This is a somber day at the FlyC ranch, for our beloved CFI/CFII/MEI Shannon C. has left us in pursuit of a higher challenge.
Apparently all of his attempts to squeeze between mock red-barons, flights of 5, taxiway and grass landings, nordo, cutoffs, acrobatics, and all the other hullabaloo that is a Saturday morning at Corona - have taken their toll. Yes, CFI Shannon has demanded a cannon on his next set of wings.
A large cannon. Shannon will be destined to fly the A-10 Warthog, a machine designed to convert opposing tanks into confetti, and opposing livestock into a shower of jerky bits, all at the twitch of his finger.
.......oh yeah, let's give THIS guy a gun!
Best wishes, Shannon -- save us some teriyaki style! :)

CFI Spencer has expanded his hours to help fill the gap. Roman, Alex, Chris, and Dave also stand ready to keep the flightline going. Please contact the office if you were a Shannon student, and we can pair you up with a worthy replacement.

Cessna 04H, we believe, has finally had her electrics figured out. Cross fingers.
Cessna 1ES completed her 100hr.
Piper 85Y has completed an "IFR checkup" to make sure she's in prime form for cloud-busting, also to adjust an odd sidetone on her radios.

Rain is expected this weekend. I've noticed that every CFI has taken Saturday off, so it should be quiet around the ranch.
Also, in what I am told is a pure coincidence, the Red Bull Air Races are also going on this weekend in San Diego. Worth a look!
Blue Skies, upright Cessnas (please) !
