Last weekend 28 Cessna
195s from both East and West coasts, including Canada gathered in Tupelo,
Mississippi to share their love for the magnificent classic aircraft. Their
time was spent exploring the beauty of northern Mississippi, visiting William
Faulkner's home in Oxford, a working Catfish farm and even Elvis Presley's
home.

"I would not be in college at all if it were not for that scholarship, and with plans to transfer to Auburn University in the fall of 2014, I have had to tighten my flying funds in order to prepare for the increased cost of school," she said, "I am a full time college student at AUM currently holding a 4.0 GPA in pursuit of a mechanical engineering degree, which will ultimately allow me greater opportunities in the aviation industry."
Savannah has a schedule for her flight training amid her college education but she needs funds to complete a CFI and multiengine rating during the holidays. In a video presentation, Samuel Barth of New York, the recipient of a $2,500, told how he is pursuing his aviation career. -B Meyer FMI: http://www.cessna195.org/
