Pre-flight inspections in the springtime have a unique chal-lenge.  Starlings, sparrows and other of birds have a special need to build nests.  They are under pressure to build the nest quickly so the young will be hatched are mature before fall. 
 
Airplanes that are idle for even one day will attract birds.  Their favorite sites are the nacelle on top of the cylinders. Also, the horizontal stabilizers of C-172's have round holes in the rear bulkhead that birds can easily go through.  Look for twigs and grass hanging out of the stabilizer!!  Tail cones are another common nest site.  They can get in through cable openings.
 
Carefully inspect the airplane for nests.  Grass and twigs on the ground around the airplane, and dropping on the propeller and tail surfaces are strong clues that avian contractors are in the neighborhood.
 
Remove all the materials you find.  If necessary have the nacelle opened to get it all out.  The last thing you want is a nest burning in the engine compartment.

When you first meet Shannon, you immediately get a smile and hear a wonderful accent.  His back-groung is lengthy and admirable, as he was born in Liberia, which is located on the west coast of Africa.

 

Since early childhood, he has always wanted to be a pilot.  Well, after a long trek, he achieved his goal.  Shannon joined our school late last summer when the airlines cut back - their loss was our gain.

 

Shannon takes great joy when someone walks through the door with no lknowledge of aviation and he can make him/her learn to fly - he feels very proud.
