NOTES FROM THE “HEAD SHED”

 

 

 

the CHRISTMAS PARTY

 

     We’ve had a GREAT year and its time to celebrate . . . the party is at Danny O’Keefe’s home this year and should be a good one!  Note you calendars for the evening of Saturday, December 8th and come join in the fun starting at 6:30 that evening.   

 

     Of note – the party will constitute our monthly meeting and include the election of officers for the next term.  Our nominating committee has recommended the following names, but as always, you will have the opportunity to vote on others that may be nominated from the floor.

 

        Wing Leader        - Eric Hollingsworth

       *Executive Officer  - George Steube

        Operations Officer – Jim Barbee

       *Finance Officer    - Pete Vozzo

        Adjutant           - Greg Freeman

 

* These are one-year terms in order to backfill

   positions vacated by those leaving.

Stinson 10A

 

 

     The final quote is in on the engine and Lil’ Red Aero has offered us a price that is acceptable to the Staff.  The engine will be overhauled to “0” SMOH and carry a one year warranty.  We expect the engine to be returned to us by the end of January.  We will now finalize a time-table to have the Stinson flying by the first air show in 2008; which should be either Tyndall AFB (March 29) or Slidell (April 5).
