New CFI: Roland Koch

After grudgingly admitting defeat arguing about Bernoulli’s Law with physics PhD Roland Koch, examiner Richard Conte got his back by nitpicking on the power-off 180s. One week of practicing later, that hurdle fell and the club now has yet another CFI.

Former AAC chief pilot is captain of medical supply flight

Interesting article about a medical supply flight to and from China with a 747-400. The captain on that flight on the Anchorage, AK – JFK leg was David Moriconi, former CFII and chief pilot at the Alameda Aero Club.

Javier Bustos SOLO!!

Gorgeous skies and calm winds proved to be an excellent day for Javier Soto Bustos to do his first solo here at Oakland last Saturday! He was more than ready and proved it with three excellent landings (which Drew and I watched). Congratulations Javier on a job well done!
