It seems only yesterday that we were giving you updates on the runway
construction project—and then it was finally over. We followed up the outdoor improvements
with concentration on the interior—new bathrooms, lobby floor and walls, and
finally we got new desks and carpeting for the instructors in the
classroom. We’re ready for the season
that never came.
Last year we suffered through a draught, but many of you earned your
licenses. Poor flying weather in
October was a sign of things to come, and come again. A challenging winter grounded many of you,
and we anxiously looked forward to spring.
“What spring?” you ask. The wettest in 100 years. So years from now when you relay the story
of how you got your license, you can relay to your grandkids that it rained! When we finally saw the sun, George Bush
couldn’t resist campaigning in the northeast and we had further restrictions.
But as of this writing we actually have seen the sun and high
temperatures—and with it came many familiar faces. Welcome back.
Have you checked out the hangar that is rising like a phoenix in the
back. It is 90% full, so this is your
last call. |

Congratulations, Airplane Owners! Good
luck to Mark Coleman, who has stepped up to a Saratoga. |

Newsworthy Information: · Peter & Connie Rafle are the
proud grandparents of a baby granddaughter. · During Princeton University we were
visited by Raj Shah who got his Private Pilot’s license with us three years
ago while finishing his senior year.
The skies were calling him and he is now flying F-16s in Arizona. · Mike Jardin, who is truly a 39N
success story just completed Cornell and was hired by Comair. Mike came here with his pre-school class;
was our first e-mail customer; worked as a lineman; · We have been seeking pilots who
earned their wings at 39N for our Honor Roll on the website. So far the earliest reported is Daniel
Blitz who soloed and got his license in |

Stormscopes, PGSs, autopilots, and more. These are good investments as well as
making your flying much more pleasurable.
