Wiscasset A/P Safety Seminar & Chili Cook-Off


A few of our members took to the sky for a morning flight at the Wiscasset A/P Safety Seminar. Before John G & Jerry S took off they compared their new rigs. When Jerry was asked when his plane was going to "grow up" it was decided that the best answer was: "never, just like its owner!"

Pictured above, John G tests out his new plane while (below) Jerry shows off his new contraption.



Future pilots enjoying the perks of safety seminars!
