"A loss to all of us"
Charter member Betty McColley, wife of Dick McColley, passed away on June
16, 2008. Betty and Dick were among the original members of the club when
it was founded as the "Honeywell Flying Club" in 1981. Betty was the one
who suggested the name "Arizona Blue Sky Flyers" when we became a private club.
