OK, this is a little out of character, but last night, I “joined” (I think that’s the term) an aviation webinar—mostly because it was presented by the son of my friend Barry Schiff but also because the subject was intriguing.
Webinars, Cherry Bombs, and Flying Schools
Key Takeaways:
- An aviation webinar on challenging Southern California airspace prompts the author to reminisce about their early career in flight instruction.
- The author recounts a youthful, ill-advised prank involving a cherry bomb at a flight instructor meeting and their subsequent path to becoming a CFI in the 1960s, where they also authored a successful exam guide.
- They went on to establish and run a Part 141 flight school, Midwest Flight Center, a venture that eventually led to an offer to work for the FAA.
