November's Lunch & Learn ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ Come Fly with Us!

Time of departure:  12 noon, Friday, November 11th

Terminal:  Folsom Library

Gate:   Fischbach Room

Your captain:  Edward Chevrette

Meals:  None (but you can purchase one at the Library Cafe and the flight attendant will provide dessert)

Alumnus Paul Miller (class of 1970) inquired earlier this year if his first flight instructor, Edward Chevrette, could come to talk about his recently published book that recounts his career as an instructor and corporate jet pilot and how things have changed over the years with regard to teaching and commercial flying.  While Paul was at RPI on a navy scholarship, he was given the opportunity to pursue a private pilot’s license at the Rensselaer County Airport in Postenkill, where he met Ed.  Besides talking about his book, Wings of Fortune, Ed will also speak a little about how he got his book self-published by Troy Book Makers, a firm located downtown.

Paul went on to have a career as a naval aviator in the US Navy, and, after retirement, had a second career as an international airline captain. I’m sure Paul has interesting tales to tell, too.  :)

Hope you can join us.
