President's Message:

Per the usual, our monthly CO-OPA meeting is this Third Thursday,
July 18th, at 6pm.  Still in the Bend Builder’s Assist, thanks to
Mike Robertson allowing us to use his space.  The street address is
63030 Powell Butte Hwy (on the south west corner of the airport).  Bring
something tasty top share at our 6:30pm potluck.  Then we will finish up
a short informal meeting a 7pm.

Another very nice Fly-out forecast.  Bend Airport expects a high of
84F, clear skies, and north winds 10 to 15 mph.  Mulino and the OPA are
having their annual Blueberry Pancake Breakfast at 4S9 on Saturday and
Sunday.  The 4S9 forecast is similar to that of KBDN, just a bit milder.
Maybe a nice Fly-out destination for us?

In other news, beware, it is construction season.  New taxiways are
going in at Madras (S33).  Crack sealing and electrical outages at Bend
Airport (KBDN).  So be sure to check the NOTAMS and keep you head on a
swivel.  A pilot from up north taxied into a construction cone as S33
and lost part of his prop...

June Fly-Out:

Finally!  The weather gods favored us with mostly blue skies and fair
winds for our Fly-out to Grant County (John Day) Airport KGCD.  Three
planes, with six people headed out, and in spite of a thrown generator
belt, they all came back.
