Website: http://co-opa.com September 2014, Vol. 9, Issue 14 President's Message: Uh, oh. Some trees are starting to turn fall colors and I just added December to our calendar (below). This weekend is forecast to be clear and in the low 80's. So it may be our last taste of summer 2014. Come help us plan the fly-out by meeting at 6pm in the KBDN Flight Services Building. Stick around for the potluck at 6:30pm and the short formal meeting at 7pm. Also be sure to mark your calendar for the OPA Annual Meeting next October 18th. No need to miss the Airshow of the Cascades for it this year. The OPA has been working all summer to put on a good program for us at the Lane College campus on the Eugene airport (EUG). And yes, there is a way to park your airplane on EUG without paying the $20 facility fee at Atlantic Aviation.

Attendance was up a whopping 40% over the previous year. Certainly part of this was due to the grand opening of the Erickson Aircraft Collection during the show. Their museum is already overflowing with cool airplanes and they flew several of them for the airshow. Be sure to save the date for 2015: August 28 and 29. August Fly-out (Cont): Many thanks to Tom Brown and Ed Endsley for these airshow pictures. Newsletter Inputs: Send your newsletter tidbits to:
