WING-TIPS
Due to various demands on everyone, the JULY Wing-Tips will
be kept
Very short and simple.
PRESIDENT’S CORNER JULY, 2006
June saw a great deal
of positive movement towards a satisfactory resolution of the Rules and
Regulation
issue that has lingered for the past several months. The Committee working on this has created a
new draft,
which can be reviewed by logging onto www.vgtlasvegas.com. Remember this is a draft only and is very
much a work in progress.
Comments can still be made by contacting Cecil Johnson by email at: cecilj@mccarran.com.
Cecil will be the
Chapter’s guest speaker at our next meeting scheduled for August 9th
at VGT.
Please remember that the July meeting has been cancelled.
If you have any
topics you wish to have Cecil address at the August meeting please forward them
to me
before the end of this month in order for me to give him time to
do whatever research he may need to
respond effectively. I am
hoping to have him discuss the overall planning for General Aviation Airports
in the
Valley for the
next five to ten years. Another issue I am hopeful of discussing is
the state of the leasing
arrangements for those hangar owners who as of this writing are in limbo
without leases.

Those of you who wish
to participate in the next Young Eagle event in conjunction with the Scout
Program
as pilots need to contact Mike Smith at: mwsmith2@cox.net . We have scheduled the Annual Chapter Picnic
to coincide with the Air Explorer Post / Young Eagle Flights
on Saturday September 30th.
The picnic starts at
11:30 when the coals should be hot and appetites up to handling the burgers
etc.
Contact Jim Bonelli
at: bonelli.j@cox.net or Charlie Braun
at: cbraunlv@cox.net for information on
the Scout Program.
Our work with
Discover Aviation continues to be relatively on track for next year’s date of
April 21, 2007.
The ground and air
events have been flushed out and now basically await confirmation of
participants.
The Chapter continues
to take the lead in the overall development of this program although as I
mentioned
previously it is hoped that some of the previous participants would
eventually add their individual assistance
to make it a success.
Dave Edwards
continues to work on the FSDO issue of First Flights from VGT with some
movement on the
part of FAA
Washington HQ.
Until next month,
safe flying and regards,
David Lerner
President 2006
