Sun was out but not too hot, people volunteered to give 05D a bath (many thanks to the plane-washing team!) and there was plenty of food for all who turned up March 23rd for our first Plane Wash BBQ of 2014! Here are some photos as things were just getting started:
Yesterday (3-22-2014) Troy Tompkins was relieved of the extra dead weight and hot air that is immediately to his right. He performed 3 touch and goes on a busy afternoon with beautiful weather (although a tad bump at TPA) flawlessly.
In his own words upon engine shutdown and door opening..”It floated like a bird in the flare”.
Great Job Troy!

Spring is just around the corner, which means it’s almost BBQ season!

NOAA Seabird Protection and VFR Chart Session Seminar (February 25, 2014)
Thanks to Mai Maheigan from the Seabird Protection Network, Gulf of the Farallones National Marine Sanctuary, an NOAA affiliate, for tonight’s seminar. We learned some valuable info on the marine life and seabirds, our coastline, and our Wildlife Refuge Areas and National Marine Sanctuary areas. Thanks to Liz Sommers, Chief Pilot for the informal VFR chart presentation. Fly Safe!
UPDATE: for links and downloads about this seminar please visit the article.
Early December 2013, AAC members, family and friends gathered in the clubhouse for food, drink and conversation – and trying out the clubhouse flight simulator. Turnout was great even with the rain and a good time was had by all!
Congratulations to Shannon Rubicam – 3 landings at KOAK on 28L!!
