Our featured speaker will be Mike Schoonover. He and his 13-year-old grandson accomplished the amazing feat of touching down in all 48 contiguous U.S. states – flying his 2006 Maule M4 – 180V. They did this in six days with a total 59 hours of flight time – burning over 600 gallons of fuel.

Hello,
I would like to inform everyone that I have just received an approved application from the FAA for a skydiving event to take place Friday November 4th or Saturday November 5th from 9am to 3pm local time. Jump for Joy will parachute from 7000 feet to land at the Friday Harbor Elementary school and also at the Friday Harbor High School, these are very tricky areas as one is directly underneath the downwind pattern for runway 34 and the other is underneath short final for runway 16. Jump for Joy will be responsible for a NOTAM which we should see around this Wednesday and I have been told they are going to make calls on 128.25 when they release the jumpers. If you plan to fly to KFHR any of these days please keep your eyes and ears open.
Thank you,
Stuart Hansen

Come to the Mullis Street Fire Station — 12:00 noon on Friday, October 28th, for an important talk from Dean Riley, A&P Mechanic at Friday Harbor Airport. Mechanical failure on an airplane is especially unwelcome for San Juan Islands pilots. The surrounding waters are chilly and surviving a water ditching would be tough.
Dean will show us some photos and talk about recent findings on local aircraft. Because our aircraft are susceptible to failure, it’s good to suspect and prevent risks. Dean will help us identify and prevent risks. He will facilitate a discussion among our group about aircraft maintenance and safety. This has the makings of being a lively talk.
