Chapter Chatter

Here we are in April. Normally this would be the time we are setting out an active flying agenda, event planning and preparing for a busy summer Instead, we are talking to friends from a distance of 6 feet, and being very careful with whom we come in contact.

As such, we have cancelled our April VMC, Board Meeting and Gathering. The Governor’s Stay-At-Home order extents, at this time, until May 4, 2020. As we

approach this date, we will revise our calendar and see which events will still be doable.

On a brighter side, we can still fly our airplanes, keeping in mind social distancing. Unless you fly like a Blue Angle, a six-foot distance will not be hard to do. Unfortunately, airport restaurants are closed so pack a picnic lunch and enjoy a wing top for a table. (Applicable only to low wing airplanes.)

The Pave the Way to the Future web site is up and open for any brick order you would like to make. This program is the major fundraising opportunity for our scholarship program. If we are to help young people with the passion to fly, we will need funds. It is also are intent to help those individuals who wish to pursue a career as an A&P. Please consider a memorial brick for our patio while helping the next generation. All donations to this program are tax deductible via our 501c3 status.

EAA Chapter 430 will resume a normal active schedule as soon as we possibly can and again enjoy the fellowship our chapter is known for. In the meantime, take time to smell the flowers, go for a walk and stay safe.

Until we can meet face to face, be well, clear skies and tailwinds.
