I just received our new Gold Chapter recognition banner for 2024. Because of the volunteer effort of many chapter members, 1445 once again attained "Gold Chapter" recognition from EAA. The recognition is for the previous year. You should be proud of your chapter's achievement because only 2 other Arizona chapters are "Gold" chapters.

Thank you to Jim Garner for his ADS-B/avionics presentation at our last chapter meeting. Check out Jerry Latimer's video with the meeting highlights. Click here to view the video.

We will not have a chapter meeting in July. We will resume the regular 3rd Saturday of the month meetings in August.

The Mogollon Airpark chapter will be hosting their annual pancake breakfast on Saturday July 12, 2025 starting at 06:30. This is a great excuse to fly to the high country for breakfast. I plan to attend and hope to see you there.

Mogollon Airpark is a private airport but for this event prior permission is not required. Please do a self briefing before departure. Click here for important airport information.

The new chapter T-shirts are available at a special price of $15. We also have hats and prop banners on sale. After AirVanture we will resume normal T-shirt pricing at $20. Email Gary DeHoff dehoffaz@gmail.com to buy any of the items.

If you are planning to attend AirVenture please let me know by signing up. Click here for the sign up form. We will plan to take the chapter picture at the "Brown Arch" at noon on Wednesday. I hope a lot of chapter members can make it.

If you just haven't gotten around to paying this year's chapter dues, bring $20 to the chapter meeting this Saturday or click here for payment options.
