Polish those apples!

Pilots!

Hot off of the sog-storm, we are proud to relay that the airport is fine and did not submerge -- this time. It was definitely drenched, but no lasting damage was reported on the airfield.

Funny how the east end suddenly had a lot more aircraft on it. Chino and Riverside too. :)

Weather was great for flying this weekend, and we have a brief tantrum to deal with this afternoon, then back to good and blue skies. Huzzah!

In that train of thoughts:

Cessna 17J is back from Toms with some new pieces. PFD reported operative again, sorry for the downtime.

Cessna 25R's motor and prop are complete. Now for some darn gear doors...



FAA Testing is changing!

Time to dust off those study guides... FAA is imposing some interesting new test center criteria nationwide.. which of course means new fees. Because the $10 hike last quarter wasn't enough.

Beginning March 1, All FAA Testing is going up a whopping $50, which brings most tests to $150 total. Gasp!

This is all testing centers nationwide, both CATS (which we are) and Lasergrade. We just found out last night, and now you know -- get cracking on those books! :)



We are stalking the wild 182...

We are stalking the wild 150...

We are looking suspiciously at the occasional Citabria...

Blue Skies,
