Pilots!
Quite a few doings lately around the ranch... Here are some things of note:
First, please join me in congratulating newly-minted Private Pilot Nick G., who scored his wings on Sunday with DPE Mark D. in Cessna 739. Nick was able to scud-run his way to victory. Way to go, Nick!
Next, another Private Pilot pulled down a set of wings -- join me in congratulating Private Pilot Adrian B., who sailed through his checkride yesterday in Cessna 61Q!
Way to go, gentlemen!

I know some maintenance things too!
Do you know how sometimes girls will all get up to go to the restroom at the same time? Yeah, it's kinda like that this week...
Cessna 61Q completed her oil change.
Cessna 68U is down for an engine roughness issue.
Cessna 739 is not bothering anyone. Thanks 739!
Cessna 94M is halfway through her new landing gear saddle.
Cessna 63B is awaiting the engine swamis to discuss a periodic RPM drop.
Cessna 17J is due back next week. Nobody reaallllly thought it would be this week, did they? Silly pilots. :)
Bonanza 11N has completed her Annual with the addition of a spinner cone.
Well, what the heck?!
As always, despite some rather intense schedule pressures, we cannot dispatch a plane with maintenance concerns -- so we ground them rather than kick them into the sky and hope they run right. The downside is -- occasional group trips to the hangar. Sorry, pilots! Bear with us and we'll get the flightline righted by the weekend.

The weather is pretty much perfect. Not too hot, clear as a bell, not even that windy. So nice for some air therapy. :)
...More as I know it!
Blue Skies,
