Chapter Breakfast Meeting 8:30 am Saturday 4 September at DeWitt-Spain
 

We have a lot of things going at Chapter 182. The TriMotor arrives at West Memphis on Sept 7th or 8th and gives the media and sponsor rides Thursday morning. The revenue rides begin Thursday afternoon at 2:00PM and continue through Sunday. We need 8 volunteers per day to staff the event, 4 in the morning from 8:00AM until noon, and 4 in the afternooon. We will be helping sell tickets and loading and off loading passengers. The work is not difficult and we can get rides for volunteers as empty seats are available. Cooperation from the West Memphis Airport and EAA staff has been fantastic. The event is posted everywhere I can find a place. There will be ads and articles in local papers including the Commercial Appeal, and we are working onTV coverage. I will have posters to pass out at the meeting. Plan to come out and help.

Andrew Sego is working with a Scout troop on a Young Eagles event to be held in conjunction with the October meeting at M01.  We will need as many planes as possible there. 

Last, but not least, we are hosting the B17 at Olive Branch November 5th, 6th & 7th. If anyone knows of veteran B17 crew members, please get their information to me.

As I already said, we have a lot going on in our Chapter.

See you at the meeting. Saturday AM breakfast as usual.

Fly safe,

Dwight
