"Stick" Our Former Chief Instructor
Nov. 10th, 1922 - May 10th, 2013 [obituary]
A wonderful guy, talented pilot and instructor. Stick was an inspiration and mentor to all members that have been around East Hill for a while! I personally started flying with him in 1985 and took instrument through CFI (and instrument CFI) from this gentleman. A life well lived, we will miss him--DStG

We Are Lucky to Have CFI Kenny! Meet and Greet Sat. (11th) at 10am
 |
 |
| Kenny has three teenagers at home (one or two will probably become pilots!) |
Probably not too hard to give up the paperwork and busywork but saying goodbye to the big Cessna Caravan and the Jet Ranger...tough! Come meet Kenny this Saturday! |

"As your constituent, I’m writing to you today regarding the news that the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is planning on closing the Ithaca tower that serves our airport and many of the businesses and constituents you represent. Closing our tower, that is part of the Federal Contract Tower program, will have a devastating effect on air travel, air safety and the economics of our local community here in Ithaca.
Ithaca has three busy airlines and also an FAA Part 141 flight school with eight planes operating continuously. With 47,203 total annual aircraft operations and 238,270 annual airline passengers, Ithaca's control tower is vital for the safety of our travelers and the small general aviation planes that operate daily supporting our vigorous economy. Our diverse economic infrastructure, including Cornell University and Ithaca College, depend on efficient air travel for connections into the world that supports our global economy.
There are 29 control towers with fewer operations than Ithaca that are NOT on the FAA closure list – (including Brooksville, FL (BKV) with only 8,574 operations) There are also 32 towers NOT on the list with fewer than ITH’s total air carrier/taxi operations! On behalf of all Americans who rely on the Federal Contract Tower program and the aviation system as a whole, I urge you and your colleagues to focus on a solution to our nation’s fiscal crisis and stop the closure of our tower. Sincerely Yours....."

This is getting a lot of attention in the media. AOPA is sending one of their editors (NJ based pilot with an Arrow) to fly along with us and do a story! We have seats still in Skyhawks and several owner-members are along and have slots. Please sign-up at the club or here on line. For pilots this is all VFR and is an easy trip but you are required to do the training on FAA Safety website. Here is the link to the course.
