Jeez this brings back some memories from a time long gone.
Rob Pickhaver and Bev Roediger instructing.
DCA sending Rick Tate along to do our license tests.
Choice of four runways but all operations to the west. To the east lay a shotgun wielding chap who was convinced our aircraft were spraying his washing with oil.
Joe Drage being a regular visitor in his C195.
Bill Bell and his $1000 Chipmunks.
Bill Waterton and his Aeronca and a rather unique approach to circuits.
Ham Oliver and his Tiger Moth.
An open day including a Dragon Rapide (?) Wirraway and assorted Tiger Moths.
The Thorpe T18 doing a submarine approach through the power lines.
An autogyro that convinced me to avoid them like the plague.
And Doc. Always happy to let me hang around; to the extent of giving me a tractor endorsement to help get PKU and CYD out of the bogs that developed on 18 from time to time.
They were good days.

Reason: Rick gave a license to a seriously under confident youth. I should at least get his name right.
