Big BFC Boo-Yahs to the Aviation Club students at Highland High School who took a recent flight with Fred Webster and Dave Nance. KERO Channel 23 was on hand to film and interview the students, and reporter Noelle Lilley even rode along to see the students’ reactions up close. Welcome to the Club, Highland High, and many thanks to Fred and Dave for making this exciting event possible.
Brown Solos!
Big BFC Boo-Yas to Dennis Brown on his first solo! Dennis has done a lot of flying with friends, but there’s nothing quite like doing it yourself for the first time! Congratulations, Dennis!
April 20 was a bit gusty, so Pierre finished his Private Pilot Checkride 2 days later on a calm and clear morning. His wife was there to congratulate him on his accomplishment! Congrats Pierre!
Winds 230@25 Gusting 35!
The Antelope Valley Poker Run was a
huge success April 14 2019! Members Brenda Corby, Scott Corby, Donna
Webster, Fred Webster, Gabriel Roca, Daniel Lavato and Dea Payette. Dea
won several prizes for having some of the best poker hands! No one
from the BFC placed in the spot landing contest, but they all had fun
trying with the fantastic winds!
…the traffic pattern at KBFL! Congratulations to new BFC member Brenda Corby on her first solo. CFI Donna said she did a great job, and is looking forward to pushing forward in her training toward her Private Pilot Certificate. Brenda and husband Scott are also the owners of the club’s new C172, N9596H. High fives all around!
N.T. takes to the skies all on his own 4-5-2019. It was a cloudy day, but the visibility and winds were great! N.T.’s CFI, Tom Peterson, watched from the sidelines as he made his 3 landings on Runway 30L. His family also shared in the excitement of his first solo. Congratulations N.T.!
Mega congrats to Aaron Hacker on the occasion of his first solo! CFI Fred said he did a great job. Now on to more advanced training, solo cross countries, then the checkride. Way to go, Aaron!!
Congratulations to Todd Sweaney for passing his Private Pilot Checkride on January 20 with DPE Donna Webster. Todd is a local homebuilder, and plans to fly for both business and pleasure. His go-to places to fly are KSBP and KSBA for lunch and sightseeing. Todd plans to go right into training for his instrument rating, and thinks airplane ownership is a definite possibility. Way to go, Todd!
