Student pilots will suffer Dear Editor: Back in March of 1980 your newspaper carried a photograph entitled Wings over Huronia showing some of the pilots who received their awards at the first annual Wings banquet. The picture will probably be the only picture of graduating pilots out of the Huronia Airport due to a decision made by the Huronia Airport Com- mission at its meeting on March 1. The 21 area pilots that supported my ap- plication, along with people wishing to obtain their pilots licence or to rent an airplane might have to look at other airports such as Parry Sound, Barrie and Orillia that provide the approved flying service. As for the tourists that come to see Huronia from the air and the beautiful fall colours - well, maybe the mayor might take them up for a flight! By the way, Airport Commissioner chairman, Bob Sullivan, received his pilots licence at Huronia Airport. I assume that explains his comments "companies contracted under the old terms didn't always look after the airport's in- terests.' An airport is only as good as the service it provides! Signed, --Joe Rzepecki Pilot. Wie need your help Dear Editor: The St. John Ambulance Brigade is Meseetne assistance from the Midland-Penetanguishene communities and surrounding area.
