This has been a sad week, annother fellow aviatior and friend, his wings are forever folded. Scott Richmond, a pilot here at Tehachapi passed away Saturday the 13th. Truly tragic, as he was only 58, athletic and so very much full of life.
Pray for his family. All of us here who know him will deeply mis his friendship, zest for living and the happiness he always shared.

Weekly Report
Cold and snowy in tehachapi! Not much flying as Skyhawks are not set up for known icing.
Anyone flying into Tehachapi needs to be aware of the weather, as this place has it's own "micro climate" that is not always related to whats happening in either Bakersfield or Mojave. Some rules are:
1. Call the local AWOS number and get the current conditions. The phone number is (661) 823-0473. If flying in, dial up 120.025
2. Never assume runway 29 is in use.
3. Use your radio! CTAF is simple, 123.00 on your radio dial, and it could save a lot af grief, and maybe even a mid-air or two. (we have had some really close calls lately)
4. After you tie down look me up and say Hi!
Call me up for some mountain flying tips or my course sometime. It's a lot of fun, and you will get to see some really great country.
