Second Saturday Gathering: April 11 at 11:00 am

Our Second Saturday Gathering is set for Saturday morning at 11:00 am. We are looking forward to a special presentation on an important subject for all aviators: Upset Prevention and Recovery Training. Loss of control continues to be the leading cause of general aviation fatal accidents. To prevent loss of control accidents, pilots need to understand the causes and contributing factors that lead to loss of control. Don Bradley and Dustin Jones are coming from Foothill Flight Center at Cameron Park to provide some basic information about loss of control and the Upset Prevention and Recovery Training course they offer to help avoid such situations. It should be an informative hour for pilots and everybody who wants a bit more insight on flying near the edge of the performance envelope.

We’ll be offering our BBQ Lunch beginning at 11:00 a.m., and our Upset Prevention and Recovery Training presentation at 12:00 noon. Lunch will be burgers and fixings created by our excellent cooking team. $10 per person or $25 for families…and Gold Members eat for free! (For more information about Gold Memberships…ask at the check-in table on Saturday) If you plan to eat lunch, get in line early…we expect to close the grill at 11:45…so eat early and often.

Our free flight simulators will be up and running for young and old alike. Experience a bit of literal hangar flying. You can also pay your 2026 chapter dues and maybe buy a T-Shirt!

Driving in: follow the “EAA” signs on Flightline Drive at the Lincoln Airport (KLHM) to the EAA hangar, Hangar S-12. You’ll enter the fourth gate to the hangar area…please respect other users and don’t park in front of hangar doors or more than two deep alongside hangars to allow taxiway use. For fly-ins…park at transient parking in the middle of the airport and expect a 10-minute walk to the EAA hangar in the northern hangar area on the airport. Email the chapter for more details.
