Greetings all,
We had another good meeting 18 members & 3 guests, Jake Williams, Mike
Kemp & Burt Smith who had to take an early leave. Nice turnout despite the
95 degree heat!
Flying season is in full swing & the events & fly-ins are a plenty!
Our first Sunset Big Bird fly-in is Wednesday, July 14th. Setup is at 3pm, event
from 4pm to dusk. Any help in setup & running would be great help. The weather
is looking fantastic! Thanks so much to Lee Lubbers for doing all the legwork
on this one. I also understand dinner will be steaks!!! We will have at least a
couple of IMAC competitors in attendance, so it should be a good show. Big bird or not, come on out!
Our club picnic is going to be Saturday, the 24th. Setup is at 8am, the more
hands, the lighter the work. This is a great way to get our families together
for a good time.
I would also like to welcome Roger Ausema to the club, he is doing very well
in his training and should be solo’d pretty soon.
Another reminder about Tuesday evenings, that it is dedicated to training
new pilots. So if we could try to keep the skies quiet while they are up,
it is less stressful for them. I can still remember learning myself & if
the sky is filled with sport flying, it can be a little intimidating at first.
A reminder our TAG event is coming up on Aug. 7th. Would be great to have
all instructors & trainers there. We will be having a group of Girl Scouts
in attendance. I will also be bringing my generator so we can run flight
simulators, the more the better.
I am now halfway through my term & I would like to take the opportunity to
thank all of the officers & members pitching in to make this a great year. It
has been a pleasure to be involved.
Keep your wings level,
Mark
