Congratulations, New Airplane Owner & Tie Down, Mike Darder & your Piper Cherokee.  And good luck to the new partnerahip in the Piper Saratoga with Peter Tracey and Kurt Holstein.

April 28th, 1967
     Dick Nierenberg decides to change careers--from selling furniture to running an airport.  It seemed very logical then.

Staff Additions and Departures…
Good luck to Sean O'Halloran who will be pursuing other endeavors.  Welcome to Pia Eerikainen-Moren and Tom McDonough Jr., our new flight coordinators, who are busy learning to speak "aviation".  We also welcome Carsten Holmes as a part time CFI.  And finally, a hearty welcome to A&P, John Loftus, who will help move the planes out of the shop more readily.

     A BFR must have a minimum of one hour of air and one hour of ground, however the pilot must meet standards for the CFI for the biennial which lasts 24 calendar months.
     The Pilot Proficiency Program is three hours of recurrent training and attendance at a Safety Seminar.  It can count as a BFR if it is completed within the 24 calendar months and it only counts for one year.
Note:  Most CFIs will not sign you off for a biennial in the minimum if you don't meet standards, so just getting 3 hours won't guarantee a sign-off.
     If you still have any questions, talk to an instructor.

     In the early '80s when we were at Kupper Airport, Mike Cunniff joined the flight school staff as a new flight instructor.  After a year or so, he moved on to the Air Force.  Now, Mike is a base customer with a family and a Bonanza, however he is also a Lt. Col. Michael Cunniff who has been flying home land security missions on a daily basis.  He has now been deployed to the Middle East where he is flying in operation enduring freedom.  He is flying overseas with Enduring Freedom.  We wish Mike and his family well during these trying times, and look forward to his safe return.

Drive & taxi Carefully…
Now that the grounds have been seeded and the ground is soft, please exercise caution on the ground.  Don't park on the grass nor go cross country--you will tick off the airport manager.

Some planes are posted and sold quickly--they don't even make it to the bulletin board. 
     See Ken or Dick.

This seminar will be a combination of a video and the flight instructor giving you practical advice for the safest flying.
