Southern Nevada EAA Chapter 1300
3500 Executive Terminal Drive
Suite 285
Henderson, NV 89052

Dedicated to Preserving Sport Aviation, Fostering Aviation Education, Promoting Aviation Safety, Encouraging Young Eagles Flights, and Experimental Aircraft Building in Southern Nevada.

Chapter Meetings

Chapter meetings are usually held at 7:00 p.m. on the second Wednesday of every month. They are held in the downstairs conference room at the Henderson Executive Airport terminal building. Meetings are open to the public!

Fall Barbecue

Wednesday, September 13, at 5:00pm will be our Fall Barbecue for EAA1300.

It will be held at Carlton Bailey's Hanger, G4, at Henderson Airport. For those without a gate pass, call 702-521-1840 or 702-496-8314 at Gate 15 for entrance. G4 is in the South Hanger group, one row west of the hangers closest to the runway.

I am aware that may be a little early for some that work, but I doubt that most of the crowd will be assembled until 5:30 or later so don't worry about being late. This is a social event so please bring your significant other.

Bring whatever meat you wish to grill and a dish to share at the event. We will have a grill available to cook on. The Chapter will provide drinks, plates, plastic silverware along with ketchup mustard and relish. If you will need a good steak knife please bring one.

Spring Barbecue

On May 10 we will be having our Spring Barbecue at Claudio Ponte’s house who has so graciously volunteered to host us at his house. He lives at
511 Serenity Point Drive, Henderson, NV.
This is not the same house that we went to last year, but it is just up the hill a little further. Please RSVP for this event because Claudio will have to put your name on the list for the guard at the gate. If there is any chance you will attend, please RSVP to me so you your name is on the list Claudio has to send to the gate. The Chapter will provide Hamburgers, Brats with the buns and all the fixings, Potato Salad Chips and probably Ice Cream for dessert. We will also provide the drinks plates and plastic silverware. Just bring yourself and enjoy the fellowship of your friends in the Chapter

I could still use a few ground volunteers for the Young Eagles rally on May 20 at the Henderson Airport between 8:00am and about 2:00pm.

If you have not paid your dues yet, please go to www.EAA1300.org and get them paid for 2023!

Below is a list of those that got Service Awards for 2022.
  • Robert Jones President
  • Carlton Bailey Vice Pesident
  • Robert Bernard Secretary
  • Ralph Millard Treasurer
  • Terry Frazier Young Eagles Coordinator
  • Robert Jones Young Eagles Coordinator
  • Ralph Millard Young Eagles Coordinator
  • Ralph Millard Eagle Flight Leader
  • Robert Jones News Letter Editor
  • Randall Holland Web Editor
  • Carlton Bailey Technical Counselor
  • Robert Jones Technical Counselor
  • Carlton Bailey Flight Advisor
  • Robert Jones Flight Advisor

For those of you who are less familiar with the Technical Counselor and Flight Advisor positions, EAA National Headquarters has to approve these positions based on their resume. Doubtless there are others in our chapter who could qualify as Technical Counselor or Flight Advisor, but we needed to have someone listed so that new members would have someone listed to call for help. Most of us that have built an aircraft and flown it could qualify as a technical counselor. Pilots that have got an aircraft inspected and flown off a homebuilt would usually have the knowledge to get a pilot headed in the right direction. Anyone who is interested in doing these jobs please let Robert Jones know and he will put you on the list.

We are also looking for volunteers for a Nominating Committee for next year's officers. Their job will be to find volunteers for every position. Those currently serving are acceptable candidates if they are willing to serve.

Lastly, we have confirmed that we will be having a Young Eagles Rally at Overton on October 7, 2023 and another rally at Pahrump on October 14, 2023. We are also planning on having a spring rally at Henderson in May and will discuss dates at the January meeting.

Our chapter secretary Robert Bernard will be doing the program as outlined below. Robert has taught classes on this subject and we would like him to share some information that will be useful to the membership.

Come learn about trusts, estate planning, and asset protection from our very own EAA Chapter Secretary Robert Bernard. He has been personally using trusts for over a decade and teaches a class on the subject. Robert will talk about why trusts are so powerful, the three types of trusts you want to have, how a trust can provide asset protection and limit your liability if done correctly, and much more. He will teach the questions to ask your attorney and talk about how attorneys can steer you wrong. Robert loves this subject and is happy to share his knowledge.

We'll see you on Wednesday!

May BBQ
