Duke Schoell with 500+ Young Eagles Flown.
Mike Hedrick, a long time Young Eagles pilot and member of EAA1230 flew his 500th Young Eagle during a Young Eagles Fly-out A MacLellan Field in Sacramento. Congratulations Mike, what a hero. A NOTE FROM PRESIDENT MARSH
THANK YOU, EACH AND EVERY ONE, FOR MAKING OUR 1ST YOUNG EAGLES RALLY OF 2009 A SMASHING SUCCESS! Although we have had a 3 month break, today’s Rally came off as though we had held one just last week. Administration and registration was, as always, handled seamlessly by our colleagues from the Lee Archer, Jr. Chapter of the Tuskegee Airmen. Tom B ucci and Mike Hedrick made early morning pre-rally sorties to evaluate the flying conditions and best route, with Tom taking on the job of briefing all of the pilots (and greeting the Young Eagles and parents). Although Steve Romine usually oversees ramp marshalling, due to a schedule conflict he was unable to attend. As a measure of Steve’s commitment, he provided a very worthy replacement (Rick-I-Forgot-His-Last-Name) a former Air Force crew chief to fill in for him. Rick was smooooth! Jean-Luc Duckworth, one of our Junior EAA Members, again brought one of his pc’s with flight simulators to give the Young Eagles a taste of flying while they waited for their flights, and (being one of Steve’s protégés) admirably assisted Rick on the ramp. Several parents of students from the California Aerospace Academy joined us today. We’ll be holding a special Young Eagles Rally just for them on 11 April 2009. I learned of this academy through my dear friend Fran Kaiser whose son Jacob attends the Academy. Fran brought Jaimie, Marnis and Ray (also parents of CAA students) to our Rally to observe and assist. They made themselves invaluable as escorts for the parents to-and-from the ramp. Our Photo Mission also went well, mainly due to the efforts of Doug Porch and Renee Snow (usually one of our Y/E pilots, but grounded today by a dead battery). We had a ‘Special Eagle’ today. Duke Schoell told us at our meeting last week of a special man ( Troy ) who is an eight-year-old in a forty-year-old body, who used to fly with his (now) ‘Gone West’ father. Though flying him did not fall under the sanctions of the Young Eagles Program, Duke asked if there were any volunteers to fly him. I was very proud to see the number of our members who raised their hands, and it was John Cumins, accompanied by our past-president Woody Harris, who had the privilege of reuniting Troy with his joy of flying. You wanna talk about a ‘Hug-Fest’? Forget about it! In all, we flew 50-some Young Eagles. Mike Hedrick is one sortie away from making 500. Our pilots were:
