In this Episode of the Hangar Deck Podcast, the team interviews US Navy Captain Curt Phillips, President of the Maritime Patrol Association (MPA) and US Navy Captain Rich Heimerle (ret.), National Director of the MPA.  The MPA is a non-profit professional organization for the Maritime and Patrol Reconaissance Force (MPRA) community. 
The Maritime Patrol Association, Inc (MPA) was founded in 2011 to provide recognition and to enhance the prestige of the U.S. Maritime Patrol and Reconnaissance community by promoting the use of the patrol and reconnaissance aircraft in the United States Navy. In pursuing these objectives, MPA will provide a forum whereby past, present and future MPA members can: interact and network with each other through a variety of meetings and events and media; provide recognition to those persons who have made significant contributions to the community.
