Local EAA thanks those who helped young fliers
Published Thursday, May 22, 2008
I would like to thank Hillcrest Lutheran Academy and the Fergus Falls Middle School and Staffs for working with us to make the Young Eagles program a success.
On May 8, 10 students from Hillcrest were flown by our volunteers and on May 9, 177 Students from the Middle School participated in the flight portion of the Young Eagles Program.
I would also like to thank the pilots and ground crew who helped make this happen.
Pilots participating were: Rod Scheel-Fergus Falls, Jim Swedback-Erhard, Wilber Fisher-Fargo, Jim Lehn-Fergus Falls, Kent Thompson-Perham, Mark Haberer-Elbow Lake, Ed Schmidt –Fergus Falls, Dave Becker-St. Paul, Neil Petik-Wahpeton, Dan Jennen-Fergus Falls, Jay Stein-Glyndon, Paul Satran-Detroit Lakes, and Keith Olson-Fergus Falls. The Ground Crew volunteers were: Richard Lenning-Vining, Lawrence Deal-Fergus Falls, Jim Thunselle-Fergus Falls, Duane Weathing (Doc)-Detroit Lakes, Dan Vickmark-Detroit Lakes, Wayne Dirkman-Fergus Falls, Gary Auseth-Fergus Falls, Kathy Lehn-Fergus Falls, Mike Beach-Battle Lake, and Alex Bohmer-Detroit Lakes. Photographs from the flight days can be seen at www.eaa1174.com. EAA 1174 is the local chapter of the Experimental Aircraft Association and the sponsor of this event. Funds to help finance the Young Eagles Program are raised thru our Annual Fly-In / Drive-In Breakfast which will held on June 15 this year. Please come out and Join us to support this worthwhile project.

The Daily Journal is happy to host community conversations about news and life in Fergus Falls and the surrounding area. As hosts, we expect guests will show respect for each other. That means we don't threaten or defame each other, and we keep conversations free of personal attacks. Witty is great. Abusive is not. If you think a post violates these standards, don't escalate the situation. Instead, flag the comment to alert us. We'll take action if necessary. It's not hard. This should be a place where people want to read and contribute -- a place for spirited exchanges of opinion. So those who persist with racist, defamatory or abusive postings risk losing the privilege to post at all.Post a comment
