No matter how busy your schedule is, make time for our July CO-OPA meeting. As always, the Third Thursday of the Month. Head on out to the Leading Edge Jet Center at KBDN and join us in their waiitng room. Remember that their Air Conditioning works quite well. Meet and Greet at 6pm.Chow down at our potluck at 6:30pm, and finish up a short informal meeting at 7pm. The weather for our Fly-out day is looking pretty good, if a tad hot at a high of 86F. The worst of the heat will hold off until late afternoon, and the winds will be light. Maybe a good time to fly somewhere up in the mountains? Calendar: 19 July – Monthly Meeting 21 July – Monthly Fly-out 4 Aug – Prineville Fly-in 23 Aug – Monthly Meeting 24 Aug – Airshow of the Cascades Night Show 25 Aug – Airshow of the Cascades Day Show 25 Aug – OPA Convention Albany 20 September – Monthly Meeting 22 September – Monthly Fly-out June Fly-Out: Once again, our June Fly-out also included a Fly-in to Sheri’s South in Bend. After a hearty breakfast, one plane flew out to Sunrise Valley Ranch(29OR) for lunch. It is amazing that just 40 nm East of Bend there is empty open range land, and a nice 2,200 foot grass strip next to a lodge. Prinveville Airport Open House: The Prineville Annual Fly-In & Car Show will be on August 4th. There will be aircraft displays, Crook County Rodder's classic cars, discovery flights, hamburger and hotdog lunch and much more! The folks at S39 always put on a great event, plan to attend. In Memorium: I’m sad to report that Thomas Lee Phy, President of the local EAA Chapter 1345, passed away this July 14th. He had been battling cancer for about six months.
