Boy is it hot. And for those of us that flew to Oshkosh, we had to deal with heat, smoke and storms. Some made it there. Some didn't. Flying in the smoke is very difficult, because it masks the clouds and storms. If it wasn't for NexRad radar, you could easily fly into a storm. This year seemed to be more of a challenge. Glad to get there, and glad to get home.
In July, the scholarship committee selected two young men to receive scholarships. Tyler Pickrell is the recipient of our Aviation scholarship to be used toward his flight training, and is attending Metro State University in Denver. Malachi Post, is the recipient of our Ray Aviation Scholarship. He is a student at the St Vrain Innovation Center, aviation program. Please take some time to get to know these fine young men.
This Saturday August 8th, we will be having our annual picnic. We will kick things off at 12:00 noon. This will be held at the south end of building 15, my hangar. We will have horseshoes and cornhole for entertainment. The chapter will supply chicken, burgers, buns, condiments and drinks. Please bring a small side or dessert, and cooler weather!
Saturday August 15 we will be hosting a Young Eagles Rally. That will be held at Elite and start at 8:00am. We have 21 Young Eagles signed up. Contact Mike Duggan, 720-304-6793, to volunteer. We always need ground help.
Stay cool. Be cool
