Happy New Year, I am excited about our first meeting this year with our guest speaker CarolAnn Garratt. I was fortunate enough to get to see her presentation while in Oshkosh last summer. Everyone who attended was thrilled with her retelling of a great adventure. She has video footage of some of her landings that make you feel like you are on the flight. Please spread the word and bring a friend along if you can. I was thinking it might be cool to try a newsletter again. I would welcome any help or ideas you might have. I hope everyone gets to fly more this year.....John January Picture of the Month  EAA445

Solo from Patty Wagstaff by Patty
Wagstaff 05/04/09 Chris Rudd, my new ferry pilot/crew chief, soloed today and I wasn't even nervous. As an instructor I don't believe in getting nervous. If the student isn't ready to solo or take their checkride, then you shouldn't send them off. I had great confidence in Chris after flying with him in a two seat Extra 300L a couple of times. After his flight, Denny, our operations man, poured a bottle of ice cold water on him. He didn't cringe at the cold because he'd been sweating...Good job Chris! We are off to Branson on Wednesday. I fly the Cirrus, Chris in the Extra for his first formation cross country flight. Febs
