It's time to get back in the regular routine. Many students finished their licenses in time to go off to college. The rest of us will be fortunate to enjoy the usually clear, crisp weather coming up during September and October.

Planned projects are moving forward. There will be new faces, all working to make 39N the best airport for you to call your base of operations.

We'll end the month by welcoming back the Princeton Historical Society's Annual Fine Arts & Antique Show - one of the best on the east coast.

ANOTHER NIERENBERG ON BOARD

By the time you receive this, there will be another Nierenberg working at Princeton Airport, Steve. Many of you know him as the elf that annually flies with Santa, however in real life he is an attorney. He will join the staff in operations, both for the flight school and PAC. He is Dick's and Naomi's nephew, and Ken's cousin. More on Steve next month.

For those who don't know, there is another son, Jon, who lives near Denali National Park where he built a lodge and cabins for summer visitors, and in the winter guides tourists by dog sled into the park. If you want a wonderful vacation, he will make it happen.

From the Right Seat

by Chief Pilot Pete Rafle

The recent mid-air collision of the tour helicopter and low wing aircraft in the Hudson Corridor is proof that you must "know before you go" and "keep your eyes looking outside the cockpit". In a recent article in this column, I proposed that pilots should contact New York Approach and get flight following up the corridor through the Class B.

Flying above 1100 foot floor of the corridor, while getting traffic advisories from New York Approach, Newark tower, or LaGuardia tower, will help keep you safe, while providing a great view of the city. You are still responsible for VFR separation from other aircraft, but the heads up from ATC regarding other traffic enhances your safety and that of your passengers.

MEET N' GREET

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 5 - 10AM - NOON

Come join us to share you summer flying experiences, or anything else. Bagels and coffee will be there while you meet other aviators or aviators to be. Bring a friend.

THIS & THAT

Summer Tours: These weekly tours were very well attended by pre-schoolers to senior citizens. Everyone was able to find something of interest. Attendance ranged from a dozen to about 75. Special thanks to Pete Rafle and Will Dobner who helped Naomi make sure every Tuesday had a tour.

Summer Visitors - We always enjoy visits from former employees, especially those who pursued careers. Tim Coyne, who worked for us at 47N and here, walked in with a bouquet of flowers and his children, and then wanted a check out. Tim now lives in Manchester, England and flies a Hawker for Net Jets, Europe.

Congratulations, Srivatsa Kota, who is now an Assistant Chief Pilot for the Private Course.

Welcome New CFII, Ryan (Ryken) Kenny to our staff. He'll be here five days a week so if you need an instructor, call us.

Since we have a Ryan and Kenny on staff, he'll use the contraction to avoid confusion.

PRIVATE PILOT GROUND SCHOOL?

INSTRUMENT GROUND SCHOOL?

We are now creating a list for either or both a Private Pilot Class as well as an Instrument Class. Let us know what you need! We'll will organize a class as soon as we have enough to start.
