I know a few things. :)
First, that rundown:
Cessna 61Q has completed an oil change
Cessna 526 will rejoin us next week with a new oil pump, finally.
Cessna 68U is rocking
Cessna 739 completed her 100hr today in pitstop style. Nice work, hangar!
Cessna 63B has a new battery
Cessna 17J's firewall is off. She may return next week.
Bonanza 11N has a new navcom 2.
Woof.
We have a line on a Piper Warrior and Cessna 172N who may join our flightline.
There is someone new on the schedule.
Meet Cessna 94M!
What happens when you take a midrange C172, add a fresh RAM 160hp upgrade, new paint, interior, and a WAAS-capable Garmin 430W GPS? You get a near-new Cessna Skyhawk, ready to tear into some serious VFR and IFR training!
Check her out:
Cessna 94M is being retrieved as we speak, and should join us on the flightline on Monday or Tuesday next week! And what's better, we were able to squeeze her onto the lineup for only $5/hr more than 739! Can't beat that!

Some other things I know about:
The Chino Airshow is this weekend! The Planes of Fame museum is an integral part of one of our best local airshows -- and since the weather is forecasted to be snotty anyway, why not go see some history?
More information is available here, and it is well worth the trip if you can make it.
There is just one week left to register for a visit to SoCal TRACON -- if you missed it the first time, I can highly recommend a visit. Meet with SoCal approach, meet the actual humans behind the scopes, and find out the inside scoop on how to navigate SoCal's airspace. Plus, you get to play on the training scopes and see what a job they have juggling airplanes around the sky -- it's quite a treat.
We are flying out Monday, May 23, at 9:00am or so, and will tour TRACON from 11-3. We will also make a lunch stop at Casa Machado before leaving Montgomery/San Diego field. Just a grand time.
Throw Beth a line in the office if you'd like to join us -- you can fly or drive to meet us there!
We have made the executive decision to limit Demo flights to 5 per day going forward. Our Groupon commitments are getting "outta hand" -- sorry for the schedule crunch, folks!

Maybe it will clear up tomorrow after all -- we can hope, right? By the way, if you check ASOS for weather, it has been reporting OVC001 erroneously. Check CNO weather to make the call. The FAA has been informed and they promise a fix soon.
I suppose it will be toasty here shortly and we can long for the overcast.
Til then -- Blue Skies!
