LANTANA, Fla. - A pair of South Florida congressmen are urging the Federal Aviation Administration to take immediate action against a flight school that has been involved in three fatal crashes since October.
U.S. Reps. Ron Klein, D-Boca Raton, and Robert Wexler, D-Delray Beach, said they wanted the FAA to prioritize its review of Kemper Aviation of Lantana.

Their call for action came a day after four people, including Kemper Aviation's owner, were killed in a crash near West Palm Beach, and less than six months after two other fatal crashes involving Kemper-owned planes.

Eight people have died in the crashes. [Full article (http://www.jacksonville.com/apnews/stories/031508/D8VDTUJ04.shtml)]
