Many of these occurred off-airport, and a few were in very remote areas. So, although we don t plan to crash, we should have a plan for surviving afterward. This includes equipping the aircraft with good restraint systems as well as keeping first aid and survival equipment onboard. Come and participate in this seminar as we share ideas for Stayin' Alive!

Thank you to our public works department for all the summer maintenance! ************************************************************************************* N13 is looking for the following: Are you upgrading your sim? Our local airport N13 is working to expand interest in aviation. As part of that we would like to acquire a flight simulator to be used for Boy Scouts aviation merit badge, STEM teachers & students, and the local Children s museum. Ideally such a flight simulator should be equipped to run the A2A Cessna 172 and Piper PA28 aircraft, as these are ideal for teaching the basics of aviation. Such a simulator will be physically located in our new FBO building. We would like to hear from anyone who might be interested in donating used equipment for this purpose. For further details on our activities, you may check out our web page at Or please send me an airportcoordinator@bloomsburgpa.org ********************************************************************************** Pipeline Survey and Leak Detection If you, or someone you know, has the following type helicopter, and is interested in Pipeline Survey and Leak Detection work, please contact: Vinny Saunders: vsaunders@neweratechinc.com Bell 206L3 or Bell 206B3 (preferred) High skid gear No air conditioning Glare shield can be modified to accept Paravion mount (two drilled holes) No flotation kit No other camera system No other light system *************************************************************************** Anne-Camille Collins is a wedding and portrait photographer from Central Arkansas.
