Congratulations Times 4!

June, 2026

EAAEAAWe have such an active group of members in our Chapter that we have many congratulations to give this month. Two go to Chapter VP, Abby Donofrio, who not only graduated from Ashland University with her degree in Marketing, but also won first place in their entrepreneurship competition, ideaLabs. Abby's proposal is for a College of Aeronautics for Ashland University, which the college is currently evaluating. Congrats, Abby!

EAAAlso, 2023 Ray Scholar Jack Pomfret, is continuing his aviation studies, by successfully passing his CFI checkride from fellow Chapter member, and Instructor, Charlie Gibbons. Congrats. Jack!

EAAThe Chapter Build and Fly group, headed by Chapter members Greg Cantrell, Ken Guthrie and Ron Lutz, has completed their build and had a successful first flight. The young people in the group: Colm Burke, Parker and Grant Zeigler, and Paulie Hancheck, and their instructors put in many hours to complete their R/C plane. Congratulations, All!

EAAAnd finally, Chapter member Chris Shearer and his crew of fellow restorers, Darryl Stimson and Jim Sweeney, completed their RV-6A restoration with a successful flight in May. As with all projects, there are still a few tweaks that need to happen, but it should be a regular in the pattern soon. Congratulations Chris, Darryl and Jim!

Dec. 2024
As we brought 2024 to a close, we finished the year on a high note as our 2024 Ray Scholar, Doug Tytko, successfully completed his Private Pilot Certificate by passing his checkride on the afternoon of December 27th despite less than ideal weather. Doug reports that the checkride went better than expected and, with the assistance of his pilot examiner, Chuck Sargent, he pushed through some rain showers to complete the required tasks. Chuck welcomed Doug to the world of certified pilots! Doug now becomes our Chapter's sixth Ray Scholar to successfully earn a Private Pilot Certificate through the EAA Ray Scholarship program and has also earned a free LightSpeed Zulu headset as well. Well done, Doug!
