President’s Message (May 2007)

Welcome back from Sun & Fun! Your tan faces should reveal those who went. Speaking of which,....Kevin Wheeler and Denny Wass will summarize the adventure of flying down and back in a comfy (and slow) Cessna 172. I wonder if it was as exciting (in more ways than one) as Scott Richmond's trip back from California....thanks for sharing your stories with us, Scott.

We have a few things brewing in the agenda cauldron this month. Firstly, we would like to focus on our "Olde Eagles" by allowing them to view the new airport from above. I will be available at 6:00 if any one who has not had the opportunity would like to sail around the patch. If there are any other volunteer pilots willing to offer their services, have your plane on the ramp and ready to go at 6:00pm also. This may delay the start of the regular meeting, but I am sure you wont run out of conversational topics.

After our coffee break, we may amble down to John Gill's hangout and view his progress on his "7". Tom Kozura and John has offered to inform all you builders what to expect in the way of inspections and other milestones in the building process.

Also, if we have time, Tom will perform a “mock” ramp check, with no intimidation. Do we have any volunteers to lay their plane, credentials, and reputation on the line? Please give me a call if you can give "Olde Eagle" rides or art willing to be ramp checked. See you about 6pm on the 14th?
