The colors are starting to come out nicely. Peak foliage is usually the week after Columbus Day in Connecticut. It was great to see our first Ray scholar Bryce Wiekrykas complete his training and receive his private pilot certificate. This is another great addition to our list of educational accomplishments. We expect to be approved by EAA for another candidate next year. ## Places to Fly Everyone with an airplane should be familiar with, and fly to Fishers Island. It is only a few miles or so south of Groton. You can walk to the beach from the ramp. The runways are in great shape.
