Spring Break
'The sky's the limit' for OSU Flying Club
Abstract:
Members of the OSU Flying Club have their heads in the clouds on a regular basis, and they're not daydreaming.
This nonprofit organization is dedicated to giving members and alumni of OSU and Linn-Benton Community College (LBCC) an inexpensive opportunity to learn how to fly, with a strong emphasis on safety....

I learned to fly through the flying club in 1986 and I have since obtained my flight instructor ratings for single, multi-engine and instrument. OSU Flying Club is an opportunity for students and staff to see the world from a different perspective, one from above!

An ability to get a private pilot's license, that is really cool!

I soloed at Corvallis Airport in 1952, and eventually went on to become a Flight Instructor (in addition to an OSC Engineer!).
Been flying for 57 years, still flying! No club in those days, so four of us bought a Piper Cub for $600.00, and nobody had enough money, so we paid $50.00 each down, and $20.00 per month until it was paid for!
Once we soloed, we flew from a 900 foot grass strip across the river to the east. It's all houses now!
Ah, the good old days!
