[Pilots] CAP C182 grounding update

[Greg Bestul]

Hello again MN Wing pilots,

I have some good news on the C182 groundings.
John Quilling with his knowledge and hard work was able to clear 4 C182s for flight.,
N643CP, N828CP,N853CP,N878CP. Are cleared to fly. We still have two left (N439CP and N377CA) that are grounded and JQ may be required to pull the cylinders to inspect them.
We are the first Wing to clear any of the C182s, and in fact they are using are example for other wings.
A big thank you to John for getting these planes back in the air safely and so quickly.

I will continue to update you when the other planes become usable again.

Take Care,

Capt. Greg Bestul
