Then there is Corey Boyle who wanted to earn his wings on his 17th Birthday - January 15. It seems the Boyle family was moving to Michigan and this was his last chance to fly in NJ. This day, the weather cooperated. Good luck Corey - we will miss you as our Webmaster.
Reminder: If you bring a student to Raritan Valley and the person enrolls, you will get a bonus of an hour free in a Cessna 152 when your friend solos. (Equivalent if you fly a different plane or fuel for your own.)
Editorial Clarification: Last month our wish list stated the desire for "qualified instructors". It should have read, "more qualified instructors". Oops!
Our sympathy to Mollie Haupt and the rest of the Haupt family on the untimely death of Bill and Sharon. Bill was a commercial pilot and a friend at 39N. We will miss them.
Welcome to Our Staff - CFII Trond Halverson. Trond, a Norwegian, who trained and worked in South Carolina, hopes to help our students reach their goals.
