Congratulations are in order for the intrepid all season flyers. These are the driven among us who fly in all weather. The cold and wind of spring and the heat of summer doesn’t deter them from going airborne.

Ray Doan 18 years Mike Freidner 10 years Bob Kleinhenz 10 years Al Smith 2 years Dave Cook 1 year Rich Daniel 1 year     If you want to join the die-hards you have to fly at least once in each month of a calendar year. To get credit for this feat you have to report the date you flew to ‘Rudder Bob’ Kleinhenz at (440) 892-1029 within the month. Don’t expect to call Bob in December and say you flew each month and get credit.
