The Eastern Idaho Flying Club invites you to a Birthday event this weekend at the Rigby airport to celebrate the club's birthday. It was Nov 1, 2019 when our club went into official operation. So the EIFC turns 3 years old this month! This Saturday from 2-4pm we'll have cake and ice cream and hot cocoa at our hangar. Come out and help us celebrate, and enjoy some aviation camaraderie.

Fly-in's welcome. We're at 87 Mustang way at the southeast hangars. Parking is limited. There is transient parking on the west side, and some limited parking along the taxiway leading to the SE hangars if you have big tires. Or you can park at the north end and hoof it to the SE hangars. ;)

Spread the word! This invitation is open to anyone in the area who would like to learn more about the club, or aviation in general.

A trike flight meant all the airplanes had to come out. 😉

Yesterday Ryan Arfmann became the most recently minted pilot in American history! Okay perhaps too dramatic. But he passed with flying colors and I'm very proud of him. He worked hard for his win yesterday and it all paid off. We flew to Hamilton MT for it, and I got to be his first passenger on the flight home! (technically second passenger since the DPE on a checkride is a pax). Ryan dealt with some significant hurdles over the last few weeks, but got through them like a boss! He even had a real-life emergency on the flight to Hamilton, the alternator went out! The A&P there was able to fix the problem though, while Ryan knocked out his oral.
