Spring City Aviation, Inc. News Letter, August 2010 Hi Everyone, Thanks for checking in on this month's News Letter. First off, thanks to everyone who participated in our fly-out, originally planned for Clow International (IC5). While the weather did not allow a trip to the original destination, fun was had by all on a flight to Lone Rock. Our fly-outs are a great way to put your license to good use, get some good training towards your certificate or rating, or just have some fun, and we've always got something in the works. Our next event will take place on Saturday, August 28th. We will be flying out to Abel Island, Iowa (GAA). Join us on a great flight to a beautiful airport right on the Mississippi River! Sign up today with your favorite airplane and/or instructor; briefing will be at 9:30 with departures will starting at 10:00am. For more on the fly-in at Abel Island (what to bring, etc.), check out the website Here! _____________________________________________________________________________________ Speaking of fly-outs, everyone is getting set for our fishing trip to secluded Deer Lake lodge in Ontario, Canada. Start planning for next year and you can join us!
_____________________________________________________________________________________ You might see a new face around the school; that would be Paul Neils, our new CFI. Paul comes to us fresh off of two years instructing at a fast-paced flight school in Arizona. He brings experience in a variety of aircraft and the ability to teach at the private, instrument and commercial levels. Make sure to stop by and say hi! _______________________________________________________________________ If your Biennial Flight Review is coming due soon, sign up for our BFR Refresher Course, which will be held Sunday, September 12th, 1:00pm at the Waukesha County Airport's Main Terminal conference room. Get up to speed on all the required subject areas for your BFR with our convenient and informative refresher course, taught by Certified Ground Instructor Tim Tyre. Successful completion of the course and written test qualifies as the Ground portion of your Flight Review; then, you have only to complete the flight portion with one of our qualified CFI's! The cost is $75.00, sign up today!
