Matthew
Brakeman |
It was another eventful week at the airport, and
the staff at Northern Air is thrilled to
announce three happy new pilots.
Matthew Brakeman of Bonners
Ferry successfully completed his first solo
flight on August 18.
Matthew is heading overseas
at the end of September and is hoping to
complete his pilot training before then.
Jeff Pederson, a recent
resident of Bonners Ferry, passed his flight
instructor with instrument rating (CFII)
certification on August 16.
Jeff was formerly an air
traffic controller in
Oakland,
California, and has retired here in
beautiful Boundary
County.
Michelle Spear of Sandpoint
is our newest private pilot.

Michelle
Spear and her dad, Michael |
She completed her flight test on the evening of
August 16 in her dad’s Cessna 172, just in time
to head off to college for the year.
Come out to the airport on
August 27 for a delicious Huckleberry Pancake
Breakfast from 8
to 10:30 a.m.
The pancake breakfasts,
held on the last Saturday of each month in the
summer, are hosted by the local chapter of the
EAA (Experimental Aircraft Association) to raise
money toward a scholarship for flight training.
Your donation of only $5
will help a local high school student start
their dream of flight.
See you there!
