The world of flight offers fun, freedom and experiences unlike anything else in the world. And all are invited to participate as Chapter 972 of the Experimental Aircraft Association hosts an International Learn To Fly Day event at Gladewater Municipal Airport in Gladewater, Texas, on Saturday, May 21. That International Learn to Fly Day was created to invite people interested in the worl of flight to discover more by meeting local aviators and discovering the initial steps toward “living the dream” of personal flight. Nearly 600,000 people from all walds of life in the U.S. are licensed pilots, but millions more have dreamed of joining that group.

During the EAA Chapter 972 International Learn To Fly Day event, which is free of charge, guests will discover more about how learning to fly is not as time-consuming or expensive as you might think. Pilots, flight instructors and aircraft owners will be available to discuss the possibilities and enjoyment available in aviation.

The May 21 event in Gladewater will be held at the airport terminal at Gladewater Municipal Airport, Hiway 271 South. It is scheduled to take place at 10:00 AM . EAA embodies the spirit of aviation through the world’s most engaged community of aviation enthusiasts. EAA’s 160,000 members and 1,000 local chapters enjoy the fun and camaraderie of sharing their passion for flying, building and restoring recreational aircraft.

Greetings Everyone !
Let me say right up front….I did not take any campaign contributions nor spend any of my personal funds to get (railroaded) elected as your new President for the next term.(Did he say two years??)

Garnet (and Melinda) have set the bar high along with help from Ken, Harold, Steve, Bill, Robert, and Bart. Sue and I realized quickly that we will have to wear many hats. Stop and think about it. We will have to fly, organize, cook, eat, make decisions, fly, clean, plan, build, fly, eat and be present and responsive at any function we have..

Usually, I do not make New Year Resolutions until after Super Bowl Sunday. This way, I do not break as many within the first week of the New Year…… A few things I have been thinking about: I think we should resolve to add new members and make sure we keep our present members involved. We have a great resource available to us. The talents of our members. I am sure we have a vast array of talent represented by our members. If you or your spouse have experience in certain areas, let us know. Whether it be flying, fabric work, welding, construction, painting, music, photography, cooking, speaking…whatever; let us hear from you.

I also would like to move along on the con-struction of a pavilion at 07F. I think we will all agree, a covered meeting place would benefit us and our guests. We may even need to look at a project. ( Maybe an electric plane..Ha) Of course we will continue the much debated Young Eagles Program. I think Sue is also going to start a “Telephone Committee” to call our member who do not have computers and i-phones, about upcoming events or needs.(Believe me, she knows how to talk on the phone). She will be calling on some of you for help.. Well, that covers some of the stuff I have on my mind (you cannot publish some of my thoughts..thank goodness) Just a little trivia: My first plane I bought was in 1983. It was a 1946 Luscombe. All metal with a rebuilt engine and new glass. I paid $3500. for it. Flew it around West Texas and loved it. After about a year, I sold it for $4500 and moved “up” to a Cub…

Thanx, Arnold, Sue and Abby
