Would you like to be a star?

We received this earlier this week -- some of you might be interested :) It actually sounds cool, and I may apply myself.

We are looking for specific accomplishments. If you fall under any of the following categories, please email us a recent photo with your name, contact #'s, age, occupation and city and state you live in.

The Corona Air Faire!

Pilots!

The Corona Air Faire is back this year! This Saturday, the 7th, come check out planes, demos, food, music, and fun -- and this year it has been coordinated by our own Office Manager, Beth! Beth has worked tremendously hard on this event, and we expect it will pay dividends for everyone on the field!

Admission is cheap ($5 includes parking!) and goes to support the Corona Pilot's Association!

This was a good time last year, and we expect an even better time this year! Come out and see some aviation!

Cessna 68U has completed her 100hr inspection.

Cessna 20U is preparing for extended downtime. Stay tuned for more details.

We expect the "lightness of the office" to conclude next week sometime. I want to thank everybody for your patience with us during this time - it has helped a lot!

Cool temperatures - clear skies! Autumn in Corona is the best time to fly.

Blue Skies!

20U down for further inspection

Hi Gang,

A quick jot - As you may have noticed, Cessna 20U is still maintenanced out, pending some inspection and possible repair to her engine. We are waiting for the safety determination, but are making plans for a major repair just in case the news is bad.

The good news is that we caught this VERY early - so we have a number of options. I will report back on what path we decide to walk when the time comes.

Apologies to 172 pilots - the schedule is likely to get squeezed a bit.

More as I know it! Blue Skies!
