Wisp Ski Trip
We are planning the annual Fly and Ski Adventure for Friday, January 20th.  An early departure and a 1 hour C-172 flight to the panhandle of Maryland will put us on the slopes of the Wisp Ski Resort as they open.  After a day of shooshing down the slopes not packed with the weekend crowd, we will return to DC before dark.  We arrange the ground transportation, and if we get enough sign-ups we get group rates, as well.  Please reserve your plane and let the Manassas desk know that you plan to attend.

Diamond TwinStar Class
On Saturday, December 3rd from 9 to noon, Ray de Haan will teach a ground class at Leesburg on the DA-42 TwinStar.  As we get into winter flying, this is an awesome traveling machine.  IN addition to 2 engine redundancy, it is certified for flight into known icing (FIKI) conditions.  This is a great way to start your checkout in this very capable twin, or to take the first step towards your multi-engine rating.  Contact the Leesburg desk to sign up.
