Delta Fraternity holds an annual Wild Game Dinner benefiting Children’s hospital. An idea Lyle dreamed up after hosting Delta’s club dinner in Southern Seaplane’s hangar. Over the years, Delta Fraternity has raised over a quarter of a million dollars and supports a room at the Ronald McDonald House. This year’s Wild Game Dinner was hosted on April 5 with a toast to Lyle from all his fraternity brothers. In lieu of flowers please donate to Children’s Hospital in honor of Lyle Panepinto – Delta Fraternity.

It's with a very heavy heart that I share this. Today, we lost a great friend, pilot, father, husband, and icon of the seaplane community. Godspeed, Lyle Panepinto

The crash happened Wednesday night and the wreckage was found Thursday morning in a marshy area.

Has anyone ever seen a TRF like this before? Ideas? Moving something from Area 51 to KHMN.

Well Lake Buhlow is critically low! About 1.5’ average. So UFN there is no available training for float ratings. We are encouraging prospective students to get on our notification list. Call 318-880-7787 if you have any questions.

Hi All! I have access to about 10 30’ and larger pull behind campers just east of Rockford, cost is about 195 night and I believe a 5 night minimum. Delivery is available but very expensive. All campers are brand new to 5 years old. So if your driving up here is a great opportunity at a very reasonable price. Call me at (318) 880-7787 or message me here.
Thank you
