On May 20, Chapter 1610 Pilots and Ground Crews treated 52 Young Eagles (and 2 adults) to the joys of General Aviation flying. It was truly a CAVU day!! Mother Nature provided us with clear skies, calm winds and mild temperatures...for most of the morning, anyway. By 11 am is was getting a bit bumpy. But the enthusiasm prevailed.
We had 6 pilots: Trudi Amundson, Kent Nordell, Craig Rodamaker, Mark Crist, Adam Siemers and Mark Bearss. And...we had 8 groundcrew persons who coordinated and facilitated the check-in process. Thank-you’s go to Mike Petersen, Michelle and Joe Lambert, Dick Piepgras, Corrin Roberts, Donna Nordell, Jane Haubrich, and Gordon Hart.
The day was a huge success; lots of excitement and smiles. We had a few no-shows but there were also a couple of walk-ins.
