Dale Lamport Fred Haughton Panel
Dale Lamport gives the group a interesting rundown on the history and business of First Air. Jim Crosbie presents Fred Haughton a Life Time Membership to the SFFC, while his son Dan looks on. I think Freds wondering if Dan knew this was going to happen. On a side note, Dan is the person that keeps the Clubs airplanes flying. Jim if you can find the hanger door openner, lets take this baby for a little flight.
Tires New Pilots
All you Super Cub owners take note, First Air has a good selection of tundra tires available. Contact First Air at "I think it will fit.com. Should I have touched that button, because there are more lights on this baby then most Christmas trees.
