Marin 99s is supporting the STEM – Pegasus program at San Marin High where the seniors are building an RV-12. We contributed $1,000 towards the program and also took some of the seniors flying at the end of the school year. Val Westen and Sue Royce enjoyed taking the girls up for a flight around the Bay Area.

On April 26, 2019, Alyssa Abbey passed her check ride!!
“Hi everyone! Yesterday I passed my check ride and at last I’m a qualified private pilot. I feel so relieved and happy, and I’d recommend to anyone looking for a DPE to travel to Lincoln and go with Ashley Snider. She really put me at ease. AND – anyone looking for someone to fly right seat/be 2nd pair of eyes/navigator for $100 hamburgers or further afield – I’m very willing :)
Cheers,
Alyssa
