Presidents Corner March 2007:
We had a great Young Eagles turnout at Discover Aviation
April 21st at Jean. Hope you
had the good fortune to attend.
As usual, the Discover Aviation committee hosted another fun
event with an airshow, static displays, and lots for everyone to do.
Our pilots flew 107 Young eagles in Chamber of Commerce
perfect weather. Many thanks to Mike Smith and his crew for the
safe and fun flying, and to Jim
Bonelli and team for the smooth running of the administrative duties. Once again, Charlie Braun
and his squad made sure everything
stayed safe and organized on the ramp, and as usual, Gail Smith kept our
bellies full with
excellent vittles. I still think
Mike Perger’s Jag beat the Pitts, but it was close in
any event. Thanks again to all.
Our April 10th meeting included a visit to the
Staggerwing project. Dave, Mike, Jim and
Larry gave us a status update on the
project along with some very
interesting Staggerwing history. Though
they have a long ways to go, it’s easy to see that the beauty
in this aircraft is more than skin
deep. Anyone want to sand some
bulkheads?
We’ve planned a spring picnic for our May 9th
meeting at Jim Bonelli and Glen Carlson’s new Hangar (#E-2) at Henderson.
Jim will provide the details in our next newsletter.
See you there,
Terry Frazier
