Next Meeting - Tuesday November 9, 2004
Tuesday September 14, 2004
- Our regular bi-monthly meeting was held yesterday at
the BC Aviation Museum.
Attendance: 16 - Speaker: Bert Clark
Topic: Pilot Training in Canada with emphasis on his personal experiences as a
Flight Commander at Moose Jaw. One Turkish student was having problems. He was
very heavy on the controls. He asked the student " Do you like girls ?" "Yes ,
Sir " was the reply. How do you treat girls ? Gently was the Student's reply.
So Bert said "All those airplanes are girls and treat them nice". This cured
the problem..
- Our V-P Dick Frampton videotaped this presentation .
Copies of this lecture and previous lectures have been presented to the BC
