LAST
MONTH'S ACTIVITIES
|
| November was the first month we joined in on the fun at Petersen AFB for their Altitude Chamber Training Course. Those who went said it was "quite an experience" and they "can't wait to go again"! They learned invaluable information pertaining to aviation and encourage others to take this course to increase their aviation knowledge and experience.

Because of recent regulations, Santa Claus was informed he needed to become a Private Pilot before setting off on his annual Christmas Eve excursion. On the day of his
check ride, the FAA examiner calmly climbed into the sleigh, shotgun in hand.
"What is that for?" asked Santa.
"Well," replied the examiner, "you'll be losing an engine".
