5 years ago on March 14-15, 2020, I took what turned out to be the last in-person FIRC (Flight Instructor Renewal Course) offered by AOPA Air Safety Institute (ASI). This one was in Santa Clara CA but other locations also had them that weekend. The next day, March 16, 2020 all 9 Bay Area counties went into COVID lockdown to prevent St Patrick's Day parties from becoming superspreader events. AOPA ASI did not resume in-person instruction for FIRCs after the pandemic.
