A Message From Our Chapter President, John Gill (May '06)

Members,
I hear a lot of people saying, Thank God it’s Friday and I keep wondering how Friday got here so quickly.

Spring is here and some good flying weather comes with it,. Get out and enjoy, but plan ahead for your flying trips because spring also brings rain, fog, and possible thunder storms.
I made a couple of trips lately that have involved clear weather on part of the flight and storms along the way, so be prepared to divert or delay for a while. The plan is to be safe and have a good trip.

At this coming meeting, let’s discuss what the members would like in the way of programs for the meetings and what activities you are interested in.

Plan on being there Monday night.

Your president,
John
