Flying Report - May 3

May Day, Cinco de Mayo, Red Bull racers over the bay, and EAA Chapter 14 fly in luncheon at Brown Field. Life is good! Donna Ryan and “Ryan” opened the hanger, brewed the coffee, then later hosted some 37 diners for a lunch of make your own sandwiches, potato salad, and ice cream. The morning was taken by President Larry Rothrock gathering his planning committee for a skull session to determine the change in hangar plans regarding the McCutcheon hangar for which Dan received an offer that he couldn’t refuse. The hangar will remain where located.

The Buckers arrived in formation and on schedule. Michael McLane arrived from Ramona in his Subaru powered RV8. He now has some 70 hours on it and has upgraded his PRU with the 3rd generation Eggenfellner unit. It is a quiet, smooth running engine which he noted was quite noisy until he installed two mufflers. Ryan take note! Ryan’s Mazda powered E-Racer nearly blasted us out of the hanger as he hopped rides following lunch. Sparky, exercising his KR-2, dropped by to see us. Last week was Pietenpol time, both of his Pietenpol’s having made the scene at Flabob. Vince Flynn taxied up in his 1931 Model A Ford with the rumble seat. Ahhhhh such memories.

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.
