September Fly-in
Plans in the Works
Planning and preparation is already underway for the September 4th Fly-in. The theme for this event is “A Salute to All Veterans on the 60th Anniversary of the End of World War II.” Weather is expected to be great and a fun time is expected. It is anticipated that several different organizations will be involved in setting up displays to honor our veterans. We are hoping that Missionary Maintenance will again bring up their Super Chipmunk and continue giving rides to those so inclined. Any member who knows a veteran interested in attending is asked to bring them along.
Taylorcraft Fly-in to be Held
The annual Taylorcraft reunion at Barber field will be underway the weekend of July 10-11. Members from our chapter are urged to attend. Showing our support for other groups will generate goodwill toward our events.
Beach City Fly-in
Beach City’s annual event took place on Father’s Day weekend. The weather was perfect and it is reported that all in attendance had a great time.
Glasair Project update
Randy Maley has arranged for a chapter project to be donated to the Chapter. Through the Donate-a-Plane program, we are going to be the fortunate recipients of a Glastar Super 2+ kit. Attempts to make the trip to South Carolina to pick up the kit so far have not come to pass. Two weekends ago, John Haines and Glenn Davis were making preparations to go but the plans fell through and they were unable to make the journey. Once the project makes it to Ohio, Don Zimmerman has graciously offered his garage ,which is adjacent to the airport, for a place to put the aircraft together.
Pilot Shack the Place to Be
Saturday mornings seem to be the time to catch many of the members of Chapter 1077 at the airport. Local pilots have been meeting on an informal basis in the Pilot Shack located at the end of the T-hangars on the East High Ave side of the Airport at around 10:00 AM. Lots of late breaking news items seem to come out of these ad-hoc meetings. Come join us if you have the time.
