Congratulation to Gary Sumner for completing his CFI training and checkride and becoming the clubs newest instructor.
Congratulations to Cameron for his first solo. Keep up the flying!
One of our members had a recent experience with this. He must have done something right as he is still among us and is willing to be poked, prodded and otherwise questioned on what happened. It will provide a good learning experience for all of us: the VFRers can learn what Plan B, Plan C, etc , should be (just to let you know, doing a 180 made things worse) and the IFRers can do the coaching and share their experiences

On Tuesday night, May 17th, Brandon Hughett taught a course on Mountain Flying at the Knoxville Flight Training Center located on Downtown Island Airport. Brandon is the president of the Knoxville Flight Training Center and considered to be an expert on mountain flying in the Appalachians, The class was sponsored by the Knoxville Flyers as part of our quarterly Hangar Flying series. This was a very real cost-saving opportunity for our club members to receive excellent ground (and flying) instruction by an extremely qualified mountain flying instructor.

On Friday, May 6th, Club Member Bill Stone earned his Private Pilot's license. Bill always dreamed of flying airplanes and in 1982 he began working on his pilots license in a Cessna 150 at a small grass strip in South Carolina. Work demands forced him to suspend his training about two-thirds of the way through. Then all the demands of life - job, marriage, raising a family - kept his dream on hold.
