Matt and I flew over to Reynold's International for an EAA picnic. Lots of cool older plans and grizzled pilots.

Hey pilots; Geneseo airshow is July 14th thru 16th and Oshkosh is July 24th thru the 30th. There are still accommodations available for Oshkosh so act fast. I know some members are interested in attending Geneseo. Maybe we could make a group trip?

In other news members Sean Ogden and Thomas Bachlechner flew a trip from KISP through the Hudson corridor and over NYC. It is amazing the stuff we can do as private pilots. ( all that annoying training was worth it).aHskXBukJ9.html

Tim Fallon gave up his day to clean hangar floor. We are very fortunate to have helpful members. 

Congratulations to Sean Ogden on earning his private pilot certificate. He was very determined and commuted from NYC every weekend to get this done. Also this week  Justin Hjortshoj was signed off to fly complex aircraft. Being president of the club had nothing to do with it...

East Hill has an arrangement with a local family in OshKosh to provide lodging for those that want to attend.  They need a count from East Hill as soon as possible.   The Event is July 24-30th.   Please contact Mike Thomas with your interest and number of people going at mike@flyeasthill.org.

Mike Sigler has joined the ranks of "conventional gear pilot". It is nice to see our Citabria being enjoyed by more members. Tailwheel flying must be approached with respect, but with proper training and practice it is very rewarding.

Matt and I flew over to local flying icon Rick Reynolds' field. Turned into a beautiful evening. We got a free tour of his hangar.

Member Lucja Kot gave an interesting and informative talk on her many adventures flying on the west coast and New Zealand. We will try to have more events like this to keep the information and fun going.

Congrats, to Matt Willis on joining the ranks of taildragger nuts.  He found out what his feet are for. No more just "driving" a skyhawk around.

Congratulate Ginny on earning her commercial certificate. She has been flying for many years with some ups and downs, but never lost her love of flying. Now she can be paid for it.
