Congratulations Joel Heck: First Solo!

Wow, another guy with a low-time solo. Cornell was ending for the summer so pressure was on (only a little) A bit of crosswind but Joel was solid and put together a great performance..."never in question" (and yes we could re-use the plane too :)

Young Eagles Sat! "Pay it Forward"

Mike Thompson has been in China and only returns Thursday. Despite his travels he is volunteering to fly Young Eagles all day this Saturday! Mike is a scout leader and learned to fly after being inspired at a Boy Scout aviation event...now he is "paying it forward" by helping others discover his passion...aviation. Can't you spare a Saturday...let us know and show up to help

←Jean-Baptiste Earns US Private

An FAA certificate based on a foreign license ends up being somewhat limited so J-B took the tests and added his USA version (now he can add instrument rating)

"Pilot Community!"

Extensive research and studies reveal that what pilots really want is a sense of "pilot community." Flying Clubs are suddenly the hottest item in the news! Nominate East Hill for a "Flight Training Excellence Award" by taking this short survey. This is a very good study with lots of interesting ideas! They are really on to something here because despite hard economic times with 1/3 of flight schools going out of business, our organization has continued to grow and prosper. Pilots value participation and involvement. Flying with friends is more fun and continually a learning and growing experience.
