An amazing two post history!
RVAC has a very long history that includes a bunch of instructors of varying standards and each running their own flying school.
It also includes a chronic history of mismanagement and repeated bankruptcy, hirings and firings and the re-hiring of those who repeatedly screwed it
up repeatedly previously followed by the odd coat of fresh paint once every 20 years or so.
To succeed at RVAC requires a lay back attitude, never rock the boat, and be able to throw back the beers and show an appropriate elbow on the bar with a never ending smile was usually the way to appear like a good instructor.
Knowing how to drink with the flower bombers and toilet paper cutters was also a useful thing to do in order to stay alive in a club like political minefield.
That mine field is the same today as it was 30 years ago, and many of the same problem personalities are still there and will be there till they turn up their toes or get a toe tag.
What's that about flying? Well that's what you do for a living between resting your elbow or leaning up against the same spot at the same place every night and learning the age old geriatric secret of making a single beer last as long as possible especially if you paid for it.
