Aviation Club Up in the sky! Look! Is it a bird? ls it a plane? No, it's Mendel's Aviation Club on another excursion into the wild blue yon- der. Besides learning how to fly a plane, the club also sponsors classroom instruction. Members of the club learn all about the history of the airplane: from birds to glid- ers to rockets to Johnathan Livingston Sea- gull. The fundamentals of navigation is another topic discussed in the ground school. Of course, the group makes frequent trips to the airport, where a plane is char- tered and the club members try their hand at flying. Following the intensive instruc- tion program, each member is then eligible for his private pilot's license following a written exam. 92 Mendel's Winged Warriors, otherwise known as the Birdmen of Mendel, include top to bottom, Brion Eugene Bell, Terry Butler, Steven Supallc, and Tim Vaclav.
