CHAPTER 31 MEETING – WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 2015!

Our October meeting is this coming Wednesday! As usual, BBQ at 6 p.m. and the meeting following at 7 p.m. We don’t have a formal speaker for this meeting but we have a couple of very interesting chapter videos to watch. One features Burt Rutan and all the aircraft he has designed and built, and the other one covers John Moody and the world of ultralights. Both are very interesting.  We also have a number of things to discuss, among them is planning an appropriate celebration of life for Hal and Milo Skinner. We also need to decide how we’ll handle this year’s holiday festivities. I believe it’s our turn to host a joint Chapter 31/1457 Christmas party should we choose to go that route. It’s also not to early to begin thinking of the upcoming chapter officer elections. This may be (sadly for me) my last meeting as your president. I leave on Thursday morning, the day after our November meeting, for a month in New Zealand and Australia. Quite possibly, I will still be doing last minute things the night of the November meeting and will be unable to attend. We usually don’t have a December chapter meeting but, instead, have the Christmas party. January is when our new president, John Kuehl, will take office.

Discussions at the meeting will include the status of the RV3 restoration project (coming along well!), the Honor Plaza brick program (7 new bricks installed this week!) and the Creswell AWOS currently being installed. I’ll give you an update on recent Airport Commission happenings and the confusion and anger over the recent changes to the Salem Class D airspace. Hopefully, Ray Morse will be in attendance to give us the latest on the successful completion and sign-off of his beautiful AcroDuster Too biplane which happened last month.

President Gary
