Pilots,
Insane Winds are around this week -- someone left the fan on somewhere. We're still managing to get some flying done, however.
The Tanker operations have completed as of Saturday. We will miss John the advisory guy, but word around the campfire is that the tankers themselves won't be too sorely missed. I thought they were cool anyway.
In other news... CFI Dave has earned himself some stripes! Dave will be flying the Brazilia for Sky West, based locally, and wearing a spiffy Bus Driver Hat. Please give Dave your congratulations when you see him next, as he will be responsible for your next regional flight, and whether you receive the correct bag of peanuts.
Congrats, Dave!
Dave's last day with the FlyC family will be 1/31, and we will miss him around the ranch.
That picture scares me a little.

Piper 85Y turned out not to have a crack in her tip tanks after all -- it was just a crack in the paint itself. We are having the tanks repainted now and expect her back on the line shortly. Whew. Better safe than sorry, we think.

Blue Skies,
