It was an overcast sky today with scattered ceilings at 1000 ft and occasional rain. Despite this, approximately 55 folks showed up at Jim and Barb Wiebe's to enjoy a lunch of lasagna and other treats. Phil Ciholas was the lone eagle to brave the weather, finding a break long enough to fly into the High Point airport. His beautiful 1946 Cessna 140 is pictured on the left, looking very much at home on the well trimmed grass.
The pictures center and right show the 1938 Howard DGA-11 Jim Wiebe is in the process of restoring. We enjoyed checking out the progress.
The new name tags provided by Hardy Aviation arrived, so now we can know who everyone is. Special thanks to Randy Hardy for this donation. Please remember to wear your name tag to future MAAG activities. We also had some new members join today; Hugh and Merry Beckham and Mark and Kathy Wood. Welcome!
The next MAAG meeting will be at Halstead on June 19 as we celebrate Gus Wiebe's anniversary of his 65th birthday (just what number we are not sure). There is also a fly-in at Stearman Field in Benton that same day. In addition, don't forget the fly-in at Rucker Field on Memorial Day previously posted. Lastly, the local EAA chapter (88) will be holding their annual fly-in and banquet at the Newton airport (EWK) on July 3.
