I built it with Russell Lepre and Bud Yerly's guidance and flew it happily for over 16 years. Family circumstances dictated that I sell the home and hangar I built at GA2, aka Peach State Aerodrome airpark and move north to New Jersey. It was a wonderful experience. Some years back, Ron Alexander started what was, at the time, a unique program for high school kids at GA2. We taught kids to restore antique and classic aircraft. For each 10 hours worked in the shop, we gave the youth a free hour of flight instruction including free CFI time. I was one of the first mentors volunteering to work with the kids. The program has been enormously successful and has served as the template for many other programs around the country. We have had about 30 kids to my knowledge get their Private Rating, a few have gotten A&P ratings, Instrument and Commercial too. In order to help maintain a healthy operating budget, I donated my dear N224XS to the program. I expect it will, in due course, come up for sale and the proceeds will help defray the operating costs of the "Ron Alexander Youth Aviation Program." If you are looking for a Europa Trigear with a near zero time rebuilt 912S, this will be a great choice! -------- Ira N224XS Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=505367#505367 Attachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/photo_b_145.jpeg ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 01:30:41 PM PST US Subject: Europa-List: Addendum to Farewell From: "rampil" As many in the Europa community have known, I am an FAA Designated Senior Aviation Medical Examiner. Over the years, I have, off list, or in person, helped a number of Europa Owners get, or maintain Special Issuance Medical certificates. While I have permanently closed my Georgia AME practice and am currently not doing exams, if a member of this list is having problems with their local AME or OKC, I would be happy to offer advice. Happy Holidays and fly Safe, Ira Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=505368#505368 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message europa-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/Europa-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/europa-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/europa-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
