2 Bloomsburg Municipal Airport NEWSLETTER June 2018 On the Horizon / Save the Date: When: Sat. – 2 June Where: Bloomsburg Municipal Airport Time: 11:00 – 12:00 PM Lunch will be provided / donations appreciated! What: FAA Seminar for Wings Credit: Presenter: John W. Sibole, Jr. – FAASTeam Program Manager Topic: Survival Stayin’ Alive Of 44 aircraft accidents in the Harrisburg District over six years, everyone onboard survived in 38 of them! 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!

We look forward to you facilitating another seminar soon! We especially liked the mask! 9 Bloomsburg Municipal Airport NEWSLETTER June 2018 A Note of Thanks: • Mr. John Kerrick – Hi-Tech Helicopters – who graciously donated the helicopter and it’s time for Jessica Robinson to share with the STEM Program. • The many people who worked behind the scenes making N13 the best it can be! • 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 www.bloomsburgairport.org. Or please send me an email: [email protected]
