WOW!!  What a Mothers Day celebration we had. We had a great turnout (over 75 attendees), and the pancakes weren’t too bad either. A special thanks for all the ladies that showed up.  If you missed it, we also had the FAA present Dan Berry with the Wright Brothers Master Pilot Award (see picture above).

June is a very busy month for our chapter.  To start with, we had planned and then had to cancel/postpone our fly out camping trip to Glendo, Wyoming. Due to the welcomed rain we have had, the City of Glendo advised not to use the runway because of wet, muddy conditions. We have rescheduled for September 6 & 7 back at Glendo for their annual fly in. Plenty of time to plan for it. More to come. 

We have decided NOT to have our normal monthly gathering, which would have been this Saturday, June 14. In lieu of, we are hosting our 2nd annual Fly on Saturday June 21. There has been a lot of work put into this event. Even if you haven’t volunteered, please come and show support for our chapter. We will have displays, booths, and several silent auction items.  If you want to display your aircraft, let me know asap.

The last City Council meeting ended pretty positively.  There were several airport people that spoke during the “Public to be heard” section.  All the speakers had very positive and articulate messages about our airport.  Afterwards, Mayor Peck spoke for the council stating, that there is no intention to close the airport, and that the Council and the City are looking at updating the Master Plan and developing the airport. They are still looking at landing fees, but some council members think Vance Brand residents should be exempt.  More to come.

See you all June 21, 8-noon at the Fly In.
