NOTES FROM THE “HEAD SHED”
Summer has not skipped Mississippi. The months of July and August
are historically the hottest of the year with the humidity hovering just
short of “sauna”. That is where we find ourselves today! But,
there is still work on the planes which MUST be accomplished, so we NEED
you to make it out this weekend (even if for only an hour or two) and help
us out.
This month’s meeting will be at the Hangar on July 17. Lunch will be
served promptly at noon. Once again, please be prepared to stay with us
and help out with the planes for a little while afterwards.
We’ll look for you to be there.
Keep ‘em flying!!

Guess what . . . the engine turns over when the starter
is engaged! COL Scott Lynn has the completed instrument panel installed
and electrical system checked out.

MS Wing scheduled to participate
It’s time for our C-45 to go to Midland. This
trip will be a three-month tour for the aircraft to be displayed to the public
at the museum. This makes for an excellent opportunity for anyone who
wants to visit the CAF museum to fly out on the Beech and return by way of
Southwest Airlines. If interested, contact COL Jim Barbee or COL Dan
Fabian.
