May Membership Gathering Recap

Once again, we grouped and aligned our chairs at Sequim Valley Airport and settled in to another of our pleasant summertime chapter membership gatherings.

As usual, we had some highlights - including Dave Gardner reporting on his successful off-airport landing, when the engine in his 1948 Stinson 108-3 suddenly decided to call it a day.

Our guest speaker, Rob Wells - attending his first-ever EAA Chapter meeting - shared details about how the Recreational Aviation Foundation (RAF) works to protect irreplaceable airfields all around the country.

Some results of these ongoing efforts have paid dividends locally at Olympic Field Airport (WA45), in the hills next to Discovery Bay. This private airfield is currently slated to be our June fly-out destination. More on that elsewhere in this newsletter.

What chapter gathering would be complete without a bite to eat? Freshly grilled burgers were the order of the day, with everybody neatly lined up, just waiting to get their hands on one.

Thanks everyone! Oh, and BTW - join us in June when Cecelia Aragon will tell us about Dancing with Gravity.
