FROM THE
EDITOR’S DESK
Greetings and Salutations to you
All!
This past Saturday the 28th, a sizable
portion of the membership assembled at Bollin Field to enjoy fine flying
weather. Jerry Mingo, Bill Hermes and Jerry west were kept busy in between
their own flying, teaching us novice flyers the finer points of making
holes in the sky. I had a bit of excitement when my Tower Trainer
40 “Patches” flamed out on take-off. I was on the buddy box with Bill Hermes
on the main Control. Bill landed the aircraft in a clearing between a forest
of trees. Thanks to Bill’s fine maneuvering the aircraft sustained very
minor damage. All in all, it was a fine day! Thanks to all the instructors!
You guys are Great!
Happy Flying |
