPING?

Each month you will receive a complete financial statement report on the pilot you 
sponsor.  Detailed information about his or her stocks, bonds, 401k, and real estate 
holdings will be mailed directly to your home.  You will be able to watch your pilot’s net 
worth grow.  You will also have information on how they chose to invest their salary 
when they eventually separate to take a commercial aviation job.
HOW WILL THEY KNOW I AM HELPING?

Your pilot will be told that he or she has a SPECIAL FRIEND that just wants to help.  
Although the pilot won’t know your name, he or she will be able to make collect calls to 
your home via a special operator in case they need more funds.
