Happy New Year from Classic Aviation!
February is here already and we hope you had a great holiday season! All of us at Classic Aviation want to thank you for your business and support throughout the last year. As the temperatures rise and the fuel prices fall (we hope) we hope to see you at the airport soon.

Hangar construction:
The walls are up on the new hangar next to the maintenance hangar. The
hangar will be used for cold storage of aircraft and equipment, and will
hopefully allow us to keep the rental fleet under a roof once it is
completed.

Flight Training:
Our flight training capabilities continue to grow at Classic Aviation.
As a Cirrus Flight Training Center that provides training from private
to ATP we are ready to train with you whether you are in need of
recurrent training or looking to add that next rating. We now have an
FAA examiner on staff as well so many checkrides can take place right
here at Pella. The Cessna 152 "N60SX" still provides the best value in
rental or training at $60/hour. Keep spreading the word that learning to
fly is fun, safe and affordable.
Instrument Ground School.
Our two week instrument ground school starts February 17th. It’s still not
too late to enroll, but please let us know right away if you are
interested.
Growing families: Classic Aviation Staff
Brian Teachout, Jeff Uitermark, Shane Vande Voort, and Joel Buseman and
their wives are all expecting babies this spring and summer.
Annual Safety meeting:
Our annual safety meeting is scheduled for April 30th this
year. Please stay tuned for details on another first class safety event.
Fly Iowa Challenge:
Challenge yourself to visit more Iowa Airports this year. You can
participate by visiting as little as 10 Iowa Airports. For complete
rules and details see
www.flyiowa.org.
N3463K is famous! Our beloved J3 Cub is on the cover of the
new Iowa Airport Directory and Aeronautical Chart. (Free copies
available at Classic Aviation). The air-to-air photo was taken by our
very own talented photographer Megan Vande Voort with the very capable
Doug Cash at the controls of the Cub. |
