J-B Private Pilot

←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)

Clouds dictate diversion N1169T Outside restaurant at Hamilton
Clouds again prevented our Hudson Skyline Tour but we diverted over to Hamilton for lunch. Lots of different planes and fun people. See our Facebook for more photos and Lucja's Flickr archive of the trip. We had 20+ members and seven planes(Husky, Bonanza, Cirrus, Mooney, Cessnas) and we kept them busy at Hamilton!

Tweet on Stratus
With the Stratus portable ADS-B receiver, pilots can get in-flight weather via ForeFlight Mobile on our iPads. Weather products available include national and regional NEXRAD radar, METARs, TAFs, winds aloft, AIRMETS, SIGMETS, PIREPS, TFRs, and SUA information. Stratus is a wire-free, high-performance ADS-B weather receiver that was designed to work hand in glove with ForeFlight Mobile.
New Stratus ADS-B Receiver Tweet This tweet popped up that claims the box "paid for itself on one flight"

"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.
