President’s Corner

I hope that you had a fun safe Independence Day, celebrating 250 years of our freedoms and liberties. Did anyone do a flight to view the fireworks?  If so, please share photos and experience at our gathering.

Thanks to all of you that helped our 3rd annual Pancake Breakfast Fly In be so successful. We had a great turnout, had some positive press in the newspaper, and made some money for for our Youth Scholarship fund. On Saturday, July 11, I will give a report on the Fly In. Also the 2 young ladies we sent to camp in Oshkosh will also share their experience with us. Our scholarship committee is also in the process of selecting our next scholarship recipient, and Ray Aviation scholarship recipient.

We want to thank the three major sponsors for our Fly In. PostNet, for donating all our printing, flyers, cards, and signs. Dr. Christine Stone, AME, Longmont Aerospace Medicine.  Oliver Financial Management. Please show support for these businesses. Their support really helped us.

There is a new service on the airport. It’s a Bike Share program. There are 2 bikes, 2 helmets, an air pump and locks available for people who fly in and want to ride the trail into town. They are in a storage box next to the fuel pump. The lock code is 1200 and the bike locks are 1200 also. It’s a free service. Please share this information with folks flying in.

This month our presentation will be by Darrel Dilly. He is a DPE based in Greely. He will be speaking on what he sees lacking in flight training and BFR’s. This month, because of the heat, we will be serving pancakes and sausage starting at 8:30 am, and the program will promptly begin at 10:00 am. We will be gathering at Tom’s hangar, 14C.
