Welcome to EAA Chapter 430
Serving the Clallam County Flying Community since 1972
Greetings….

We are dedicated to having fun with aircraft.
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).

FLYING START PROGRAM
We had nine people attend our first Flying Start program on May 28, 2022 at CLM conference room. Dave Woodcock presented a very entertaining PowerPoint with comments from others in the room. Cecilia Aragon gave a great discussion concerning her personal experience, and flight instruction and aerobatic flight. Dave discussed multiple types of personal aviation, and the afternoon ended with a aircraft review on the ramp. The weather did not provide for an Eagle flight, which will be scheduled for the future

Thank you to Madeline Patterson for building an EAA 430 sign and Rick and Jim Bess for the EAA 430 chair build. The sign and chair traveled 1400+ miles by truck to be at OSK.
