| The
Twisp Airport Courtesy Car |
| The airport courtesy car is back
in service for the summer. The town of Twisp no longer
wanted to "own" and support the car so it now belongs to
the Twisp Airport Improvement Club. This means that we also
have to insure it and pay all the expenses. So....if
you use the car and it was beneficial to you, please consider
leaving a donation in the lock box to help keep the car in
operation. Thank you! |

Thanks to all, for
your generous support!
| The "Gold
Star Club" is active
again. A solicitation was made to the Twisp Airport tenants
for donations to the Twisp Airport Improvement Club. As
usual a number of people were generous and made donations to
improve our current financial condition.
Donations were made by the
following aviators: Clifford Hulk, Glen Wooldridge, James
Richards, Joe Johnson, Mary Mattison, Morgan Smith, Sandy Beebe,
John O'Keefe, Don Owens, Mike Port, Dave Sandoz, Mike Palm, Bob
Howson, Mike and Dee Real, and Debbie Bair.
A $200 donation was
"suggested" and some generous people doubled the amount.
We received donations from $25-$750 for a total of $3675 to date.
This will allow us to complete some of the projects that are
pending. The new north side paving and the new building are
both paid for, and we have funds to relocate and upgrade our
irrigation pump system.

| Good progress has been
made on my RV-7 lately. Everything has been painted and moved down
to the hangar. I ended up having Kevin of Kevin's Collision Repair
paint the fuselage. Beautiful! Mike Port of Port's Towing was
kind enough to move the fuselage to the paint shop and then on to my
hangar at the Twisp Airport. |

| A little
known fact! Bob
Hoffman is one of our local flight instructors. He owns a very nice
Cessna 175 Skylark (modified) that he gives flight instruction, and
biannual flight reviews in. Now, this is the good part. When
Bob gives a BFR he charges the student for the airplane time, but does not
charge the trainee for his instructor time. It is expected, however,
that the trainee will make a contribution to the Twisp Airport Improvement
Club. Thank you Bob! |
