Quarterly member gathering with plane wash, BBQ, thrice around and celebration of Wally Johnson’s (former Apollo test pilot and former AAC president) 98th birthday with 3 touch and goes!
After thoroughly testing our upgraded club simulator in 50 knot crosswind and windshear instrument approaches, Cody Nguyen did a “beautiful” job on his instrument checkride with DPE Ashley Snider in LHM. Congratulations, and onwards to CPL then CFI Cody!
After several scheduling snafu’s, Rich Conté felt compelled to conduct Matthew Tisdale’s checkride at KOAK. After probing the depth of Matthew’s knowledge the flight portion went well and we have another private pilot in our club. Congratulations Matthew!
The weather cooperated, the traffic was light and captain Allen was ready. In no small part due to Clarence Binninger’s excellent instruction before me, Scott’s pattern work and landings were textbook. Congratulations Scott!
