President Todd Bills called the meeting to order at 2:00 PM.
No Meeting notes from September, officers were all out of state.
Old Business:
Mike reports on the Reno air-races: Jet man was there but had one of his 4 engines have trouble so no show from him. Enjoyed some air show activities and remodeled Hellcat ran into a Jeep chopped up the hood. Had a good time.
Boy Scout Jamboree - had a good turn out, had a lot of planes and people flying. Gave 180 kids rides. Total success for the scouts. Gave demonstrations of avionics and blew wind over wings for demonstrations. Had a T-6 lit up for a night air show with fireworks.
New Business:
Dayton Tower tour-Todd gave an education of the working of an elevator (both ways). Met Michael Jackson, he was very knowledgeable and gave us a tour of the equipment rooms. Met "Crystal the pistol" and had a foggy view of the airport from the tower.
Todd and Richard took a trip to Muncie. Todd got ready for his Arizona trip and flew to Sporty's.
Ann reports a man from Oklahoma called asking about a Cub. It was a man who bought Walt's Cub (N24WV) and they were going to have it repainted. He offered up a before and after picture of the paint job. He emailed pictures and she found they named the Cub "Uncle Walt". Brought the pictures to share.
Ken is hoping to have his project painted in a couple of weeks and reported, he'll run out of nice weather before he does paint.
Dick doesn't want to talk about the Champ. Had a larger hole on the rudder hinge than he expected. Needed some additional bushings and now finds the hole is too small for the part. So….hmm
Mike and Tina emailed Jake about Sidney's Young Eagles the weather was not good in the morning and neither of them ended up going.
Tina flew to Marion with radio/mic issues, borrowed a handheld from a nice person (Thanks Dick) and had first experience with gliders.
Mike flew to Urbana and saw all kinds of airplanes out and about. He has 96 (now 99) landings in the WACO - Mike if Tina would have done the math prior to the Waco ride she may have requested one more landing in order to be part of the 100th landing.
No treasurer report: Gene sent notice he was not able to make it.
Mike offered up rides in the WACO and Todd took the first and came back with a excitement and and extra bounce in his step. Ann went next and showed Todd to make a graceful entrance into the beast. Finally Tina was given a ride and found great fun in the lazy 8's Mike demonstrated.
Todd adjoined the meeting at 2:40 PM on motion by Mike and Neil second.
