President's Message:

Come share your heat misery stories at out July meeting. This July
20th. the usual Third Thursday of the month, Join us at the Bend
Builders Assist hanger, 63030 Powell Butte Road, on the south west
corner of KBDN, at 6pm. Bring your own dinner, and we’ll eat right
away before food get cold. As always, many thanks go out to Mike
Robertson, and Mike Wissing, for letting us use their space.

John Foster reports he just passed Rock Springs (DA 9,600) headed for
Oshkosh.

Airshow of the Cascades:

Bad News: the Sport Class Air Races are off. $40,000 for insurance
was a bit too much. Good News: the Golden Nights are back on, plus an
F-15 Fly-by!

FAAST Team:

Our own Jay Bunning is now on the FAAST Team. Jay reminded me that
a art 91 pilot need not carry current charts on board a flight. But he
better have a real good excuse if he makes a mistake that a current
chart could have prevented!

June Fly-out:

Jjohn Foster and Ken Fayal report: We had 3 planes/4 pilots from
Bend, fly to Cottage Grove on Sat. June 22. ( Ken Fayal in his Cherokee,
Fred Berrardo in his Grumman, and myself in my Beech Sierra) Kim Joined
me for the trip. As we arrived, we were surprised by Mike Rhodes who
flew in to join is from Independence!

Clear weather both directions – except it got a little bumpy flying
back into town. It was hot, they had only one food truck (captive
audience) but it was a good day for a flight.

The comment period for the 2nd draft of the new Proposed Rules and
