President's Message:

It has been two months since out last regular meeting, time to get
out and talk flying again. This third Thursday of the month, January
16th, come to our meeting at the usual location: the Bend Builders
Assist hanger, 63030 Powell Butte Road, on the south west corner of
KBDN, at 6pm. Bring your own dinner, and we’ll eat right away before
food get cold. As always, many thanks go out to Mike Robertson, and Mike
Wissing, for letting us use their space.

Strange weather for January, nothing but clear and dry in the long
range forecast. Sometimes colder, sometimes less cold. Might be a good
day for a Fly-out this Saturday?

November/December Fly-outs:

Out of an abundance of caution, and an eye to the holiday calendar,
the November Fly-out was to Jake’s Diner. The local weather was nice,
but long distance flying would have been iffy. Four pilots showed up
for a good breakfast and even better fellowship. In a change from times
past we had our choice of tables and no lines. Not good times for
restaurants.

As planned, there was no December CO-OPA meeting, but we did
“Fly-out” to Dogs & Fries. Food was good, and holiday cheer was
everywhere. We also had a good view off the new KBDN control tower going
up.
