January doldrums got you down? Just think, it is only 36 days until Daylight Savings Time and 48 days ’til Spring. In the interim the plane loves to fly in the cold weather – it’s much more responsive, so get a bird’s eye view of the area all covered with white.
“OUR KING”
Our mentor and leader, Dick Nierenberg, has been in the hospital since the end of December and we all miss him dearly. We miss his words of wisdom, his humor, and his very presence. The family would like to thank all of you who have called and shared our wish for a full recovery.

Effective immediately we are discontinuing snail mail in favor of digital billing. We will not only save on postage, paper and time, we will be more efficient and improve the environment at the same time.
UAS, drones, multi-rotor copters, quad rotor, octocopter are just some of the names of the small, remote controlled small flying machines that have many people agitated. I am not talking about model airplanes that look like the full sized airplanes they are built to represent. The ones that are getting all the press lately are those plastic machines, you can buy at Sharper Image and other places, having four or eight rotors powered by electric motors. Controlled by the radio they have been eagerly supported by hobbyists. But, now commercial interests want to use them in a wide range of applications the cold place them in a conflict with commercial and general aviation airplanes that have real live people in them.
Editor’s Note: If you haven’t sat and chatted with Pete, this is a great opportunity as he is a walking encyclopedia about aviation and life.
