Note: the video recording of the March 8 Airport users meeting is now available on the chapter’s Event Videos page.

Saturday, March 8, 9:00 am to 11:00 am

(pancake breakfast at 8:00 am)

Presented by Representatives from the City of Lincoln

Hosted by EAA Chapter 1541

Come to EAA Hangar S-12

Any and All Airport Users Welcome

EAA Chapter 1541 is hosting representatives from the City of Lincoln, our airport operator, for an Airport Users Meeting on Saturday, March 8. This will be our chapter’s Second Saturday Gathering for March, so we will start by offering a pancake breakfast at 8:00 am at the chapter hangar. The Users Meeting will begin promptly at 9:00 am and we expect to be concluded by 11:00 am.

We hosted a very successful Airport Users meeting early last year, and we are happy to do so again. All airport users are encouraged and welcome to attend this opportunity to interact with the City about ongoing plans, issues, and concerns for the Lincoln Regional Airport. So, please mark your calendars and spread the word to others about this important meeting

A few points of note:

  • Due to the chicken situation…no eggs for breakfast. It will be pancakes and sausage and all the other normal stuff. Price will be just $5.00 for all comers.
  • If you want breakfast…get in line by 8:30 because the grill will be shutting down by 8:45 to allow time to prepare for the meeting. You want to eat? Best show up at 8:00 am.
  • We expect a presentation by Sean Scully, the city manager, and other city representatives, as well as an opportunity to ask questions and have an open discussion. We also may have representatives from the William Jessup aviation program and for the new hangar initiatives underway at KLHM.
  • We expect to tape the meeting and post it on YouTube (as we did the last meeting) for those who are not able to attend.

 

Spread the word…see you then.

Saturday, February 8: Muffins, Coffee, and Juice

Posted on by

Come to our EAA hangar at the Lincoln Airport on Saturday, February 8, for muffins, juice, and coffee between 8 am and 10 am. Meet and greet local pilots and aviation enthusiasts and see what is going on at our local airport.

We will also offer a short program by chapter pilot Jim Hughes about his unique wingtip modifications he is making to his Cessna 175.

EAA Chapter 1541 is the local chapter of the Experimental Aircraft Association, a national group that proudly supports all aspects of sport aviation from ultralights to warbirds. We built, fly, and talk about airplanes a lot. If that sounds interesting to you, come on out to the airport on Saturday.

Once at the airport, follow the “EAA” signs on Flightline Drive to find our dedicated hangar. We’ll have hot coffee and snacks available, plus our fun and free flight simulators will be available to all, adults and kids alike.

We’ll also have a Young Eagles Build And Fly session after the muffins are put away, from 10:00 am to 12 noon. Build and Fly is a youth activity building a radio-control mode aircraft. We are nearing completion of the project and helping hands are always welcome.
