NOTES FROM THE “HEAD SHED”

 

     The annual Wing Christmas Party will be held at the new home of COL Hazel Dunnam on the evening of December 11, at 6:30 pm.  This will take the place of our regular Saturday meeting and will include election of a new Wing Leader, X.O., and Finance Officer.  If you have an interest in filling a position, please call the president of our nominating committee, COL Pete Vozzo.

 

     As for the party, directions are included later in this newsletter.  Bring a covered dish of your choice, your own bottle of refreshment, and we’ll look for you to be there.

 

     Keep ‘em flying         - COL Bob Bates

 

 

 

 


 

 

     The Sertoma Airshow in Lafayette over Halloween weekend was a great success for the wing.  The Wing’s C-45 as well as COL Jimmie Rogers’ L-5 made the trip down and back without a hitch.  Those who attended report that the hospitality was unsurpassed.  There were parties both Friday and Saturday night with the sponsors and participants.  It was a shame the Beech went with empty seats and we encourage you to look NOW at next year’s schedule and start to make plans for attending a few of the announced shows with us.

 

 

    

 

The very next weekend, our Open House was an equal success with the day’s attendance at over 1500 people!  It made for a great way to end the airshow season and go into the Holidays.
