SCHOLARSHIP SET UP TO HONOR COLGAN PILOT


My name is Lisa and I am Scott Knabe’s girlfriend. Scott, along with Steven Dean were the two pilots involved in the fatal plane crash in Hyannis, MA on August 26, 2003. As a tribute to Scott, a scholarship has been established in his name at Cincinnati State Technical and Community College in Cincinnati, OH.

Scott had earned his Bachelor of Science degree in Accounting from Ohio State University, but he was not the type of person to sit still at a desk job and let life pass him by.

In the early 1990s, Scott attended evening classes at Cincinnati State in the Aviation Maintenance program and graduated in 1996 with his Airframe and Powerplant Technician certification. After completing his education, he worked as a licensed A & P mechanic for an aircraft engine company in Cincinnati. He enjoyed getting his hands dirty working on planes and flying them too. He followed his dream for flying. Scott earned the following pilot licenses: Airline Transport Pilot, Airplane Multi-Engine Land, Seaplane, and the type rating for BE-1900.

In the late 1990s, he worked as a pilot for the State of Kentucky Division of Forestry, spotting forest fires throughout Kentucky, and later as a multi-engine pilot for an engineering firm in Everett, WA performing aerial surveys all over the United States.

In July 2001, Scott was hired by Colgan Air/U.S. Airways Express as a First Officer. In January 2003, he was upgraded to Captain.

The Scott A. Knabe Aviation Scholarship will assist students in the Aviation program at Cincinnati State who have the same ambition and desire that Scott had to obtain his Airframe and Powerplant license and to become a professional pilot.

If you would like to make a contribution in memory of Scott, please send your donation to the address below. Checks should be made payable to the Cincinnati State Foundation.
Please write Scott A. Knabe Scholarship Fund on the memo line of your check.

Stevesis
bump is just typed in to get the thread back up to the top so everyone sees it.
 
Nah man today was an off day. I did just get back from Vegas this afternoon though. Then its off to wonderfull ITH in a few days.
 
How was Vegas? Did you leave some of your hard earned money behind?

ITH is a cool base.. Great people up there!! I hand delivered them 129CJ last night, so they might be so nice anymore..
 
129CJ huh? Nice way to start a new base.....they can get used to plenty more of that crap. Was that the one with two different color engine cowlings?
 
Vegas baby

Vegas was good to me man. I actually left there up $87. The guy I went with left down $1300 so he left enough for both of us. So 129CJ is in ITH well hopefully its gone before the morning shift on monday then cause thats when I gotta fly.
 
You said it....not me!!! I am right though....LVE. All white, with red and blue strips....2 engine cowlings that don't match....one is solid white, the other solid blue....and it's a C model. Lets just put some chickens in the cargo hold and get it over with. Like that plane in police academy 5.
 
Yeah Ive been kinda lucky lately havent been in a C in a while but its all good. At least the taxi at LGA is long enough I can rock that breifing without a rush.
 
haven't met you yet...but i always thought of you as pro company....but not as much as of late. That's why i wrote that i guess. Which plane has the "lone red cushion"? I think LVS. Did someone $hit on it? I heard 2 PFTer's have recently quit.....any details on that? Did they get any money back? Did they get better jobs?
 
Pro company... Not much lately

LVS has the red seat...1F I believe and yes, someone soiled it.

I know of 1 PFTer that quit and from what I hear, is planning on taking the company to court over misrepresentations made during the interview at RAA.
 
Misrepresentations? What could that be? 2000TT to upgrade? How we don't need a union here? Bases all over the northeast..take your pick....oh sorry...you get lebanon, NH. The C models are leaving ASAP...you'll probably never even see one. You may be on reserve at first...but we have decent turnover and your seniority will build, and you will be a lineholder. Sign up now, seniority is everything.

I'll throw in a positive note...the D models don't look bad with the blue USAIrways paint. I think they look pretty good.
