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 |
