Apr 14 -- Visit to Russell Williams' Projects

Wow, what a collection of airplane restoration projects. Russell Williams was kind enough to open up his hangar -- and arrange for other hangars to be open -- in order that we could see the amazing airplanes under restoration. Russell showed us a Parakeet that he is working on (wings at the moment), and a St. Louis Cardinal that is also under restoration right now.

Then there were the Ryan, the Rearwin, Dart, and other planes that he has. Not to mention the other hangars.

Thanks Russell!!!

The January meeting has been cancelled due to weather. The February meeting will be next. January's program will be presented in March.

November Meeting

Our fearless leader, Jim, sent the following mail to the group regarding our next meeting on November 15:

---

It seems that we just had a meeting a couple weeks ago, but it's that time again. Usual time and place (7:00 PM, Redmond Library).

This is kind of a show-n-tell meeting, but with a topic. Bring in your examples of your favorite electonic aviation toys to share with the group. I'm sure we'll have a variety of I-Pad apps as well as some others, so bring them along.

Secondly, it's time for the annual elections. If you're interested in running for a postion, come attend. Actually, if you don't want a position, that might be a better reason to show up! ;-)

Finally, we'll meet at 6:00 at Ooba's as usual for the pre-meeting dinner.

Hope to see everyone there!

Jim
