Some of you are aware that we were attempting to do some Young Eagle flights  tomorrow morning. That fell through since the organization we were working with had a change of heart, so it will be business as usual for the EAA 650 Saturday morning hangar flying session at the club house.  For those of you who were weren't aware Jerry received his Wright Brothers Master Pilot award given by the FAA for pilots who have flown for over 50 years of accident/incident free flying.  This was a surprise ceremony following Jerry's presentation on flying in Vietnam complete with training aids! Jerry also prepard a breakfast casserole as well as a birthday cake with ice cream since it was just a few days past his birthday. Here is a press release I sent out to the local papers.

Gold Morning to Everyone As most of you know we have moved the wings for our Taylorcraft from the clubhouse to the hangar to prepare the wings, along with the fuselage, to be painted. The move was pretty easy as you can see from the photo. The problem is that as the wings were being sanded and prepared for paint we found many areas that needed to be patched and discovered that the nav light wiring was never connected in the wing. The wing was rewired and the patches are complete and the fuselage has been sanded, the new seat installed and the engine cowlings are installed and look great. We are on schedule for paint in August at the aircraft paint shop.   Another surprise was the price of paint and the associated materials that go along with painting a fabric airplane. Unfortunately we do not have enough in our account to cover the cost of buying paint and paying the painter so I am again asking for a donation from the Chapter members to help us complete the re...
