EAA Chapter 704 held it regular monthly meeting on September 10, 2007 at the Sparta Paul C Miller Airport pilot’s lounge with 20 members and guests present.
The meeting began with a presentation by Thomas Krashen from Michigan D. O. T. Aviation Division. He showed slides and held and spoke generally on the subject of Sport Pilot license and Light Sport Airplanes. It was of particular interest because several of our group are now flying in that category.
The minutes of previous meeting were approved as printed in the newsletter. There is $1979.09 in the check book with all bills paid.
President Johnston reported on the recent “Pork on the Hoof’ program held at our airport recently. Paul Zimmer reported that 71 Young Eagles were flown that day with around 130 people in total received airplane rides thanks to several pilots who participated--there were 7 airplanes being used that day. Paul announced that there were still 13 applications for Young Eagle flights to be given rides as soon as possible.
Our thanks to Scott Richmond who ramrodded the event to the benefit of the Big Brothers/Sisters of Grand Rapids program.
President Johnston announced that several of our group participated in a Fly-out to the Double JJ Ranch a few days ago.
EAA Calendars are now available at $7.50 each when purchased in quantities of25. There was a discussion of photographing some of our own airplanes and creating our own calendar as we had a couple of times before. If this were to be done the pictures would have to be taken soon. Paul Meinke has agreed to work with this.
Meeting adjourned 8:30 p.m.
