2010 Programs — Eastern Washington May 17 — 20
For this year's program we have planned a repeat of 2009's "Flight for Education". Our first stop will be Republic, Monday May 17; followed by Oroville May 18, Tonasket May 19 and Okanogan May 20. Each morning we will present our program, then fly to the next town that afternoon.
We are looking for pilots who like working with children and have four days to volunteer, to fly with us. We have had pilots of all levels, glider, private, commercial, CFI, helicopter and ATP. Each of these brings something unique the program. Many students are very surprised to find that the people who flew in to present the program are teachers, engineers, plumbers, construction workers, as well as professional pilots. Our program is broken into four units, each easily within the teaching ability of a private pilot.
