NOVEMBER 2013 PIKE S PEAK F LYER PAGE 3 October proved to be a great turnout for our last Young Eagle rally in 2013. Brian Esch and Chris Sedgwick provided safe aircraft movement. Nathan Hawkins and Josiah Bookman (not pictured) handled the loading and unloading of Young Eagles and Aaron Bookman kept the certificates printing.
