Give the greatest gift ever with a gift of more than just a flying experience!
New for the 2022 season is Air Cadet for a Day, where you will be taken back to 1941 and fly our Stearman biplane Orange Roughy. This training will be offered three times in 2022 (with dates to be determined) and includes the following:
- First you’ll attend ground school explaining the cadet flight training experience during WWII.
- Second you’ll be briefed regarding our 1941 Boeing Stearman, the primary trainer flown by cadets.
- Third, you’ll be shown how to control and fly the airplane. Briefings last about 30-45 minutes with breaks in between to tour the airplane and answer questions.
- Finally you will take the controls of our open cockpit biplane for a 20, 40, or 60 minute flight experience, depending on how much flying you want to do. You will not ride...you WILL fly!
You don’t need to be a pilot and is for ages 13 and up...we promise you will never forget this experience.
Air Cadet for Day pricing ranges between $225 and $400 depending on flight time and gift certificates are available. Also included in the experience is an Orange Roughy t-shirt (pre-order only), so call us at 715.845.3400 or message us on Facebook to purchase your certificate today!

Ordered this book as preparation.
“The Complete Flying Manual” by Lt. Col. Harold E. Hartney U.S. Air Corps. A Guide To Flying Tuition 1940. AN absolute treasure trove of golden nuggets on the art of stick and rudder.

Spent most my money on motorcycles n flying, the rest I just wasted.
Just an fyi... I made a strong lanyard to attach to my phone for the Great Lakes pics and vids. Using "just" your hands ain't gonna hack it.
I noticed an unbloated "motorcycle" form of this. More desirable I think. Probably put bigger ones out of business...

An old instructor of mine reckoned mechanics made the best students... and pilots. He said they were more in tune to the airplane than the average person.A well-respected flying instructor once remarked that the best students he had were usually motorcyclists.
RIP Jim Beaton - one of the best.
I made this comment on a different (non-aviation) thread a few weeks ago. I'll quote it here (where it's more appropriate) for context....Turns out it's a particular Boeing that the feds are concerned about 5G interfering with. Heard it on the radio at 3AM so didn't catch what model but I think it was the triple 7.
Which says to me there has already been a problem. Report claims flights have been canceled due to it.
Guess that's one way to look at it. Another way is, had the FAA done their own realistic testing a few yrs ago... and not pawned it off on lobbyist groups with tons of money to protect, this never even would have been a "thing" in the first place.So we missed getting our ability to what stream multiple movies at the same time to our phones for a 1-2 months, a delay that is being used to systematically test and eliminate concerns about airline and medflights? Seems like the right thing was done.
I still think that would look better with 8 x .303 Brownings on it.Guess that's one way to look at it.

... and maybe we'd be talking about the FAI certifying the speed record of the worlds fastest electric airplane today instead.

Well it is electric after all. Maybe lasers and photon torpedo's?I still think that would look better with 8 x .303 Brownings on it.
