A Big Thank You: While I was on vacation. Our field was vandalized again. Tuesday (June 23) late afternoon the gate was destroyed by a stolen truck which they rammed through the gate and then dumped at the back of our field. Sherriff is investigating this incident.
Then to make matters worse, someone came through the now damaged gate sometime early Thursday and tore up the runway fabric again. Badly!
That was temporarily secured Friday morning until formal repairs could be made to prevent further damage by the wind.
As of 12:30 pm Monday June 29th Runway has been repaired and field now open for use again. NOTE: repair roofing cement may still be sticky/tacky for a day or two though. Use caution. The Club and myself extend a heartfelt “thank you” to the members who dropped everything and came out to the field Monday to make repairs to the torn runway fabric and make the field flyable again. I won't list them here but we and they know who they are.

Urgent Need: It was noted that the club needs a new Secretary/treasurer for 2027. Floyd has served beyond the allowed number of years and cannot/will not serve again in 2027. We need someone to step forward now and work with Floyd to learn what needs to be done for the position for next year. Floyd has served the club very well and now deserves his time away. Please step forward to serve your club. This club needs you now!

On this Memorial Day, we pause to honor and remember the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country. Their courage and dedication are forever etched in our hearts. All gave some; but many gave it all. Remember them this Memorial Day. Today and always, we remember the heroes who gave their all for our freedom. Gone, but never forgotten. The Freedom they gave it all for must always be preserved at any cost.

If you meet a service man or woman, shake their hands and be sure to thank them.

FAA Aircraft Registraion Requirement

UPDATE (5/3/2026): NOTICE TO ALL: With our latest Airspace Authorization (AA) from the FAA The club has been tasked to collect, record, and maintain for FAA review all pilots FAA aircraft registration numbers. I have included below the paragraph from their AA which dictates this. Failure to have these on hand if FAA asked for it could result in loss of our flying AA from the FAA. This is a formal request for you to send your FAA Aircraft Registration number and expiration date to me for recording. This must be done as soon as possible. If you do not have one you may get it at this web site in a matter of less than 15 minutes. “https://faadronezone-access.faa.gov/#/” DO NOT use any other site for registration, they are scammers. Click the close on the big orange pop up it does not apply to recreational flyers. Then click the “Create Account” button and create your account and get an FAA Registration number. It does cost, but is required for continued flying at our field. I will be creating the database that FAA requires and then our Secretary/Treasurer will maintain it. And before you ask I have already contacted AMA about this new requirement and was told Yes we must do it to maintain our AA with the FAA.

From the AA paragraph:
"The Responsible Person listed on this AA must maintain a current list of pilots by name and the aircraft registration number(s) associated with the AA holder’s operation. This list must be presented for inspection upon request from the Administrator or an authorized representative.”

Today is “Good Friday”, Sunday is EASTER! Easter is a time of renewal, filled with all the promises of spring’s arrival, the joy of Easter egg hunts for the children and the fun of the Easter bunny. It also has a deeper religious significance for many. It’s a season that celebrates both new beginnings and cherished traditions. I want to wish all of you and your and families a wonderful day filled with love, sunshine, and lots of chocolate Easter eggs! I hope you have an eggs-tra special Easter!, and may your Easter be filled with love, laughter, and moments that make your heart smile! May the miracle of Easter bring you perfect peace and happiness during the coming year.
