Website: http://co-opa.com July 2014, Vol. 7, Issue 14 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). Calendar: 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 Check out current and past CO-OPA newsletters, view our membership list and view hot aviation links on our website at: co-opa.com To access the members only areas the username is “BDN” and the password is “123.0” 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. Newsletter Inputs: Send your newsletter tidbits to: <gem@rellim.com>
