We made National news this morning on the morning news magazine “CBS Saturday Morning”. It comes on about a minute into it. Check it out!

Award-winning photographer George Steinmetz has released his sixth book, "Feed the Planet." The book focuses on the people and places powering the world’s food chain, and highlights how those resources are increasingly under strain.

We recently did a free “systems” session in concurrence with the top cowl being off for an oil change. It was well attended so we will try to do another one on a different subject. What would you like to see next or in future sessions?

An interesting side note is that three of the things that discussed ironically happened within the next 10 days. We had a false low oil pressure indication due to a bad connection, a P-lead came off of a magneto leaving it “hot” (active) after shutdown, and we unfortunately had someone engage the starter into a running engine. A good pilot is always learning!

What do you want to see next for a free group session?

Congratulations to Jeremy Vetrone on earning his Private Pilot certificate today in the Skycatcher. We had to take two pictures after the checkride since the result had not yet been revealed. Bribing the examiner with his frequently ordered size AND flavor from Caribou Coffee sitting on the table when he arrived did not hurt either. (An example of some good ADM to start the test). Jeremy plans to pursue a professional pilot career. Great Job Jeremy!
