Please enjoy a safe holiday season, and contemplate the good fortune we all enjoy as aviators. We are thankful to share the sky with each of you, and will hoist a turkey slice in honor of the awesome club that we are a part of.
The Fly Corona office will be closed tomorrow, Thursday, in observance of Thanksgiving. Fuel service will remain available.
Some maintenance things I know about:
Cessna 630 is cruising.
Cessna 68U is being slowly glued back together.
Cessna 20U is flying around.
Cessna 739 is wrapping up her wing repairs. We found a spot of corrosion in an odd part of the wing, which means we had to peel the entire wing like an orange. Those of you interested in the complex and beautiful structure inside of an airplane wing should poke your head into the hangar. It's exquisite. We hope for 739's return next week.
Cessna 25R is likely to be totalled, not to return to the flightline, as expected. We are contemplating replacing her with another 172FG, an Arrow RG, or a 182 FG. Good 172RGs seem to be in short supply, and we're a little miffed at the $30,000 parts quote just for flimsy little gear doors and quarter-cowl pieces. I think Cessna's parts department is the REAL turkey here.
Cessna 1ES will be down for Annual next week. We figure her to be gone for a week.
Cessna 17J is cruising.

Enjoy your holiday!
