April 10AG Pilot Requirements12:00:00 PM12:55:00 PMBeverly Berry & John BeckerBeverly Berry is the Owner of Eagle Vistas Ag Pilot Flight School established 17 years ago with her late husband, Randy Berry. Randy developed Minimum Flight Training Standards for Agricultural Pilots (Crop Dusters) in an effort to improve the safety of training for Ag Pilots. With the commitment of other Ag Pilot Flight Instructors who support this standard of training, we continue to train Pilots from all over the US and Foreign Countries as well. John Becker, an experienced Ag Pilot, Military Pilot, and CFI with Eagle Vistas will join Beverly to discuss what is needed of a Pilot to become an Ag Pilot. We will also discuss the job opportunities for Ag Pilots. A crucial need for Fixed Wing Ag Pilots is to have strong skills in flying Tailwheel Aircraft. Advanced Tailwheel Landing Training and Flying Techniques better prepare Ag Pilots to transition to heavier Ag Planes. Our Pre-Ag Flight Training program also covers Up Set/Spin Recovery as it relates to Ag Flying. Eagle Vistas provides the foundation for a new Ag Pilot with training in basic application patterns, safe maneuvering techniques, GPS Operations, spray equipment familiarization, Pesticide License Requirements, and ground loading operations. Our Ag Training is all in High Performance Aircraft.

I started the sculpting process by molding directly from the face, shoulders, and hand of Astronaut Aldrin . The resulting artwork is not only a example of fine art , it is also a historic document displaying every pore, every rinkel and even the fingerprints of Buzz Aldrin . I molded his shirt, tie, cufflink and his finger ring in my original sculpture of Buzz . Standing on his hand are two miniatures of Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong in their space suits erecting the flag of the United States as they did on the moon. I have spent more than two hours with Astronaut Aldrin and have a number of comments and quotes from our conversations. I feel honored to not only have met Dr. Aldrin but to have created a sculpture molded from him, is more than a dream come true. The sculpture is cast in bronze and a thousand years from now a child will look upon the face of the sculpture, the face of one of the first humans, from the planet earth, to walk on the moon of the earth .

I started the sculpting process by molding directly from the face, shoulders, and hand of Astronaut Aldrin . The resulting artwork is not only a example of fine art , it is also a historic document displaying every pore, every rinkel and even the fingerprints of Buzz Aldrin . I molded his shirt, tie, cufflink and his finger ring in my original sculpture of Buzz . Standing on his hand are two miniatures of Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong in their space suits erecting the flag of the United States as they did on the moon. I have spent more than two hours with Astronaut Aldrin and have a number of comments and quotes from our conversations. I feel honored to not only have met Dr. Aldrin but to have created a sculpture molded from him, is more than a dream come true. The sculpture is cast in bronze and a thousand years from now a child will look upon the face of the sculpture, the face of one of the first humans, from the planet earth, to walk on the moon of the earth .

Sat. April 13Author's Corner Presentation9:15:00 AM10:00:00 AMJana Leigh SheafferA wing walker by profession, Jana Leigh has traveled extensively, performing her daring wing walking feats for crowds both locally and throughout the U.S. She began her career in early 2004 at the Flying Circus Aerodrome in Bealeton ,Virginia when a friend took her there to see the air show. She was captivated as she watched the agile Wing Walker carefully maneuver himself across the wing of a 450 Stearman biplane. Her first reaction was, " How can this be legal? " And then she thought to herself, " I want to do that! " After the show, and out of curiosity, she asked if the flying circus was looking for another wing walker. She was told that they were , in fact, looking and that if she was serious, to follow up with an audition. She was very serious ! Jana Leigh passed the audition, and now nearly 20 years later, you can still find her suspended from the wing of an airplane high above the ground. Adventure lives in her soul! Jana Leigh DeSantis Sheaffer is also an author, transformational speaker, pilot, and avid aviation enthusiast. Her speaking engagements are geared toward inspiring the audience to realize their true passions, potentials and dreams. What may seem impossible isn't if you have the right mindset – she is living proof of that!PresentationFlorida Air Museum

Sat. April 13Author's Corner Presentation2:00:00 PM2:45:00 PMJana Leigh Sheaffer "The Adventures Of the Old Crow Biplane - The Wing Walker"A wing walker by profession, Jana Leigh has traveled extensively, performing her daring wing walking feats for crowds both locally and throughout the U.S. She began her career in early 2004 at the Flying Circus Aerodrome in Bealeton ,Virginia when a friend took her there to see the air show. She was captivated as she watched the agile Wing Walker carefully maneuver himself across the wing of a 450 Stearman biplane. Her first reaction was, " How can this be legal? " And then she thought to herself, " I want to do that! " After the show, and out of curiosity, she asked if the flying circus was looking for another wing walker. She was told that they were , in fact, looking and that if she was serious, to follow up with an audition. She was very serious ! Jana Leigh passed the audition, and now nearly 20 years later, you can still find her suspended from the wing of an airplane high above the ground. Adventure lives in her soul! Jana Leigh DeSantis Sheaffer is also an author, transformational speaker, pilot, and avid aviation enthusiast. Her speaking engagements are geared toward inspiring the audience to realize their true passions, potentials and dreams. What may seem impossible isn't if you have the right mindset – she is living proof of that!PresentationFlorida Air Museum
