<\/p>\n\n\n

Here is Jon with his cake.  Click here for more pictures<\/a> from Jon’s party. <\/p>\n

History Trivia: <\/strong>Did you know that Goodyear made an inflatable airplane?  It was called the Inflatoplane<\/a>. It was to be used by the US military as a rescue plane to be dropped  behind enemy lines.  Only 12 were made.  It did prove to be an airworthy airplane.<\/span>  <\/span><\/p>\n

If you enjoy history we have a new aviation history fact each day at the bottom of our webpages<\/a>.  Some days there may be more than one, just refresh the page.  And if you like Beatles history, checkout our Events Calendar<\/a> and select the Beatles category.  This is a work in progress, we’re building the most comprehensive calendar of important dates in Beatle history.<\/p>\n

For those that like to stick with current news, we have an aviation news ticker on our home page<\/a>.  This is updated daily to show the current aviation news.<\/p>\n

Achievements & Special Recognition<\/strong>:  This month we’re highlighting several high achievers and outstanding pilots.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Katie passed her Instrument Instructor checkride with Harry.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Katie scored a 100 on her Instrument Flight Instructor Knowledge Test.  Excellent job!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 Harry has another high achiever.  Sharon passed her initial flight instructor checkride earlier this month.  Sharon scored 100 percent on the FOI and the Flight Instructor Knowledge Test.  Great job Sharon.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Brian passed his Private Pilot checkride.  Brian is a very smooth pilot and has a good “feel” for the plane.  This probably comes from his years of riding motorcycles and boating.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Rachel passed her private pilot checkride earlier this month. She did it just a few months passed her 17th birthday. Now she can fly a plane anywhere in the world, however she cannot drive a car by herself. She is pictured here with her parents.  This is surely and accomplishment that deserves some special recognition.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Kathleen passed her initial flight instructor checkride earlier this month.  She already has a job lined up to flight instruct part time.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Melissa<\/a> earned her commercial pilot certificate.  Melissa learned to fly in a Cessna 140 and it shows in her flying.  She is a great stick and ruder pilot.  She earned her instrument rating in Alaska, so she has a lot of experience.  She will hopefully get her CFI checkride in with Harry in early October.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Instructors, what to highlight your students first solo or other achievement here?  Just send us a short write-up and a picture or two<\/a> and we’ll post it here for you.  Click here<\/a> for our contact info.<\/p>\n

Aviation\/Aviators in the news<\/strong>: <\/span>Xwing has been operating a Cessna Caravan for a number of years.  What is newsworthy about this you ask?  Their aircraft do not have pilots.  They have actually operated passenger carrying flights with no pilot onboard. Click here for the full story<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Ofir Daniel<\/a> passed her instrument checkride today with Harry earlier this month. She did it in less than a month after her private pilot checkride. She did both under Part 141 which involves a lot of classroom time.  She did a great job keeping the needles centered the entire flight.<\/div>\n

The aviation section of the Flymall<\/a> is full of aviation news, training info, and much more for the aviator.<\/p>\n

Harry’s friend and flight school owner Brenda<\/a> flew a turtle from Florida to Chicago in their new Tecnam multi-engine trainer aircraft . Pistachio (an endangered Kemp\u2019s Ridley sea turtle) has been at the Florida Aquarium during her rehabilitation. She was hit by a boat and suffered severe injuries. She is not releasable.  Brenda & Bravo Flight Training<\/a> flew the turtle to it’s new home in Chicago, at the Brookfield Zoo.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Not really a prototype, however, still a rarity. Here is a 1956 MAZ-541,  a Soviet aircraft tug. Only 3 were built. Powered by a 38.8L D-12A<\/a><\/i> V12 diesel that produced 500 Brake Horsepower.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Animals in the headlines<\/strong>:  An old friend of Harry’s (Matt Thurber<\/a>), recently flew a sea turtle named Berni (an olive ridley sea turtle), from Boeing Field in Seattle to Sea World San Diego today.  Berni is an endangered species and was being flown to Sea World in San Diego for rehab and to be release back in to the wild.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n
