Why Come to the Keene Airport?

 

For Gallery Walk
in Brattleboro
June 4
5:30-8:30PM 

 

Stroll the streets of lovely Brattleboro, VT as you take in the sights and sounds of Gallery Walk.  This is an event held the first Friday of each month.  Click on the above link to find details about participating galleries and art pieces for the June walk.   Check out the map with over 50 locations including restaurants and galleries displaying artists work.  Participating downtown businesses display a large bright colored number in the window.  This number corresponds to a number on the map which provides descriptions of the artists and the work that they are showing.  Many offer an opportunity to meet the artist, live music, and refreshments.

 

Brattleboro is an easy drive from Keene.  We have AVIS rental cars available at the FBO.  Please call us for help with a car, dinner, or lodging  reservation.

Congratulations to Ralph Bennett who was recently awarded the Wright Brothers FAA Master Pilot Award.

 

The award recognizes pilots who have demonstrated professionalism, skill and aviation expertise by maintaining safe operations for 50 or more years.  Ralph's lovely wife Charlene  was awarded a spouse label pin.

 

Ralph soled a J-3 Cub in 1958 at Don's Flying Service, Marlboro, Mass and subsequently earned Commercial, Instrument, Multi-Engine and Gold Seal Flight Instructor certificates and ratings. He is a native of Sudbury, Mass. and a graduate of the University of Montana, Missoula, accumulating 8000 flight hours working as a professional pilot in New England, Montana, Illlinois and the United Kingdom.

Congratulations Sean

 

And speaking of terrific customers... Congrats to Sean Skalski who was commissioned as an Ensign in the United States Navy last Sunday.  Sean will be starting Naval Aviator training in Pensacola in June.  Bravo Zulu Sean!  

Boston Center Tour
 
I am putting together a Boston Center Tour for this summer.  Dates are yet to be determined but it will likely be on a Saturday in July.  Our group size is limited to 5 people at a time, so I need a rough head count to see how many tour groups we can fill.  Please let me know if you are interested in attending.

Spice Up Your Flying

 

Are you looking to put a little spice into your flying life?  How about doing about an aircraft carrier landing?  A Grand Canyon flight?  A flight over gay Paris (read with a silly accent)? 
 
We can help.  Let our CFIs take you these places, and on other flying adventures, using our Redbird flight simulator.  It is a fantastic tool that is great for teaching as well as having fun!

 

 Redbird 

 

 A terrific weekend to each of you (if that is what you want to have)!
 
 
Thank you,

Beth
