The great weather that we have been having the last few days has brought about some quick accomplishments for Hummingbird Aviation clients. With a dry weather trend over the long range forecast everyone around the Hummingbird office is looking forward to getting some more stick time. Here are the last few days’ accomplishments. Congratulations to the students and instructors!

Tail Wheel Trainer

This last weekend Kyle Johnson completed an accelerated tail wheel endorsement. Kyle drove up from southwestern Iowa to experience the performance and thrill of the Husky. He was able to receive his tail wheel endorsement in just 2 days with less than 7 hours of flying. His instructor Dave Klemenhagen told me that Kyle picked up on the training very efficiently due to the accelerated tail wheel course.

Dave Scalora completed his Flight Review and Instrument Proficiency Check in the Bonanza A36. Dave took a break from flying but decided to get back into the air. After our flight Dave said it was great to get behind the controls again and was surprised how fast the skills came back to him. Dave plans to continue flying the Bonanza to finish up his check out and then start renting the six passenger aircraft to continue improving his skills and to have fun.  

Steven Goebel just returned from his first solo cross country. He flew from Flying
