Elections:
Election of all officers is required this month – discussed
positions and needs. All
existing officers were reelected for another two-year term. The
group agreed to create a new one-year
position
for Event
coordinator; Ron
accepted nomination and is duly appointed.
Fly-in
results: 14 flights but also had 6 from PIA that couldn't get
flights because of age restrictions on Young Eagles. Doug was
coordinating to get them Eagle flights / ride with an instructor. We
didn't get good flight coordination and some
pilots
didn't get lunch but the
drop-in pilots were
life savers
for theYE
flights.
Thank you all!
We
discussed several lessons learned from this year's fly-in and
discussed options to create a better experience for next year.
Ron
will sit-down with the new airport
organization
to deliver a
formal plan for the fly-in next year. The
plan
for a May 20th
fly-in next
year. Ideally
we want to
get back into the big hanger for
our event.
The
fall fly-in was voted to be held the last Saturday in October, 2017.
It
was suggested that we might try to do Young Eagle flights on a
quarterly basis.
Ron
revived the idea of getting together for a RC aircraft demo and
gathering. needs some better planning.
