I was associated with Pipeair shortly after the company started. Bill Paterson bought McKenzie Flying School, obtained the Piper agency and hung his shingle up.
Bill Parow was CFI, Roy Goon who I recall was Gerties CFI must have retired.
This was late 61 according to my log book.
Bib Stillwell started his training with Pipeair on the Cherokee in Jan of 62 and I was lucky to be his instructor. Have never found another pupil with the natural talent that man had..
Bib shortly after bought Brookes Aviation and obtained the Beechcraft agency which p*ssed Paterson off mightily as he was expecting to flog him a Comanche.
Anyone know what eventually happened to Pipeair? I only stayed there till june 62...Paterson apparently did not like me cancelling flying with ab initio pupils in howling northerlies.
