Lunch with Arnold Palmer During Wings Weekend, 2011

Mr. Palmer was the featured speaker during the Saturday, September 17 luncheon at the airport and kindly posed with two of our members. Here's Jan

 

and Jim with Arnold Palmer.

 

Wash and Wax Day

One of the common club activities is to wash and wax the airplane. Our fuel supplier at Vee Neal Aviation loaned us their hose and water supply, we applied Extreme Simple Green for the wash and followed with a coat of Starbrite Marine Polish. These photos were taken on a warm Saturday in September and show the result of our hard work.

The Left Wing Goes On An Adventure

And finally, the left wing at night one instant later when the beacon has cycled off.

 

Flight Challenges

James takes a field trip to Put-in-Bay, Ohio in May and wins the first of the club flight challenges for 2012.

 

Just under the wire on December 13, 2012 the second of the club flight challenges was completed with a team flight to the Piper Museum in Lock Haven, Pennsylvania. Here's RD who flew the outgoing leg,

 

and Ed who flew the return trip,

 

and the Archer patiently waiting for the pilots to finish their museum tour.

 

Aerial Photography Flights

Lunch is over and we're back at Palmer Airport. Let's open the window for ventilation, taxi back to the hangar, and turn the Archer over to the next pilot on the schedule.
