From the Left Seat

I’m excited that the season has begun for chapter activities! (The weather can cooperate anytime). There’s a lot of things going on:

Beginning with the first orientation of our Build and Fly project. It’s been several years coming, but we hosted close to 30 people on Saturday, April 8 at the Sequim Museum. Rick Vaux, Richard Howell, Mike Niewiarowicz , Tracy Halsted and Joan Miller organized and demonstrated the build process. They’ve scheduled 10 students to build the LT 40 aircraft. There is now a waiting list for the next build.

The light aircraft breakfast is coming together for April 22 at Sequim Valley Airport at 8 AM. We will need some help setting up on the 21st. And if you can come out, you can get some more of that delicious breakfast casserole!

Then in May, we go back to back on the 20th and the 21st with Flying Start on Saturday and the Young Eagle rally on the 21st- both in Port Angeles. We will need pilots for both events, so I hope you can help with at least one of them. Thanks to David Woodcock and Cecilia Aragon for facilitating the Flying Start session.

After May, there will be Young Eagle events in June and July, and a poker run in the fall. I haven’t heard where the April fly out is going to be, yet I hope you’re having fun with airplanes. We have a lot of great people helping the chapter. If you’re not one of them, we have a place for you!
