| Discovering an Old Passion |
For the longest time I had been involved in flight simulation, until I got a taste of the real thing. I put it off for awhile, but I could'nt seem to get away from it. I would like to share some video clips of the past with all of you. The quality was not that great once uploaded, I apologize. I purchased a simulator package about a year or so ago, and I have only used it a couple times. I found it today and have rediscovered this passion. In this simulator you can go to whatever airport you want IN THE WORLD, while flying whatever plane you eant to, from a Boeing 737 to a Piper Cub, all the way to a Grumman Tiger. Its truly amazing, just follow the links to YouTube where I have recently posted the clips. (YouTube allows up to 10 mins at a time). The links that I have included were from a recorded demonstration that I did for a group awhile back in the J-3. There were quite a bit of errors along the way, but you can just say it was a "landing that you could walk away from". But what really makes it worthwhile is: YOU NEVER HAVE TO PAY FOR AVGAS! Thanks, Enjoy

| K-State Excite Program |
We need Young Eagle pilots and airplanes at Freeman Field, Junction City, on Friday morning to fly 12 high school age girls who are participating in the K-state EXCITE program.
We will be hosting the 12 girls who have chosen the Take Flight track and providing a Young Eagles flight experience. The Take Flight track is described as:
" Take Flight!: Explore the principles of flight and investigate how engineers have developed one of one of the safest modes of transportation--the airplane. Learn how engineers are revolutionizing the fuel efficiency of planes while making them faster and more comfortable! Use these techniques to design, build and test your own plane!
Dave Messerla will be there with his TriPacer. Dave has flown over 80 young eagles but I am sure he wouldnt turn down a little help for this event. This is your chance to encourage a young lady who has shown real interest in aviation and aviation engineering.
Call Marvin Hornbostle at Raven Aero at 762-3702, or on his cell phone 761-7692, and support K-State and these future engineers and aviators.
For more information on the K-State EXCITE program go to http://www.k-state.edu/excite/index.htm
