EAA Chapter 1541’s Second Saturday gathering is set for Saturday, May 9, and will feature our BBQ Lunch followed by a program that covers Air Operations Over Wildfires, presented by CalFire Air Operations BC David Krussow from the Grass Valley Air Attack Base. Topics to be covered include how CalFire operates over wildfires, what a Fire Traffic Area is, and TFRs around fires. Fire season is upon us, and this is good information for pilots flying in our area. Come out for our gathering…some good food, some hangar flying, and some good information for pilots flying this summer.
We’ll be offering our BBQ Lunch beginning at 11:00 a.m., and our Air Operations Over Wildfires 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…we can accommodate a limited number of aircraft parking around our hangar but we usually can make it work. Email the chapter for more details.
