“Judy, other than being one of the out of job statistics, my Champ and I are doing great! We do not fly very far lately (even gas costs money!) although we have visited the glider field and took several ladies for special rides.”

“I signed off Laura for her private pilots certificate and she made it! The other young lady is a student pilot and was having some difficulty with her crosswind landings, we flew some in her trainer to help her before we went for the ride in the Champ! I am doing some glider instructing and working on finding a job! My CAP cadets are about to finsh their model rocket program by shooting their last “BIG” rocket for completion!”

Landing at 81D
“I’m in Peru for work and there are paragliders going by my window. Nice weather here but a cold snap in Texas. I sent a picture of the 81D All Stars; my S2B, a friend’s S2A and Bruce Bohannon’s Legend Cub.”

“I don’t know if you have a link on your blog but if anyone is looking for a “tailwheel experience” Bruce Bohannon (of Fly’n Tiger fame) is offering gift certificates for the holidays at his flight school. $99 for a Legend Cub ride/intro lesson and $199 for an acro thrill ride in a Pitts.”

Christina Chapman from Idaho writes;
“Things are the same with me — still flying my Scout although we’re having a snowy winter so it has greatly reduced my flight time. I’m working on my CFI this winter instead (advanced ground right now). When the snow storm pattern weakens (usually March or April), I should have some adventures to Hell’s Canyon and will send photos then.”

Cynthia Lyons from Illinois writes;
“I am still the co-owner of Extra 200 9PB with my husband David Underwood. It is 13 degrees this morning in Naperville, Illinois and I am so glad the bird is keeping warm in its heated hangar. We are headed to Florida early January for a quick trip to Sanibel Island — if it is warm enough we will fly the Extra down to Chris Rudd who will do our annual. If it is just too cold to go we will wait until March!”
Cynthia Lyons and her Extra 200
“We used to brag about flying every single month of the year in Chicago winters. We are just getting too old now. So we are waiting for the 2011 (IAC aerobatic) season this spring.”
