Head on out to the Leading Edge Jet Center at KBDN and join us. Festivities begin at 6pm. Eat lovely food from our delicious potluck at 6:30pm, and finish up with a presentation at 7pm. This month Becky Fildes from Sunrise Valley Ranch will be our guest. She want to tall us all about their lodge, their dining, and of course their airport 29OR. The Saturday weather looks nice, maybe the place for our next fly-out? Calendar: 21 June – Monthly Meeting 23 June – Monthly Fly-out 19 July – Monthly Meeting 21 July – Monthly Fly-out 23 Aug – Monthly Meeting 25 Aug – Airshow of the Cascades May Fly-Out: Usually pilot’s say: Time To Spare, Go By Air. But sometimes you just gotta get there. That was the case for our May Fly-Out. The weather in Bend was 8,000 broken. The weather over the valley was overcast bases 2,000, tops 4,000. Kim Muinch flew over, and did an ILS approach to Salem. He then got a ride with OPA President Neil White to our Fly-Put destination in Oregon City. Others did the long drive from Bend and many other places in the northwest. Mission accomplished. Probably a hundred pilots, and another hundred people, were at Mary Rosenblum’s ceremony. She had a nice sendoff by her large circle of friends. Newsletter Inputs: Send your newsletter tidbits to:
