Editor’s Note

EAA Chapter 1 (Flabob) in Jurupa Valley, California has a video on Facebook, describing their chapter. Here are a few of the main points:

What do we represent? Colorful characters, memorable machines, unforgettable feats.

Who are we? A chapter of action; more than aviators; we are builders, doers, dreamers; we are friends and family; we are kind and caring.

What do we do? Have fun, work hard, feed each other, help each and support each other; we show up, step up and volunteer; we mentor, inspire, teach, learn, give back and pay it forward; we gather, engage, share what we appreciate, love and enjoy, reserve our past, participate, innovate and celebrate.

Wait a minute! I thought we were talking about Chapter 1! I think we’re talking about us, Chapter 430.

If you suggest to someone they might want to join our chapter, tell them who we are, what we are, and what we do. Airplanes keep us together and the people keep us coming back.

Again, I want to thank our chapter for your support the past few years, by reading the newsletter and allowing me to write your bios. It’s been a privilege to be your editor.
