Quite cold around the airport of late. Morning flyers, dress warm :)
Please join me in congratulating United States Private Pilot Tom F., who got his wings yesterday in Cessna 20U. Tom flew with our favorite DPE Ken Earl (www.wingspanaviation.com), on a cold and foggy Thursday morning. Look for Tom to be flying overhead and chuckling at the 91fwy traffic below :)
Congratulations, Tom!

In maintenance land, Cessna 08V is undergoing break-in of her new engine and prop. After a litany of small and annoying problems, she is finally gearing up to return to the line.
Cessna 72F is grounded pending arrival of a new Voltage Regulator, which nobody seems to have in stock. It was due Monday, and is now "any day". Apparently our 150s are conspiring against us, but we're working on them.
Cherokee 08F had her entire radio panel rewired this week, as well as replacing her inctercom, which had been proven faulty. With the addition of a Copilot PTT, look for 08F to be a reliable and solid communicator.
Should be a beautiful weekend for flying -- go grab some sky!
