Teri and Bonnie worked around the clock the last couple weeks installing a new interior in 06K. From the Captain's chair, she looks like a brand new plane. Schedule a flight today and enjoy a comfortable ride in the newly-upholstered seats.

Scanned Pilot Operating Handbooks

If you're looking for a Pilot Operating Handbook PDF from one of the aircraft you must login first and then visit the individual aircraft page. You'll see a link toward the bottom of the page. I've yet to scan the 86F POH but I'll get around to it next week.

In an effort to keep website administration easy, I have created a single sign-on tool that will let you login to prescottflying.org with your aircraftclubs.com name and password. Signing into the site will allow you to post news items and view members only content. It will also enable you to schedule aircraft without having to log in again on the Aircraft Scheduling page http://www.prescottflying.org/scheduling

Something different

Hi Everyone...

I took a trip Monday in 06K and thought I'd share what I discovered.

70 miles north of KSGS is Field of Dreams (04W), a private strip located in Hinckley. The owner/manager was very friendly and helpful when I called ahead to plan my trip. He charges a $10 ramp fee unless you buy $50 worth of fuel, which is well worth it to support this local strip. At $3.99, I filled the Archer up and got free parking anyways. 06K was the only plane on the ramp and he let me pull up next to the hangar and plug in the heater.
