Flying with groups / Associations, my experience with QPA this weekend

[Rob Schaffer]

This weekend I had the chance to fly with a local Pilots group, the Quakertown Pilots Association. It was a blast, and I encourage any newcommers / low-time pilots on the boards here to search out any groups or associations in your area, having a network like this can be very fun, informative and helpfull!

Here's my blog post about the flight,

QPA Breakfast Run - March 7, 2010

The airport atmosphere feels so 'alive' when there is activity like this,.. (the group upon arrival at Wyoming Valley airport KWBW)

You've actually crossed paths with us more than once - some maintenance issue at OSH?

If the Wx cooperates this misfit will be there.

True in its brief entirety, but the mighty Free Bird was stationery at the time.
