Chapter Chatter

Greetings to all EAA 430 members and guests. Can you believe we have had our first IN-PERSON meeting since March 2020? In the last fourteen months we have managed to see one another via the marvels of modern technology AKA Zoom. While I personally love technology, it is not a replacement or substitute for the good old in-person greetings and smiles. It was so good to meet on the grass and talk about what we are working on. Then we ate pizza together. More of the same to come.

June’s meeting will have a presentation by Alan Millet on LLC and aviation. It should be very interesting. Come out for this and burgers on the Barbie.

Young Eagles Day (June 12, 2021) at Sequim Valley got our program back on track and we had a great turnout. See pictures on page 2. Our next Young Eagles rally will be in July at Port Angeles. Come out and support the pilots and ground crew and talk to the kids. They are the future.

The long-standing Paver sales program is in full swing at the steady hand of Ray Ballantyne The new design is very attractive so get your spot. (ray.ballantyne@gmail.com)

The youth Build-n-Fly program needs a lead to head up this great program. We need you to take on this project and teach the young aspiring youths about airplanes. If you have or are building a plane or own/fly one, you are qualified to help with this program. It will be very rewarding for all who participate.

Fly-outs are in full swing and Barry Halsted has a great destination planned for us in June. Packwood WA. Contact Barry. (barryhalsted@aol.com) for more information if you are not on his mailing list.

I encourage everyone to come to the June gathering and invite a friend to join you. After all, we are a friendly bunch who eat, breath and think about airplanes. We always look up when we hear one coming.

Until next time, be well and let us go flying.

Ken
