Please join me in congratulating the newest U.S. Private Pilot in the world -- one Pilot Chuck M., who earned his wings yesterday in Cessna 739 with DPE Andrea E.
Way to go, Chuck!
In other news...
We have a new CFI joining our faculty! Please give a FlyC welcome to Matt C. when you meet him -- Matt is definitely "our" personality, and highly knowledgeable about IFR work, including some of the more experimental and esoteric techniques and weather products available to pilots. Matt is a great addition to the Faculty, and we're happy to have him!
Welcome aboard, Matt!
Some maintenance news I know about:
Cessna 630 will go down for 100hr next week.
Cessna 68U completed her Annual on Monday. She will go down in 3 weeks for engine overhaul. We expect no more than a 10 day downtime.
Cessna 739 will go in her her 100hr soon.
Cessna 17J is sporting her 9th transponder now. We have mailed middle-fingers to Garmin over their uncanny ability to sell us 7-month transponder with 6-month warranties.
Bonanza 11N will go in for Oil Change today.
Skylane 073 has a new ELT battery.
Cessna 526 has a new Radio enroute, due Friday.
We have plans for another Tracon tour, possibly in mid-April. This means that if you missed the last one due to citizenship/security theater, now is the time to get some clearances going. Please email the office at fly@flycorona.com to start the process.
We will select dates based on how long the clearances will take. We understand typically 30 days.

We're tired of wind, rain, and hail. Bring out spring already!
Blue Skies!
