New Wings!

Pilots!

Please join me in congratulating the newest Private Pilot in the world, one Private Pilot Jake M.!

Jake scored his wings in Cessna 739 with DPE Mark D at Chino. Nice work, Jake!

In other news,

We have heard that there is a local examiner who has lowered his checkride fee to $400, $200 retake. Inquire with the office for details.



Those of you who expressed interest in the Cherokee Six -- I apologize for the lengthy time to reply -- we are still ironing out details.

It appears that we will need 5 people to commit, and the plane will be available for $50/hr dry (half of what it was before), however, there will be a monthly fee as well for access. Yes, we may have finally (after 5 years of trying) figured out the Flying Club game. More as I know it.

And some maintenance stuff:

Cessna 20U is down currently for 100hr, with an expected return of Tue/Wed.

Cessna 1ES will be down for her 100hr on Monday, with an expected return of Tue/Wed.

Cessna 17J's transponder will likely be removed next week for Garmin to look it over. Everyone locally is baffled.

Cessna 25R is cruising.

Good times!

Blue Skies,

- Mike
