Topic for this meeting:  We’re preparing for our Young Eagles rally on October 11^th at the Commemorative Air Force’s facility at the Burnet Municipal Airport. We will be talking about the roles our volunteers will be playing at the rally in which we offer free flights to youngsters between the ages of 8 and 17 to inspire interest in aviation. Therefore, it is especially important that all who have volunteered to work this event attend

The Highland Lakes Squadron (HLS) of the Commemorative Air Force (CAF), located at the Burnet Airport, will have a Pancake Breakfast and Open Hangar day on Saturday, October 11th, from 8:00 am to 11:00 am. Museum entry will be free of charge. Come have breakfast with a WWII airplane. Donations appreciated.  All money goes to restore the 80 year old WWII aircraft. The HLS will also play host to EAA Chapter 1623’s - Young Eagles event. EAA Young Eagles offers free airplane rides for kids, and parents. Pre-register for rides at:  www.YEday.org.  For more rides information call: (512) 426-7972.

    As always, everyone is welcome to our chapter meetins –    

    Although EAA stands for the Experimental Aircraft Association,  

    it covers ALL aspects of aviation, not just experimental aircraft. 

   Therefore, please invite anyone you know who has expressed

   an interest in aviation to attend our meetings.  They need not be  

   members to attend, and we want to expand our membership.

We look forward to seeing you there!

Note regarding parking:  When you come in to the airport you will be on an active taxiway, so be sure to yield to any aircraft.  If this is the case, pull off the taxiway next to a hangar if need be and be sure your vehicle is between the yellow line painted on the pavement and the hangar itself.  This provides clearance for the wing of the taxiing aircraft.

Also, use caution when entering the airport gate from county road 414 – traffic coming from the east does not stop!
