In early June we brought three students from Parks College of Engineering, Aviation and Technology for a week to fly the Cubs. It was a blast. They stayed a week, learning to fly tailwheel aircraft, doing spin training, and getting 10–12 hours each in vintage aircraft, including the Stearman. We flew twice daily, and Miss Lisa cooked dinner for a family-style meal each night. Talk about fun.
Well, in that spirit, we decided to offer “Stick and rudder” camps throughout the year. The training will be available to anyone (certain limits apply), and a few scholarships will be made available to students at Aeronautical Universities. We are working out the details and costs, but it’s a pretty great opportunity to fly vintage aircraft that are not too readily available. All the training will be done in our Cubs and Stearman, but we may also include a little Staggerwing training in the curriculum for the more advanced students. We’ll post the details on a separate page once we get situated.
