| PRESIDENT'S
CORNER... from Jim Ridgway |
|
Here we are coming to the end of
another year. The holidays are fast approaching. Our Christmas
party will be December 10th at 7:00 PM at our hangar this
year. Everyone is to bring a dish with food in it, not just a
dish. We will be providing the meat.
This will be a joint function with the
pilots association this year. Seeing how we both have most of
the same people.
We have two board positions that are or will be
vacant at the end of this year. Ballots will be sent with the
newsletter and we will need them returned by the 20th of
November. We encourage everyone to vote. We are trying to
honor those men and women who fought to give us this right and
unfortunately we take it for granted to often. So I am
encouraging everyone who receives a ballot to vote and return
it to us.
We are changing the dues to $40.00 a year instead
of the two-tier system we had.
We have HAS shirts available at the hangar for
those of you who might want to purchase one. We need ideas for
fund raising projects. The group has had a red ink year so
far. We cannot keep doing this. We will probably revamp our PX
system and try and do more air shows next year, but we need
people to actively participate. We will have further
information in the future on this.
Hope everyone has enjoyable holidays and we would
like to see you at the hangar or at the Christmas party.

| HELLCAT
AND PILOT LOST IN TEXAS |
|
We got the news last month that the pilot and F6F Hellcat
were lost in an accident on the way to an airshow in Texas.
This is the same plane and pilot who were in our airshow in
August. The plane was from the museum in Chino, California. We
regret to inform you of this unfortunate crash. He was
experiencing engine trouble and was trying to find a clearing
on the interstate highway when he hit a power line and went
down in flames.
Two cats side by
side- left the F6F Hellcat and right the F4F Wildcat at our
Wings of Victory airshow. These birds were two of the most
famous of WWII.
