Flight Training Resumes

February 11th, 2021

The Club Board of Directors has lifted restrictions on flight training. This does not mean all club instructors will be teaching or that an instructor who is teaching will resume a full schedule.

The Club COVID protocols are still in place and members are expected to comply. [...]
