Just to recap all the activity that has occurred during the winter season:

Max Droege, Oakville WA, started working with CFI Jim Groebner just about the time this winter when the rest of us stopped flying.  The pay off was that Max successfully completed his sport pilot practical test a couple of weeks ago.  Holly Barnes, Olympia, WA, another “Grubby” student likewise braved some very cold winter weather to complete her sport pilot license. And we just got a report from Grubby yesterday that Bob Paysee completed his solo course.

Steve Rambo reported that Ed Zumbuhl completed his ultralight solo course in Napavine, Wa.

John Hollis, Manteca California completed his sport pilot practical test, thnx to his patience, long- term hard work and the great assistance from Tracy, CA CFI Stephen Brandon.

CFI Mike Lersbak traveled to the Central Washington Powered Parachutes flight field (Twin Firs Turf Farm) in March. The result was the Kevin and Kyle Cox, Wenatchee, WA completed their solo course.

Mike and I returned to Twin Firs Farm for the entire past week for the first group-accelerated course of the season.  We were challenged with the weather throughout the week, but managed to complete solo flights for Tim Vedder and Tom Connelly, Wenatchee, WA, Jim Webb, Goldendale, WA, Tom Pratt, Moses Lake, WA and Michael Clouse, Pasco, WA.

I am nearly sure I have missed someone in this brief summary.  But you get the idea. We are starting this season with quite the flurry of activity.

Note too how much activity is suddenly occurring in Central Washington.  This is thanks to the leadership of Tim Vedder a new powered parachute pilot, and President of Central Washington Powered Parachutes.  If you would like to learn more about our newest flight center, go to http://sixchuterwest.com/?page_id=296
