THE ULTIMATE ENGINE

is in a class of its own. In fact, you could call it perfect as it is built detailed step by detailed step, slowly and carefully, to the highest degree of excellence possible. Let's repeat that

- - to the highest degree of excellence possible. Everything a top quality engine shop does on its top-of-the-line rebuilt engine is done on an ULTIMATE engine, including balancing all rotating mass to within one gram, porting, polishing, and etc. ...But where they stop and button up the engine for delivery, the ULTIMATE engine technicians are only HALF WAY through! And it is the second half of the engine rebuilding journey that puts the ULTIMATE engine in a class all by itself.

• State of the art stainless steel alloy roller rocker • All cam shaft lobes are EXACTLY the same, which arms are standard with ULTIMATE engines. This STC'd rocker is critical to the precise moment each valve should open or arm eliminates heavy side loads by producing straight up and shut. That ultimate precision results in perfect valve timing, down action of the valves within their guides. Some benefits higher cylinder pressure and greater engine efficiency. are dramatic reduction of friction and wear, increased power • Not only are valve springs precisely calculated and and safety, smooth idle and elimination of wear particles. matched, but valve seats are ground concentric within 2/10ths • In virtually all engines, the crankshaft is not of 1 .OOOths of an inch. Most engine shops are lucky if they get perfectly centered, and in fact is off center by as much as 20 to within 4,OOOths, assuming they even check it. thousandths of an inch. The ULTIMATE's crankshaft is • Deburring of crankcase, both inside and out. That’s precisely centered. The gain in power and smoothness is well right inside and outside. This not only relieves 60% of all worth this exacting and time-consuming process. stress areas, but it results in much cleaner oil and smoother oil • All valve guide clearances are brought to minimums flow back into the oil sump. and are EXACTLY the same.

If your “high- flying 99 career has you “up in the air ” and your skin is feeling or showing the effects, Lancaster, the international skin care company, would like to hear from you.

Lancaster is looking for active pilots to try Skin Therapy, a new facial moisturizer, and to participate in a clinical study. Skin Therapy, which was launched in the United States and Europe last year, delivers pure, natural oxygen to the skin. Extensive testing has demonstrated that Skin Therapy increases the skin's moisture levels for a fresher, healthier looking complexion. Skin Therapy's benefits for women of various professions and lifestyles have already been demonstrated in clinical studies. Now, however, we want to test its benefits for people who may not always get enough oxygen in the course of their daily routine. Participants must agree to be examined by a noted dermatologist and will receive financial compensation and free product.

We want to hear from you if you: Spend a minimum of 20 hours per week flying • Are between the ages of 35-55 • Live in or frequently fly to the New York tri-state area • Have no past or current major dermatological conditions. If you are interested please call or write to: 212/546-2050, Jackie Weihs, GCI Group, 777 Third Avenue, New York, AT 10017 and let us know how to get in touch with you.

Sparkling skyscrapers rest cheek by jowl with centu­ ries old buildings in a lively blend of yesterday and tomorrow. Bring the family because Halifax and Nova Scotia offer an array of pastimes and events for each member of the crew.

Sheraton Halifax will be Convention Hotel The Sheraton Halifax will be our berth during the 1995 International Convention. It is “docked” on the harbor in the historic downtown core of Halifax. As you leave the hotel, you can almost step back to the time of tall ships and privateers for one of the first things you see is the Bluenose II, Nova Scotia’s sailing am­ bassador. Listen for the traditional noon gun as you explore the Halifax of another era. Halifax was founded in 1749 by Colonel Edward Cornwallis as a counterbalance to the French fortress of Louisburg. Since that time, the city has grown and expanded because of its lucrative seafaring trade, its role as a major naval port, and because it is a center for commerce, research and education in Atlantic Canada.

Much to see and do Within walking distance of the Sheraton are museums, art galleries and historic sites, including the Halifax Citadel Fortress, Canada’s most visited National Historic Site. Join your fellow 99s in sampling some of Nova Scotia’s world famous seafood. Seek out establishments featuring the “Taste of Nova Scotia” symbol. Stroll along the waterfront to visit the restored buildings and warehouses. Shop in the array of shops offering unique and indigenous handcrafts. Take a day trip to Peggy’s Cove and other interesting sights. We invite you to join us for the renowned Nova Scotia International Tattoo, a musical and entertainment extravaganza which must be seen to be believed!

Which should I aim for? What are the of operations, as can airline flying. Corporate flying can range dfferences in the pay, working conditions and ben­ from one airplane, one pilot flying a single individual, efits?

In short, the competition is probably the pay, “bus driver vs. limousine driver” analogy.
