President's Message:

Time for more flying, and less talk.  But pause for an evening of
talking with the CO-OPA in the AIR CONDITIONED Flight services building
at KBDN.  Let us meet at 6pm to swap lies about flying, enjoy our
infamous potluck at 6:30pm and have a short formal meeting at 7pm.

The Central Oregon forecast for our Saturday Fly-Out is for more hot,
and the hot has meant bumpy.  Let's put our heads together and come up
with a good plan for the weekend.  Maybe someplace early and lose like
Christmas Valley (62S).

4 July – Sisters Wings and Wheels
17 July – Monthly  Meeting
19 July – Monthly Fly-out
28 July – Prineville Airport (S39) Day

21 August – Monthly Meeting
23 August – Monthly Fly-out (S33 Airshow)

18 September – Monthly Meeting
20 September – Monthly Fly-out

18 October – Monthly Meeting
20 October – Monthly Fly-out

My Inbox:

The Prineville EAA has changed the date of their Prineville Airport Open
House to July 26th, the last Saturday in July.  They are taking over
the time slot formerly used by Sunriver Wings and Wheels.  As in years
past, there will be classic cars, helicopter rides, glider rides, and of
course cool airplanes.

Sadly the new date conflicts with Oshkosh so a lot of past attendees
will be elsewhere...

Web doings:

Dues are due!  Both for OPA and for CO-OPA.  CO-OPA dues are $10/yr, and
you can pay them to Gary Miller <gem@rellim.com>.

And yes, the membership list does not reflect 2014 payments.  Anyone
want to be treasurer?

OPA dues are $25/yr, and you can pay them online on their web site:
www.oregonpilot.org

June Fly-out:

The weather was great for our June Fly-out.  Not a bump on the way to
Salem, and back.  Unlike the current hot July weather.

Three aircraft showed up for a fine breakfast at the Flight Deck
Restaurant & Lounge: (www.flightdeckrestaurant.com/

Mike and Ann Bond flew in with 23Q, Gary Miller and Don Wilfong in 57R
and Larry Hagemeister in his Cessna.

What more can I say than good people, good food and good flying.
Prospect Fly-In

Due to a quirk in the calendar, the Prospect Search and rescue Fly-in
was not on our Fly-out weekend this year.  Attendance was poor, except
for the West Coast 120/140 Club which brought a number of planes.

Unlike last year the Search and Rescue people got to stay for dinner,
but then during desert got dispatched to fires in Washington.

In any case, good people, good food and except for the turbulence, good
flying.
