Randy Berry

Hello ... my name is Randy Berry. I'm a private pilot, fixed-wing, SEL. I'd like to personally welcome you to this website; I serve as webmaster here. I am also honored to have been elected again as president of the Tree Top Flyers for 2012, as I have since 2001.

Libby and I bought the Cessna 150H shown below in April, 2010. She's a real beauty ... at least, we think so! Larry Maner and I went up in March, 2010 to tentatively check out the plane. We both came away very impressed. Then, there were some delays in getting the annual inspection completed and due to weather, but on April 10th, Mark DiBlasi (CFII-A&P-IA) and I went up and did a "pre-buy inspection" and then flew the plane back to my hangar. As of this writing, I have now accumulated about 85 hours in this particular plane, along with my other flying experience. She flies great! Here are some photos of me with the plane.

I bought the Baby Ace shown below in June, 2007, but I didn't get to fly the plane until late November after getting my license currency (BFR), tailwheel endorsement, and insurance. Then, I flew the plane about 18 miles from Gaston Airport to my hangar at Gilbert Airpark on December 1st. It was truly a rewarding experience, and she flew great! I enjoyed many pleasurable flights in my Ace. I sold the Baby Ace in May, 2010.
