Jeannie Phillips sent a few pictures and a “Happy New Year!” wish to everyone. Maybe it’s just me but doesn’t being based at a grass strip on Cape Cod sound oh so romantic to you?

Priscilla Repton is based at 6K5, Sisters Eagle Air Airport, Sisters, Oregon. I started having an interest in flying about a year ago. I told my husband I wanted to learn to fly and he thought it was a great idea.
