Despite frumpy weather, the Corona Air Faire was quite fun this year, with a large turnout and some fun displays. We fared much better than Miramar, who had to cancel their show. Many thanks to those who stoped by to say hello, and of course, the FlyC staff who were exceptional this year. (most notably Nick and Carlos -- thanks guys!)
Piper 85Y is nearly done with her 100hr. We discovered a part in the landing gear doors which needs attention. We expect her online by week's end.
Cessna 08V is still awaiting parts. ETA end of week for her also.
Cessna 20U is back in action this week
Cessna 1ES is due for her 100hr/Annual soon. We have checkrides scheduled in her, so we will be taking her down early and in the evening, and hope to sneak the inspection through with minimum downtime. If we find something we don't like, though, there is potential for downtime. Cross fingers.
Cessnas 68U and 17J keep on trucking. Thanks girls!
We are on an avionics witch-hunt this week. We aim to replace indicators and radios and things which have been "inop" over the course of the coming weeks. Our intention is to replace these items during inclement weather. Please alert the office if there are squawks which are bugging you with the planes, so they can be slipped into this scheme.
We expect to begin this work after we wrap up 85Y and 08V, and hopefully end the plane mutiny and move on to the small things which are piling up.
Blue Skies,
- Mike
