EAA284 Chapter Meeting May 8 2022

The next chapter meeting will be on Sunday, May 8th at 2:30 pm. If the weather is favorable we will meet at the hanger. I know that in May, we usually meet on the 3rd Sunday so that members can enjoy Mother’s Day with family. I hope this change does not inconvenience anyone too severely.

With our Learn to Fly Day coming on the 21st, I think that the extra week will be needed. We have several banners to put up and discuss the logistics of the day. I have contacted several other organizations for participation. There is interest but no firm commitments. I have registered the event with EAA as a Learn to Fly and Young Eagles event and obtained the necessary insurance coverage. I also have also obtained EAA material relative to both events.

The weather is expected to be on the cool side so we will meet in the office building.

Local news: Dr. Bernard Berks, D.O., age 88, Senior AME died on June 4, 2021. Burial was on  Monday June 7, 2021 at Beth Abraham Commentary. Dr. Berks was well known in the Southwest Ohio aviation community. His family practice was in Germantown OH. His AME practice was in Batavia, OH. 

I have updated information on the midair collision that occurred near Denver (Centennial Airport, KAPA) on may 12. The preliminary NTSB report is quite interesting and there are lessons to be learned. 

We should have some discussion about chapter member attendance at AIrVenture (Oshkosh) this year. 

See you on Sunday at Red Stewart.
