Please join me in congratulating US Private Pilot Wes M., who today earned his wings in Cessna 08V, with DPE Tom Hamm.
Congratulations, Wes!
Cessna 17J returns today from Long Beach after having her copilot door repaired. We still do not know the cause of the door jamming the way it did, but it bears mentioning: The co-pilot door is both locked and unlocked from the inside of the aircraft in 17J. It appears that someone attempted to force entry from the co-pilot side, and did so with enough force to shear part of the door latch mechanism. Please be kind to our aircraft, and ask the office if something seems to be requiring too much effort.

Cessna 68U will be in for 100hr this week.

We are on an AROW document witch-hunt. We have ordered new Airworthiness and Registration cards for the entire fleet, since one plane was found to have a ratty A/W card. Please inform the office if your aircraft's POH or Weight/Balance sheets appear to be illegible or incomplete in ANY way, so that we may replace them promptly.
Great flying lately. Grab some sky.
Blue Skies!
- Mike
