This afternoon Margaret Borth defied gravity in our trusty Cessna 172 N6605D. It was a beautiful day, light winds, and medium traffic at Oakland Airport. Hats off to Maggie and make sure to congratulate her if you see her in the clubhouse or at the next BBQ! Great Job.
She even commented how her landings were much better without the dead weight and hot exhaust that originates from the right seat.

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!

Congratulations to Charlie Croom who soloed today! Charlie beat the fog in, taking off 33, with 2 touch and goes on 27R, then a low pass 27R with a full stop on 33!
Way to go Charlie!

Jay had some very nice cross wind landings today on 27, so went out and proved that he could do it by himself with 3 touch and goes on 27R!
Way to go Jay!

Despite being thrown several curveballs as the Oakland Tower switched runways and traffic patterns, on this warm Autumn afternoon Susan Bell unceremoniously dumped her Flight Instructor on the side of Runway 9R, and experienced the joys of solo flight for the first time, executing 5 very nice touch and go’s.
Congratulations Susan!
