Great job all! Nice flightline!!

New Mexico Liaison Ron Keller was hoping for 3 volunteers at Rainy Mesa Airstrip, and 10 showed up 🙌

The RAF and NMPA crew built and painted a segmented circle around the windsock, repainted runway end markers, cleared rocks from the surface, and installed a brand new windsock. All wrapped up with a well-earned lunch courtesy of the NMPA.

Thank you to everyone who came out! ✈️

The NMPA Stick n Rudder Clinic held May 9th at Belen was a hit!

15 pilots plus a few CFIs participated. Donuts were consumed! After the presentation, some took advantage of available CFIs, others flew solo, others took exercises with them to practice at their leisure. Thanks to John Lorenz for this new NMPA Clinic!
