December 2009

We now have a Web Cam and weather station! Thanks to Mike Luvara who generously provided and installed the equipment. Click here to see it.

whale watching MRY ramp

Thank you to everyone who came to the whalewatching flight! We had over 20 people in seven planes. We took over Del Monte’s ramp at MRY airport, we took over the Golden Tee restaurant, and we had a whale of a time. (Sorry couldn’t resist). Check out the pics on the AeroDynamic Facebook Album

Well done Garrett Grant who passed his Private Pilot knowledge test. Now just the practical test remains!

Congratulations to Gunther Hagleitner who successfully transitioned into a single seat Super Beast Yak 55.

We are putting together a whale watching flight on Sunday Dec 27th. Email us if you are interested. The plan is to fly down to Monterey, have lunch at the Golden Tee and then fly down the coast towards Big Sur looking for migrating gray whales. Alternatively folks could fly down the coat first, then come and meet for lunch at 12 noon. I need the numbers so I can book the restaurant (and the planes). Plane owners are welcome to come in their own planes too.

Dolphin pod

Last year we saw not only whales but a pod of dolphins too!
