We welcome into our training program

Dell Cross (Menasha,WI)

Herb Benton (Waukesha, WI)

Dan Kidd (Crystal Lake, IL)

Strong SW winds made the training hill a better option on Sunday afternoon rather than scooter towing. Rik (instructor) and the students had the added benefit of burning a few calories and lowering their carbon footprint for the day.

Dell Cross holds the wing steady while instructor Rik Bouwmeester takes a well deserved 30 second break. A special thanks to Terry Kramer for the use of his Falcon 195.

The second to last flight of the afternoon, Herb Benton does well and is looking forward to flying his Mosquito once he gets qualified.

Everyone left the airport happy and will be back for more training.
