Some of the budding character building activity for student pilots is long lost. For those at Schofields Flying Club in 1983, pumping Avgas from 200 litre drums was part of the adventure. And it was hard work, even though we were much younger then!
One rather encouraging fact though. All five Piper Warriors that were there then are still flying. CWW, FTU, IJK, MHE and SVK. MHE was pranged in a fatal and later purchased and rebuilt by Ray and Aminta at YSBK and is now PZG.
