December Flyout

Barry Halsted was planning to get everyone out and about for a flyout to Arlington earlier this month, but Santa and his elves had other plans. So the trip to Arlington is postponed until January.

Elisa Petersen went back through some of our past photos using a special tool that Microsoft has, with a ‘Santa detector’ filter.

It looks like Santa has been tagging along on some of our past flyouts for a couple of months now.

We received a message from Santa thanking our EAA Chapter 430 members for giving he and his elves a free lift, saving the reindeer from using their energy. He’s been doing his own pre-holiday travelling with our team the whole time. Given the price of aviation fuel, who could blame the guy?!

Santa was super excited to hear all about the EAA member projects in 2023. He’s glad to know that we are having an impact on the aviation community.

He told us that most of our group is on his ‘nice’ list. He wouldn’t say whose been ‘naughty’ – because there’s still time to course correct. Maybe there is still time to give Santa a ride for those last minute gifts….
