INSTRUMENT GROUND
SCHOOL CLASS???

   We have a sign-up sheet for the Instrument Class--however we need about 5 more students.  Bryan Boyle, who has successfully taught many Private Course Classes, is anxious to  teach the IRA class.
   The class would be on a Tuesday night from 7:00-10:00 p.m.  In addition to the Jeppesen Advanced Package, the cost will be $75.00.  The course will run 12-13 weeks.  That's a bargain.
   CALL TODAY & WE WILL GET STARTED IN EARLY FEBRUARY!

Welcome to 39N, Christine Gruendman and your Cessna 172.
