Sunrise Departure On a sunny Saturday morning, the Texins Flying Club took off from McKinney (KTKI) to Thaden Field (KVBT) in Bentonville, Arkansas, for our Annual Flyout. Twenty-two members and eight planes were all set for a day of fun, flying and friendship.
So often in general aviation we hear stories about how sound aeronautical decision making (ADM) "could have" prevented this or that. I wonder how often we get to hear how good ADM actually did work to keep folks safe and break the accident chain. On a recent club activity, we had a great example of how this club promotes aviation safety and how being in the club makes flying more enjoyable.
A big thanks to Scott Kirkland and Gary Cooper for coordinating our club fly-out event to Mt Pleasant (KOSA) to visit the Mid-America Flight Museum on Saturday May 7, 2022. In all we had 27 members and guests and 10 airplanes (including all of the club planes) out there.
