Winter
seems to be relentless this year. Wants to hang on forever. I
know I am ready for warm weather like everyone else. For those
who may have not heard Royce Woolever passed away in January.
He will certainly be missed. Him and his brother were two of
the hardest working individuals we have ever seen. The stories
of their experiences in Europe during the war will long be
remembered. Our deepest condolences to his family and to
Ralph, who we hope, will have more tales of their time in the
war for many years to come.
Our
Texas Hold-Em Poker tournament was a success. We have had one
other group use our hangar for the same thing and others
interested in having an event there. We handle the concessions
for these other tournaments. We have one tentatively scheduled
for May 20th & 21st. Which from Jim Ridgway brings up that
we can always use more help at these events. Wish to thank
those who have helped in the past. If you would be interested
in helping let us know.
March
21st at 7:00 PM the FAA will have a safety seminar in our
hangar with the topic being Sport Pilot Final Rule.
May
is the first event we usually take the PX to, and that is at
the Morain Air Park near Dayton for the fly in. June 11th is
the open house and the fly-n-flea market.
The
jeep ambulance project was coming along pretty good until we
found the fuel pump was bad. You don't go to your local auto
parts store and get a fuel pump for a military vehicle. We
found a place that carries parts for our jeep and have ordered
an overhaul kit. Hopefully by the time you read this it will
be running. It does run if you keep pouring gas into the
carburetor. The C-45 is making some progress in getting the
sheet metal back together. It won't be the prettiest airplane,
but it will look like one. Part o the reason for that was the
condition it was in.
The
Wednesday crew is working on a new stand for the R-1820 radial
engine we have. Wish to thank the many people who do come in
and help with the many different projects or things we have
going on when they can. We need more. One person doesn't make
an organization function and grow. It takes a group effort. We
have new people getting involved and are appreciative of this.
We
try to make everyone feel welcome and try to listen to what
people suggest. Hope to see you soon if you haven't been there
in a while and those who frequent more regularly, we are
always glad to see you.
Jim
Ridgway
President
