Airman closed until further notice..

I seem to remember some reporter interviewing her at Ozzies. Glad to hear she's up flying now.

She (as well me) was also on that Sept. 13th video story Channel 9 did.

[NYCPilot]

I heard a lot of the Airman instructors end up going to Ram Air after they get the 135 IFR mins.

I heard a lot of the Airman instructors end up going to Ram Air after they get the 135 IFR mins.

I know of at least 6 in the past 4 years who have done so.

Oh wait, 7. I did too.

With my adventures at airman I had seen a few instructors leave for 135 jobs. I once seen one go that had like 500-600 hours but had a lot of multi time & good connections. One instructor their primary instructor in their 172 RG's I believe was waiting to upgrade to instructor in the duchess to build his multi time he had like 1,300 hours of instruction. This instructor was an excellent person I even tipped him a $50.00 bill before leaving wish I all instructors could have his personality & mentality when flying!

I took my check ride 1 week before they closed, I left like 4 days before they closed & paid my fuel surcharge, That morning Brenda tried to talk me in to pre paying for my CFI before I left. I told her I would think about coming back this winter!

I bet every one that’s been to airman have lot of interesting airman story’s!

I have a few stories about being at airman. Some of them are funny. one day i was prefighting one of the 152s and other stundent was about to taxi out to the run up area and he forgot to untie the right wing. he quickly found his mistake. the next day he untied both wings but he did not untie the tail. That was funnier as he tried to taxi out to the runup area.

I did something dumb like that yesterday, taxiing an RG to the runup area. Usually just a smidget of power is enough to get the thing rolling, and when I couldn't power it out of there I looked out and saw the chocks still on the left wheel. What can I say, I'm more used to tiedowns!

As for stories at Airman, I don't have too many, but during my private my CFI would fly along the river about 50 ft off the water (only when we had a plane with small N-numbers). I wondered if he might he looking for fishing spots.

Same CFI pulled a barrel roll on me at night while doing unusual attitudes in the 152. Fun, but not something I'd try to duplicate.

On my private cross-country, I lost a VFR chart and several navlog pages out the window on short final into Ardmore. Oh well. Taught me to be more organized.

[Mike man]

I was there in late 2000 for about 4 weeks that place was a $h!t box of a flight school...I saw a Dutchess CFI try to hand prop the left engine, which is no big deal but she was throwing the prop up and herself into the prop...luckly it did not start.

The best part about that entire place was the guy who ran the pilot shop, John I think, he was the best part about that place.

Oh, and being able to take all written tests for free, that was good too.

It was a hot day!

And for a while I thought it had to do with Airman's super 152s...I'll never forget the air vents coming out passing 40 knots on the takeoff roll...and just as my CFI picks them up, his window pops open bwahahaha

Lots of good times at Airman...

Or the OAT gauge falling out during left steep turns and rolling around down on the floor. I'm sure it would have made my day to have that bad boy get caught under the rudder pedals.

Or when the ADF just was fixed and returned to service...holding over the NDB in actual at westheimer and having the ADF go crappers...that was nice.

Gotta love the Airman mx philosophy "why fix it now, when we can just not fix it later"...good times.

I'm sure we've got more...067's alleged engine...enough said...hahaha
