Are we going as a group on the 27th?
Discussion was whether to drive down individually or as a group. The suggestion to meet as a group at AXV and car pool down and those from the south would meet the group at the event. The time decided was 7:45 to arrive at AXV with an 8:00 AM departure arriving at the museum by 9:15 where everyone going would meet at that time.
The museum event will be mailed to all on the email list. Look for the forwarded email to follow the minutes
Bob Sachs asked if there was a membership list. Officially none exists beyond what is published on the web page under the members tab. There is a lot of information at http://eaa922.blogspot.com and sometimes we don't always have it maintained up to date unless someone discovers an error and reports it..
WACO had the WACO homecoming. They were able to acquire the needed land to established the airfield and add an additional building. Steve from Louisvilel was there to give rides at $90 per flight with a portion to the museum. There was a plane from New Hampshire who hadn't been home since Oshkosh. Lots of people and photo ops. Robin Williams from Traverse City, Michigan had one of the early YMF-2's in attendance.
Gene took a B-17 ride but the ceiling was so low is was like a crop dusting ride. He got to meet a pilot who flew seven missions over Germany and got shot down on his eighth spending the rest of the war in a POW camp.
Total cost for the cookout at Gene's was mentioned as meat/buns 160.00, pork-n-beans/etc 120.00 total in it 280.00. Contributions were appreciated and accepted.
Neil shared his trip to Alaska.
Mike raised the question of having an airshow. Richard mentioned a chili fly-in.
Neil moved and Gene seconded to adjourn at 2:58 PM
It was mentioned before the meeting and after as well that Paul Tebbe is in room St Rita's rehabilitating after suffering a stroke following surgery earlier this summer. He is on the 7th floor room 68. He wants to sell his Hyperbipe if anyone knows someone looking for a fun agile aerobatic aircraft.
