Why Come to Keene?

 

For Dinner and a Show
April 23-29 

 

Sample the many dining opportunities in the Keene area during Restaurant Week.   Participating eateries will publish a special menu for this week with all kinds of great things going happening on Main Street.   While you're here, Keene's historic Colonial Theatre will host several live events including  comedian Bob Marley and This American Life's Ira Glass.  

 

Our downtown is beautiful and we hope you'll visit with someone special for dinner and a show.    

   

Please contact me if  you need help with dining or hotel reservations or ground transportation.  We have AVIS vehicles on site at the FBO.

Barbecue Saturday 

 

It's time for a barbecue!  Please join us at noon tomorrow for burgers and dogs. 

Congratulations Robin
 
Congratulations to the newest pilot in Keene!  Robin Turnbaugh was relentless in her Robin Checkride
training and her hard work showed as she recently passed her checkride with ease.    Robin trained with CFI Rick Bendel in our Piper Warrior and tested with Designated Pilot Examiner Greg Livernois. 
 
Not resting for a moment, Robin is jumping right into her instrument training as she builds her cross country time.   Fly Robin, fly!
Congratulations Dan

 

 

Congratulations to Dan Batchelder for completing his first solo flight last week!  Dan is training with CFI Rick Bendel in our Piper Warrior.  Dan always has a smile on his face.  Who would have thought the smile could be even bigger upon soloing.

 
Congratulations Rick
 
Congratulations to our own CFI Rick Bendel.  Rick has recently been named a Master CFI by the National Association of Flight Instructors.    This is terrific recognition for his experience and dedication to flight instruction.  A nice accolade to go with his FAA awarded Gold Seal Instructor and Cirrus Aircraft Flight Instructor certification!  Rick provides basic and advanced flight instruction full time at Monadnock Aviation. 

 

NH Airports Book 

 

 A recently published picture book shows all 25 of New Hampshire's public airports.  It is a really lovely collection of photos from around our state. 

 
The book was published to promote New Hampshire aviation and Monadnock Aviation has agreed to offer the books for sale.  Please let me know if you'd like to see or purchase a copy.  The cost is $10.00. 
Redbird Simulator

 

Would you like to brush up on any skills before the flying season kicks into full gear?  You can do this in our Redbird flight simulator.  Let our CFIs help you review emergency procedures and fine tune your technique.
 Redbird 
We can control most parameters of your flight in the simulator.  We can add wind, clouds, rain, equipment failures, and other surprises to keep your skills sharp.   

 

Call or email me if you would like to book a couple of hours with a CFI. 
Water Skiing
 
Take a look at four T6 Harvard Aircraft from The Flying Lions Aerobatic Team water-skiing across the Klipdrift Dam near Johannesburg South Africa.  Wow!  Thanks to Scott Shulman for the pics. 
 

  

 


 

 

 

 

 

Hope your spring is as enjoyable as you dreamed it would be all winter!
 
Thank you,
