A quick update...

Hello Pilots,

Forgive the tardiness of this, but I need to call attention to some superstars in the FlyC family lately:

Wednesday evening, Cessna 04H screamed through her 100hr in 5 hours (a new record), from 6pm - 11pm. One might think this was some ham-fisted pencil-whipping, but it was far from it! In fact, we were able to accomplish this by using 2 A&Ps, with 2 FlyC line folks, an infusion of in n out hamburgers, and a very loud selection of music.

So, having made this new record, inspecting, cleaning, and repairing all discovered squawks on 04H in very short order, and returning her to the flightline the next morning, I extend a warm Thanks! to:

Scott D, FAA-Certified A&P
Mike A, FAA-Certified A&P
John B, FlyC Volunteer Line
Kevin W, FlyC Student and Volunteer Line

04H's DG puzzles everyone who has looked at it. We have a new one on order. Sorry for the hypnosis, we expect its repair soon!

Cessna 68U's new interior plastics have arrived. These will be installed sometime soon.

Cessna 08V has an inop/intermittent CDI. We will be replacing this shortly with a new unit.

Chino airport is having an air show this weekend, but we have not heard word of any TFRs in effect. Pilots, get weather briefings or you may end up dogfighting beautifully restored P-51s and B-17s with your Skyhawk! (hint: your defeat is assured!)

Fly Safe,
