Eight flight training scholarships have been
awarded by the local Experimental Aircraft
Association, EAA Chapter 757. The Chapter
received eight applications and was able to fund
all applicants to some degree.
Five students, Sarah Johnson, Jasper Johnson,
Rory Johnson, Julene Johnson and Hailey Johnson,
were funded for ground school training, a
rigorous 16-week program given by Northern Air
in preparation for pilot training.
The highest performing ground school students
will be eligible for additional actual flight
training funds.
Three previous scholarship recipients also
received funds for advanced training. T. J.
Smith will pursue tailwheel certification,
Johannes Snyder instrument training, while Caden
Jones will complete his private license
training.
Funds for these scholarships are from monthly
EAA Chapter 757 pancake breakfasts held during
the summer months. Food for these breakfasts is
donated by 3-Mile Café, juice by Super One or
Safeway.
Go to the EAA Chapter 757 web site,
www.757.eaachapter.org, for additional EAA
Chapter 757 information or contact Gene Andrews
at
(208) 610-8339 with questions or suggestions.
EAA meetings are held at 6 p.m. on the second Tuesday of each
month at the Boundary County Airport, Northern
Air training room, unless an alternate
location is noticed. All interested are encouraged to
attend. There is generally an information or
training presentation along with the meeting.
The group is currently constructing a World War
I Sopwith biplane replica much like the
aircraft in our letterhead as a training
exercise and fun project. |
