Congratulations to Bill, Travis and Mike on getting their wings

[bweaver]

That's right.  Three of the Ryerson gang, ( @Frank v B 's children) received their wings tonight.  This is the first wings awarded to TEMAC students this year. 

Excellent students, now on their way to flying with the rest of the gang.  As Michael offered, if you wish to advance your skills further, you are still welcome to come out Wednesday evenings and get further tips and guidance from our Flight Instructors and Ground Crew.

Thanks to the Ground Crew and Flight Instructors for assisting these three in achieving their wings.  (Didn't think they could do it, did you?)

Fly lots. Fly Safe. Have Fun! 

[Frank v B]

Great to see my kids succeed.  Thank you Bruce and anyone else who was punished tonight by standing beside them.

I changed the photograph in the first post of this topic and added a new one in this post, allowing you to expand it and see how handsome a group we really are.

Thanks @Andy Hoffer for the heads-up on the first shot.  Thanks @Michael for taking the pictures last night.

Nice one Guys!

Now it's time for the REAL Demon planes!!!

[Frank v B]

Hey boys, if ugly planes last longer, the Ryerson Apprentice should last forever!!   Who needs a cowl anyways.

And congratulations to @bweaver on his augmented field safety training program.

He is the first TEMAC CFI to have come up with a definitive defense against @Frank v B 's agricultural flying techniques:

Photo 1 - notice the alert lookout posture and the comprehensive vegetative camouflage

Photo 2 - notice the full-"boar" thoracic burrowing defense

Way to go Bruce!  The Ryerson grads will live long and prosper in good health!!
