On Saturday, November 9th, we will be having our Second Saturday Pancake Breakfast from 8:00 to 10:00 a.m. at the EAA hangar, S-12 at the Lincoln Regional Airport. If you are not familiar with the airport, navigate to Flight Line Drive and follow the “EAA” signs. All are welcome.

We’ll be cooking pancakes, eggs, and other good stuff from 8:00 am to 9:30 am when the grill shuts down, so come early. Breakfast is $10.00 per person, $5.00 per youth under 17, or $25.00 per family. We’ll also happily renew your chapter dues for the coming year. Cost is $30 for individuals or families. We’ll have our flight simulators up and running and attended to help you or your kids take flight.

At 9:30 we will have a presentation that features general aviation’s contributions to 21^st century climate science.

Our presenter will be chapter member Jack Allison who flies a turbo-equipped Mooney loaded with computers and sensors to do systematic air sampling. He is a research pilot for Scientific Aviation, which does a unique type of aerial survey that quantifies emissions at land fills, oil & gas facilities, pipelines, dairies, etc., and collects air samples for agencies such as the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the California Air Resources Board.

Jack’s presentation will be entitled “Flying a Mooney from 200 AGL to FL250 for science”

Don’t miss this educational session on what it takes to be a professional scientific research pilot.

This presentation will be followed at 10:30 by a Build and Fly RC model building session.

Hope to see you there!
