President’s Message (October 2007)

Hey Flyboys (and girls, too), The colors are brilliant! There are still a few good days left to enjoy the seasonal array. We could still use some more pictures to put in the calendar, so if you would like to submit a picture of your plane, bring it to the meeting on the 8th. If you don’t have a pic, call me and we may be able to schedule a photo shoot with Dave Meinke, especially while we have such a colorful backdrop.

We had a good meeting last month with Tom Kraschen from MDOT-AERO speaking on LSA certification. He even gave us a choice of topics. This month's meeting will feature a gentleman who is working on the project of compiling a directory of all the airports in Mich that are not listed on the chart or in the Mich directory. He is always looking for new ones that he has not represented yet, so if you know of some obscure strip somewhere, bring all you know about it so he can include it.

We had a nice flyout to Double JJ Saturday, with 7 planes leaving......but only 6 returning. A total of 15 people enjoyed a fine breakfast. Dave Meinke was a "late show" so he missed the meal, but not the beautiful flight. Oh, I would like to thank my good friends, Larry and Kevin for helping me retrieve my plane the next day, and thank Tom, Dennis, and John for hauling me and my passengers back home. See you at the meeting.

-Vic Johnston
