Grand Champion 2023

Next Meeting 

Our next meeting will be on the 20th of April at Trey & Brandi Hayden hangar, Fairview Airport. We will have a noon potluck lunch, so bring your normal dishes.

FLYERS: Fairview Airport (7TS0) is about three miles NE of Rhome, and four miles West of Propwash Airport. The 17/35 nice green runway is 2500 feet.

DRIVERS: From I-35W go west on 407 to the red light just over the railroad tracks in Justin. Take a left and go south to the next red light. Take a right (still 407) and go west about eight miles as you enjoy the many curves. There is a Dillavou Lane sign on the right side of the road. Take a left to the Hayden's hangar. Look for the crowd.

President's Corner 

Hello All,

Our meeting on March 23rd at Gainesville was a little different. We coincided with a group of AT6 drivers and lunch was a little confusing at first but everyone seemed to get along fine. Plenty of food was eaten and stories told.

Our next meeting will be on the 20th of April at Trey & Brandi Hayden's hangar at Fairview Airport for a Pot lunch at noon. We will have a discussion about our insurance coverage for our fly in and meetings. There are some changes to the present policy.

This year our Fall Festival of Flight will be on the 21st of September. Bruce Putney will again be the fly in chairman, thanks Bruce. We will soon start planning the event so watch for updates.

Check out the calendar of events in this issue for our meeting next month on the 18th of May at Greenville, Texas for their Barnstormer Fly in.

The 61st Fall fly in was a huge success with about eighty aircraft flying in to Gainesville, new members joining the chapter and lots of food and friends attending. We will soon begin to plan for our 62th fly in next year.  Come back to this site for more information as we work for a great 62nd “FALL FESTIVAL of FLIGHT”.
