The MAAG met today at Stearman Field in Benton, Kansas for our monthly gathering.  We had strong southerly winds, but they also brought nice afternoon temperatures in the low 60's.  Not bad for January!  Several aviators braved the winds and flew into the event.  We had 8 airplanes and about 40 people in attendance.

After a great lunch at the Stearman Cafe, we held a short business meeting.  Highlights include a decision to donate $500 to the national AAA for the Airpower Museum.  We also agreed to meeting locations through April.

The next meeting will be February 12 at 1:00 PM at the Kansas Aviation Museum in Wichita.  Walt House, museum curator, is planning a chili feed in their new restoration building.  The February meeting will also be when we elect officers for 2012.  Dues are still only $15 and can be paid at the next meeting.  See you there and bring a friend!

Here are some shots from today's fun!
