President's Message:

Per the usual, our monthly CO-OPA meeting is this Third Thursday, August
15th, 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.

This month's Fly-out forecast looks almost like last months.  KBND
expects a high of 84F, clear skies, and WNW winds at 5 to 10 mph.  And
the weather looks good all over.  Where should we go this Fly-out?

Also be sure to attend the annual OPA Convention on September
14th at Aurora State Airport (UAO).  They always put on
a fun and informative event.  More information on here:

Airshow season is upon us.  The Airshow of the Cascades will be Friday
night, and Saturday, 23-24 August, at Madras Municipal Airport (S33).
This year features a drone show, Bud Granley in his Harvard, Mark
Peterson in his L39, plus cars, motorcycles, music by Precious Byrd and
much more!  More information here: https://www.cascadeairshow.com

The Oregon International Airshow is moving to McMinnville Airport (MMV)
on the 21st to the 23rd of September.  Their featured performers this
year are the Royal Airforce Red Arrows.  More information on their web

Both are looking for volunteers and encouraging pilots to fly-in.

Rusty Pilot Seminar:

If you feel grounded, but are ready to get back in the air, Leading Edge
Aviation is hosting a Rusty Pilot Seminar on Saturday August 17th from
9am to noon.  Here is no information about it on their web site, so call
them for details.

July Fly-Out:

Another Fly-out day with great weather.  Three planes headed out early
(by my standards) to Mulino for their airport day.  The local EAA
chapter provided pancakes with fresh local blueberries.  Yum.  Plus
cars, planes, military vehicles and much more.  The Mulino Airport has
improved nicely since the state took it over.
