Up, Up, and Away

Mary flew commercial to Las Vegas in July. She also flew to Mt. Victory for lunch in a Super Cub. She also took her daughter Elizabeth for an airplane ride.

Barb Deeds and friend enjoyed the Dayton Airshow!

Connie & Ray Copeland flew to Fort Wayne for lunch in July.

Terri and Tracy went to Oshkosh for the EAA Airventure, for the week! Terri also recently flew her IFR X-country from OSU to Toledo Express to Muncie and back. She and instructor enjoyed lunch at Muncie’s Vincent’s Restaurant.

Janie and Woody have done some local flying. Janie also flew commercial to Ft. Myers, FL.

Janet Barnard has been flying a 172 and a Colt on various flights. She’s been busy tearing out a 172 headliner, making a new one, and installing it. One thing led to another . . . now the luggage compartment, backseat, sideliners, and carpet are out, being worked on or waiting to be worked on!

Paula flew the Grumman Traveler to the Keweenaw Peninsula--which is on the northern side of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula—to meet Hal, who was already there touring the copper mines. They spent a week on the Peninsula and the Isle Royale National Park, studying geologic structures and enjoying the wildlife. Paula then flew back, leaving Hal to another 1-1/2 weeks of geologist’s heaven. The following weekend, Paula took a colleague and his 4-1/2-year-old son for a tour over Columbus, Powell, and Delaware. It was little Will’s first flight—and he loved it!
