Full Description “Alaskan Flying Adventures: Flying the Iditarod and the Glaciers of Denali”
Tuesday January 17, 2006 5:45 pm at the Waypoint Café at CMA

On Tuesday evening January 17 join the Ventura County Ninety-Nines for their monthly dinner and aviation safety and education program at the Waypoint Café on the field at Camarillo Airport. Thomas Koff will talk about his Alaskan flying experiences: flying the Iditarod and his summer job flying on the glaciers of Denali (Mt. McKinley). Each year he loads up his Cessna 185 with a bunch of junk and his dog and in the middle of April and heads to Alaska, returning to California around the end of November. In the past few years he has been flying a cloud seeding contract for Santa Barbara County in the winter. It’s interesting flying in all the conditions we were always taught to avoid.

Tom has had a very interesting career teaching bacteriology/parasitology as a professor at Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo, as an FBO owner, software design consultant and instructor and, most importantly, a commercial pilot.

For ratings, Tom holds a CFII Single Engine, ME and Glider; ATP MEL; commercial privileges SEL, Sea & Glider, and private privileges for helicopters. In 35 years of flying he has accumulated over 12,000 hours PIC in all sorts of aircraft. He flies about 650 hours each year – living the dream.

This program is one of the regular free monthly aerospace education programs on the third Tuesday of each month sponsored by the Ventura County Ninety-Nines. www.vc99s.org . The 99s will not ask for contributions from attendees at the January 17 program. This program is not part of the VC99s Winter 2006 Pilot Proficiency Class Series.

Dinner begins at 5:30 pm and Tom Koff will begin speaking at 6:30 pm. Please remember to phone your dinner order into the Waypoint if you plan to arrive after 6 pm (805-388-2535). Please feel free to invite your pilot friends to join us for a great program. Please use on line registration as seating is limited.
