Wheres everyone from?

I was just at Old Bridge last week. Fortunately, I landed on the runway
with the numbers as opposed to the larger runway w/o.

Yeah, the final approach is a real bear coming into the big one from the northeast.

Oh.
How have they developed since the buyout from the former owners (namely
Rick
w/Sunbird Flight Services)? Is John Martin still one of the new owners?
Say John
hello from Martin from Austria.


Martin,

From my experience there as a PPL student, I'd say they're doing ok. They
have two very nice 172SPs, 3 good 172M/Ns, 2 152s (I've not flown them...),
a twin Seneca, an Arrow and they just added a 182P on a leaseback.

As far as I know, the owners are a Father/Son with the last name of Guilfoy
(Tom Sr/Jr ... aka T1/T2.)

Instructor-wise, they've suffered a little bit of turnover of late but I
think it's more of a coincidence as it would seem that pilot hiring is
beginning to pick up some and one would expect the highest time CFIs to be
moving up the ladder, right? (If that is what they were wanting/waiting to
do...)


Do they still rent only to their students? If yes: what would you suggest
where
to rent from?


According to their website, no they don't rent only to students...give them
a call:

ah. OK. And John is still there? He used to be the chief flight
instructor and general manager.


I heard that John Martin is now at America West.

Except Meadowlake doesn't sell Jet-A; workable, but a PITA.

Which King Air are they looking at?

Colorado Aviation at COS is awesome, and about the cheapest Jet-A in the
state. Excellent shops, too.

We're fixing to relocate from Meridian Business Park (APA...$$$$$$,
Englewood...$$$$$$$) to the ColoSprings area. Both of our two main partners
live way south of Denver and find it harder to get into town than just going
south twice as far. Also, we're finding office space is about 60% less $$.


Sorry it took so long to reply, I was on vacation in the rural
farmlands of Mn, where computer time was very limited. Yea, we
looked into the Jet A situation here at 00V but I would be doing most
of my pickup's at APA so I would get the fuel there.

They were looking at at King Air that was for sale here at COS but I
just got word that it had sold. All in the same breath they tell me
that a Cheyenne III would be considered.
