Flying Report - August 23

Coastal overcast, expensive gasoline, respite following Oshkosh, whatever the reason, attendance at Saturday’s EAA Chapter 14, fly in luncheon at Brown Field was sparse. It couldn’t have been the “sloppy Joe’s” served up by Dennis Cullum and Bob Osborn. Several took advantage of the ample supply and came back for seconds. Some 25 diners made for a short chow line to tackle the sloppy Joe’s, mixed vegetables, nachos, Cole slaw, tropical fruit, and ice cream served for lunch.

Joe Pribilo flew his Luscombe in from Gillespie and commented that he and Genny would be leaving for Maine this coming week in the Bonanza. There is an airfield in the far NE corner of Maine and landing there would complete his flying to the 4 corners of the US and landing in 49 states, only Hawaii is missing from his log. Sounds like excellent grist for a book Joe. At least a serial write up for our Newsletter.

Ryan broke the KR1 out for some fresh air and pattern flying. The RV3 and Sonex stirred the dust on the ramp a bit. Gene Hubbard rolled a Nieuport 11 out for leveling and prep for rigging with Richard Kalling assisting. Probably lots of additional activities with the Cessna 140 and Bob Johnson’s Aeronca Champ but someone had to stir the sloppy Joe’s. Next Saturday is potluck so please remember to “bring food”!

Keep 'em flyin' BobO

Lot's of things are going on at Chapter 14; several aircraft are under construction at the chapter facilities, we are continuing to fly Young Eagles each month (2nd Saturday), and we still serve the best $3 lunch in town--  every Saturday at 11:30 in Hangar 1.  I understand there's also lots of activity on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
