Take Flight! We partnered with the Sciencenter to spread the experience of flight and raised $12K to sponsor this interactive display. This wildly popular show finished with a visit from NASA Astronaut Don Thomas
Syracuse Tower Tour: Feb 11 Four planes and 18 hearty souls flew (and drove) to Syracuse to tour the tower and see the new radar system. Dinner later at Zebs was of course a bigger hit!
Lycoming Engine's Thunderbolt Division treated us like royalty on our visit March 9th. Four planes with various pilots navigated through Pennsylvania. We got a full factory tour and were able to see some of the experimental area. Again the crew enjoyed a wonderful lunch!
East Hill Flying Club attended Rochester Wings again with a full display and the "East Hill AeroStar" David presented a safety program and received a FSDO award. We have picked up several new members from our presence here and regional recognition!
Our Annual Banquet in Elmira at the "Wings of Eagles" attended by 180 people! Astronaut Don Thomas shared his experiences flying the space shuttle and living in space. Notice the Diamond D-42 TwinStar that came for a visit.
Trying some new aircraft in the club. How about a Grob Motor Glider or a Cirrus as a new club aircraft? This will be one of our initiatives in the new year. Do we fly old Cessnas forever?
Once again appearing before 7,000 people at the Ithaca Festival our traveling advertisement for the Father's Day breakfast...and learning to fly! Join in this year in June for the "formation flight!"
