CJP’s 2025 Convention again featured a robust slate of activities for Companions, including FlightSafety’s Companions Ground School featuring information on how to be safest in your airplane and assisting during an emergency.

Companions also enjoyed activities including an extraordinary hour with award-winning magician Ben Jackson, and a fireside chat with internationally acclaimed figure skater Tara Lipinski, winner of the gold medal at the 1998 Nagano Olympics at the age of 15.
CJP member Dr. Michael Seidman also presented the session, “How to Live for 150 Years,” with a host of wellness tips based on his 30 years of practicing medicine and research on “mitochondrial DNA deletions, telomeres and free radicals and reactive oxygen species.
“Aeromedical issues are relevant and important to every aviator, but I think tips on how to live 150 healthy years – which I think is possible – is relevant to every person on this planet,” Seidman continued.
Other Companion events included a morning at the JW Marriott’s luxurious Lantana Spa; a guided nature walk; and private golf lessons at The Learning Center at TPC San Antonio.
