EAA 430 (unofficial) May 18 Flyout to Skagit
The May flyout to Skagit Landing at the Skagit Regional Airport drew 8 aircraft and 11 hungry flyers. It is important to make reservations at this restaurant and we did so, paving the way for our reception. Early morning weather produced some low clouds and fog, but nothing was left but a few scattered clouds by the time of our flights. The lunchtime temperature was 65º and skies were clear

EAA Chapter 430 (Sequim, WA) Invitational POKER RUN 2022
EAA Chapter 430 (Sequim, WA) hosted a Poker Run in July, open to EAA members. Participating pilots flew to the following five airports, each of which has a Washington Pilots Association (WPA) Passport station with passport stamps.
Barry Halsted, our fly out chair, conducted a Poker Run during the month of July. I know you all received several notifications about it, so no details here. We had 8 successful completions of the run:
-
Cecilia Aragon
-
Harry Cook
-
Tracy Halsted
-
Barry Halsted
-
Todd Taylor
-
Ernie Hansen
-
Jeanne Hansen
-
John Ward
Several participants purchased extra cards in hopes of improving their hand, and our net proceeds were $225.00!
First place winner was Cecilia Aragon! Cecilia won $45 (20% of the pot) plus a $75 gift certificate to DuPuis restaurant in Port Angeles! Cecilia’s winning hand was two pair.
Second place winner was Harry Cook, with a pair of Aces. Harry also won $45.
The eight participants were treated to the Burger Bash, so $40 of the proceeds got donated back to EAA to cover their meals. This left $95 net proceeds, which were donated to the EAA 430 Building Fund.
The poker run is a lot of fun, and I hope that next year more will participate. If you have any ideas on what would make you more likely to participate, please let Barry know (barryhalsted@aol.com).
