    To Whom it May Concern,

    I was wondering if I could get information on flying lessons? I am currently in the oil/petrolium bussniess and was wanting some information on how to go about obtaining my piolet's licence? Any information would be appriciated.

    Thank you,
    Dylan Babb-Ampson

    I have been occasionally transiting Tradewind Airport beginning in early l952 and would like to know the original construction and opening date.

    Your information would be appreciated.
