EAA 145 meeting in April 2024: 70 Years of Flying Fun

When: Saturday, April 13 at 10:00 a.m.

Bob Aardema will be talking about his 70 + years in aviation at our April 13 meeting. Bob first flew in 1952 out of Holland Park. In 1970 he joined the USAF, getting his wings and after pilot training was assigned to KC-135s. He has since done extensive corporate flying, joined the Aviation College at Western Michigan, and flew A-10 Warthogs for the Battle Creek National Guard. He is excited to share his experiences with us.

Bob will be talking about his many years of FLYIN FUN. He is a Chapter 221 member in Kalamazoo and also is familiar with the various restorations of aircraft at the Air Zoo. Through his help we hope to hold our May meeting at the Air Zoo’s Restoration Center.

Where:

Riverview Airport (08C)
805 Taylor St
Jenison, MI, 49428

Ongoing: VMC Club

VMC Club meets the third Tuesday of every month at 7:00 p.m. in the lobby of Riverview airport (08C). 

The VMC Club offers monthly meetings in which pilots can network and share knowledge and experience. The meetings use real-world scenarios to engage members, and allow a free exchange of information that improves awareness and skills. The intent is to create a community of pilots willing to share information, provide recognition, foster communications, promote safety, and build proficiency.

All EAA members are automatically eligible to take part in VMC (and their instrument counterparts, IMC Club) programs in their local chapters.
