He is also owner and operator of Faraldo’s Flying Service— a busi- ness furnishing flight instruction and rental airplanes to the public, There is nothing especially remarkable in these two facts. Nearly all airport towns provide sjmilar service. It is , only when you dig down and investigate the Faraldo story that you discover unique news items which are important to Key Westers and which also reflect George and his wife, Norma, as being amongst our town’s foremost. “Goodwill Ambassadors.” ? : ee For instance, Key West and Meacham Airport have an out- standing reputation throughout the nation for safe flight opera- tions. As an average citizen, you might wonder how this fame. could effect your personal welfare until you remember the num- ber of airplane tours which go through the town each year. One tour alone, “The Flying Farmers,” which will arrive here soon, consists of 200 airplanes and approximately 500 passengers. These tours bring money and of much greater importance, out- side publicity to Key West. You may rest assured that these large groups of airplanes would by-pass Key West if George was not constantly ‘on the ball’—spreading the word of the convenience and safety of Meacham Field and proving his word by the actual records of his own flight operations. Insurance companiesyare so pleased with the Faraldo Flying Service safety record—more than 50,- 000 hours of flying without an injury—that they practically let George write fis own ticket regarding personal liability and property damage. And Buddy, when an underwriting company shows such /confidence—especially in the aviation field—you can figure that they’ve done some mighty careful checking! George And Norma Faraldo George and Norma. founded Faraldo’s Flying Service in 1945. It was an ambition which had possessed George since 1936 when he first began to fly. World War II and service in * the Navy delayed its fulfillment. It is almost 1955 now—a decade later—and the Faraldos have proven that George’s ambition could not only be profitable to himself but also of immense benefit to his hométown. George and Norma love their work, They spend-as much as twelve hours per day at Meacham, An average of five privately-owned aircraft land at the airport daily- throughout the year. Passengers are greeted by either George or his wife, assisted in every way possible, and encouraged to make their stay in Key West a long one. Can you understand now why I say that the Faraldos are amongst our foremost “Goodwill Ambassadors”? Flight Instruction And Charter Service The flight instruction provided by Faraldo’ Flying Service is outstanding. It is the only CAA-Approved school in Key West. George holds ratings to instru¢t in single and multi- engined aircraft, land and sea, private or commercial. He is also a CAA-Approved Maintenance Inspector for aircraft and engines. ; Fred Johnson is Chief Flight Instructor at the Faraldo Flying School. He, too, holds similar ratings and excellent Trecommendations from the Civil Aeronautics Administration. Learning to fly is an inexpensive hobby. Of course, a great deal depends upon inborn ability but the average man or woman can solo for less than a hundred dollars, In this day and age, a guy’s’almost an old ‘foggey’ if he doesn’t have a private license. Experienced pilots can charter just about any kind of air: plane they wish at Faraldo’s. He has eight—Stinsons, Globe Swifts, Ercoupes, SeaBees, Aeronicas, Cubs, ete: Some of these are for sale if you're interested in owning your own plane. Air Taxi Service And Sightseeing Air Taxi Service to Miami is only $50. Return trip, free. That’s mighty cheap transportation if you’re in a hurry, Es- pecially since that price includes from one to three passengers! Sightseeing over Key West is’a Faraldo Flying Service speciality. Rates vary from $3 up, depending upon the amount. of territory a passenger wishes to see. These sightseeing trips appeal to Key Westers as well as tourists. Another service which George Faraldo is developing con- sists of aerial photography. Realtors and prospective land suy- ers are always interested in, securing good aerial pictures of Key land. .Such photographs often save days of beating through mangrove swamps by engineers. They show the contour of the land, whether it is* submerged or fairly high ground, and other vital factors which might concern a buyer or seller. Along with his interest in aerial photography, George is also making beautiful-colored pictures of Monroe County scenes. You'll have to see these to really appreciate their beauty. Next time you're by the airport, be sure and stop in and ask George or Norma about these pictures. You won’t find any better in the art stores downtown. Motorcycles And Scooters Besides sales and service of airplanes, the Faraltio Flying Service also sells, repairs, and maintains scooters and motor- cycles new and used. At the present time, there is a Mustang on the floor which hasn't even been removed ffom the shipping crate. George is offering an éspecially good bargain in a new Triumph Thunderbird which he is selling at several hundred dollars under the list price. There is also a new Cycle-Scoot (only $189), and a used, completely reconditioned Triumph Terrier. Located On Roosevelt Boulevard Faraldo Flying Service is located at Meacham Field, East Roosevelt Boulevard, telephone 2-5422. Neither Key Wester nor Visitor should miss visiting this interesting place. True, the exterior ef the Meacham Field buildings do not look so ‘hot’ but Perhaps this will change when the Monroe Courfty Airport De- velopment Plan becomes a reality, TOYLAND Second shipment of TOYS and GAMES for all ages — 6 months to 80 years.
