Summer is almost here, so now is the time to get off the couch and take to the air – so fly for breakfast in New York; go for a day trip to Block island or Tangier Island; and go swimming at the beach by flying to Ocean City. You can even visit the family and say you cannot stay long because of “aviation ” things. Just enjoy the longer days and summer weather. FLY!!! |
Give Dad a day to remember… Take him flying. Give him Introductory Flying Lesson. Take him flying to a restaurant at some far off airport. Give him flying lessons. How about fuel for his favorite aircraft? Just give him a great day. SUNDAY, JUNE 19th. |

From the Right Seat Assistant Chief Pilot – Peter Rafle I was thinking about the past fifty two and a half years of flying, and what I loved most and least about aviation. My list of the least loved aspects is very short. Simply put, I just decided to avoid those as best I can, and devote myself to the good times. The early best moment was the first solo at Baron Field near Pensacola. On a cold February day, a Beech T-34B, and an instructor who was not looking forward to standing on a deserted airfield while his “Nugget” student did three takeoffs and landings. “Make it quick!” was all he said. Back at Saufley Field, I went through the traditional cutting of my tie to mark this significant point on my path to become a Naval Aviator. |

NEW NEWS About ADS-B  WHY WAIT – Get free traffic & weather. The FAA has mandated that all airplanes will be required to have ADS-B by 2020. This equipment will provide radar centers more information for better traffic flow, plus many other benefits. Garmin has just announced its new GTX 335 & 345 which is now available. We have had a very positive response to this news and people are scheduling their upgrade. Price: “Out” – start $3495 installed. “In & Out” – start $4995 installed. Check the Garmin website for more information: http://ads-b.garmin.com/en-US ADSB solutions for G-1000 approved ( see Jeff or Ken) If you need assistance, please speak with Ken 609-731-4628. NOTE: Just completed the 20th ADSB installation and everyone states why the extra safety with traffic is awesome and they will never fly without it again. |
