Latest Edition of Propwash

March 2022

Jump into 2022

It’s been a busy 2021 despite COVID. We had a record number of 24 first solos.

Our skies were really busy especially on one Saturday we had more than 100 skydivers, Bobcat Formation, commercial flights and students flying that morning. I was totally caught by surprise when some daredevil skydivers jumped nude! Some jumped for the very first time from a helicopter. Affinity Aviation did a good job getting them all into action systematically and safely.

I did enjoy this edition of Propwash as we had different aspects of aviation, so I hope you will enjoy it too.

Congratulations to Bruce Dunlop, Pilot of the Year 2021 and Steve Schwartz, Student Pilot of the Year 2021.
