July 26, 2013 |
The EAA is hosting the third Huckleberry Pancake
Breakfast of the season this Saturday, July 27,
from 8 to 10:30 a.m. Make sure you stop by the
airport for all-you-can-eat huckleberry
pancakes, eggs, sausage, coffee and juice!
The suggested donation is only $5 so bring an
appetite!
All proceeds from the breakfasts go towards
Youth Flight Scholarship for Boundary County
youth between the ages of 16 and 18. If you know
anyone interested in becoming a pilot stop by
the airport this Saturday morning to meet the
aviation community and learn more about the
scholarship opportunities while enjoying a
delicious breakfast!
This Saturday there will be a special appearance
at the breakfast by a beautifully restored de
Havilland DHC-2 Beaver.
The Beaver was built in Canada between 1948 and
1967. The incredibly powerful and versatile
Beaver was designed for flight in rugged, remote
areas with short take-off and landing
capabilities, making it an excellent bush plane.
Even though de Havilland stopped building the
Beaver in 1967, there are hundreds of Beavers
still in use today.

Trevor Schneider has soloed! Trevor was the
recipient of the second EAA Youth Flight
Scholarship for 2013.
He attended ground school January, passed his
private pilot knowledge exam in June, and took
his first solo flight on July17 under the
supervision of instructor Conrad Bicknell.
Trevor is a natural, and is well on his way to
becoming an excellent pilot.
Congratulations also to Trevor’s sister Tana,
who just passed her float plane check ride in
Alaska, for which she received a full
scholarship this spring. Tana was one of the
first recipients of the EAA Youth Flight
Scholarships back in 2009 and completed her
private pilot flight training at Northern Air in
2010. She is currently attending air traffic
controller school in Anchorage, Alaska.
Northern Air would like to thank Conrad Bicknell
for all his help in July. It was a very busy
month at the flight school, and Conrad did a
little flight instruction to help us out while
he was home on vacation.
It was a real treat for some of our new students
to get instruction for an F-18 Hornet pilot!
Conrad grew up in Bonners Ferry, and learned to
fly here at Northern Air before joining the
Navy.

airport call (208) 267 4359, or visit the
