Successful Young Eagles Rally in Tonopah over Memorial Day Weekend
We flew 60 kids with 7 pilots participating. Several of the kids were flown on Friday afternoon with exciting wind conditions. Saturday was a great day for flying and the local sponsors had a fund raiser serving hotdogs and hamburgers. All in all, a very enjoyable day.
Plan to ban aircraft at North Las Vegas defeated
Whether you fly light general aviation, business, or experimental aircraft, you are still welcome to fly into Nevada’s North Las Vegas Airport. State legislators made that clear May 26.

EAA AirVenture is too BIG to miss - Literally!
In less than 2 months, Oshkosh will become the aviation center of the world. The list of features and attractions for 2009 make it one of those years that you simply can't afford to miss.

N457RV Flies!
Monday 5/11 at 7AM, N457RV flew for the first time
2000' over the Henderson airport for just short of an hour. The flight was
uneventful (the best kind) and the landing was even a squeaker (if I do say
so myself). I have to say that taking off in an RV is a little different
than my previous experience. When you push the throttle in, you'd better be
ready to fly right now. No lumbering down the runway for N457RV (a.k.a.
E-TICKET). No major squawks - only a couple small oil leaks and a slightly
heavy right wing.
Too many to thank all at once, but wife Linda deserves the "Supreme
Indulgence" award for 3 1/2 years of airplane centric living (and riveting
too), and Roger Hansen for untold advice, help and bits and pieces. Also, a
big thanks to Mike Smith, my flight advisor, transition trainer, and first
flight safety chase pilot.

Members vote to anchor meetings at Henderson
Since its inception, Chapter 1300 has traditionally rotated its meetings among North Las Vegas (VGT), Boulder City (BVU), and Henderson Executive (HND).
However, attendence had noticeably declined at the other locations, and it was discovered that more than half of the members lived closer to Henderson than to any of the other airports.
This prompted a motion at the April meeting to put the matter up to a vote.
Although ballots went out to all members with a valid email address (as well as those in attendance at the May meeting), only ballots from members who were paid up for 2009 were counted.
The final tally was 17-8 in favor of anchoring the meetings at HND.
It should be pointed out, however, that this does not preclude meetings from occasionally being held elsewhere, if appropriate (such as project / hangar visits at one of the other airports, etc.).
You are visitor number 31,925 since June 17, 2000.
