EAA AirVenture Musuem“Train With Us, Then Fly For Us!” has been the long-standing philosophy at San Juan College where student pilots have been trained specifically to become first officers for Mesa Air Group since 1989. Farmington resident and Mesa founder, Larry Risley, approached the college in this northwestern New Mexico community about training pilots for his company.
“Just fly the plane Jim, just fly the plane,” came the voice on a zero visibility flight where terrific wind shears battered the Piper Archer II. “Don’t look at the instruments. Don’t pick up the radio. Don’t worry about communicating. Fly the airplane.”
The words, a vital memory imprint of a person no longer in the cockpit, were still very real and those of Ray Rearick who guided Jim Curtiss, Areo Trader’s Flyer of the Month, to a safe emergency landing in Manville, Texas during what he described as his most “frightening flight.”
