President's Corner 

Hello All,

We had a good time at our April meeting at Trey and Brandi’s Hangar last month despite the windy weather that kept anyone from flying in. Thanks again to Trey and Brandi. Trey asked me to mention he has some butyrate dope and thinner he would like to give to anyone needing it for their project. His Email is treyhayden3@gmail.com.

The May meeting will be on the 21^st at noon in Jim and Betty Austin’s hangar on the Northwest Regional Airport. Please Bring your usual pot luck lunch items for all to enjoy.

This month’s Member Project C-180A, N9763B Belongs to Chuck and Stephen Smith. Thanks for sending the story and photos.

To our members, please send me pictures and stories about your airplane, or project, for the next member project article in upcoming issues.

Just a reminder if you are coming to the May meeting to bring an aviation themed T shirt for Laurie’s quilt project which we will be raffling off at the October fly in.
