HARVARD HAWKS: Kip Davis This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it 519-742-7690

I have had the pleasure of working with three Harvard Hawks recently, as they’ve been learning about the Harvards and Tiger Moth. Kristen Dipple from Waterloo has been training with the service crew since March and is working on being able to do A/C pre-flights, backseat briefings and marshalling. She took a flight in the Tiger with Bill Ritchie on Saturday. A local gal, Hillary Jones, has spent some time learning the "ropes" with help from Heather McMillan. She is looking at aviation as a career-path when she finishes high school, and is booked to fly in a Harvard soon. And finally, Callum Donnelly, a familiar and enthusiastic young lad who comes out with his father, CHAA check pilot, Tony Donnelly. Callum has been given initial training around the hangar. Please give these three any help and encouragement you can.

As always, our thoughts are with all those who have lost loved ones, recently been ill or had surgery. Please know, we hold you in our hearts and wish you better days ahead.

 

 

Until next time, clear skies, safe flights and smooth landings!
