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, September 13. This will be our chapter’s Second Saturday Gathering for September, so we will start by offering a egg burrito 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 this past March, 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 airport construction, financing, and other items. So, please mark your calendars and spread the word to others about this important meeting

A few points of note:

• 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 expect to have representatives from the hangar development company and the construction contractor.
• 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.

Coming next weekend, the City of Lincoln and the Lincoln Chamber of Commerce are hosting the annual airport Wings and Wheels event at our Lincoln Airport.

Special Chapter Second Saturday Program for April: Taigh Ramey and the TV Mini-Series Masters of the Air

Saturday, April 12, 11:00 am to 2:00 pm

For our Second Saturday gathering in April, we are hosting warbird pilot/restorer/expert Taigh Ramey for a presentation on his involvement with the well-received 2024 Apple TV+ mini-series Masters of the Air. Taigh spent six months in England as the project’s World War II and B-17 technical advisor to help bring the story about the exploits of the 100th Bomb Group and the Eighth Air Force to life. Taigh was the main guy who taught the actors how to be World War II airmen, how to operate the equipment from starting the bombers to dropping bombs, how to shoot the guns and talk on the radio. His presentation includes behind-the-scenes photos and video of the complicated and lengthy production methods used to replicate the air war over Europe during World War II.

Taigh operates a Beech 18 restoration facility at the Stockton Airport, runs the Stockton Field Aviation Museum, and just purchased an airworthy Douglas A-26 Invader. He also offers a unique Bomber Camp at Stockton every May. Taigh is a recognized expert on vintage aircraft radios, armament, radars, and other systems.

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.

Come enjoy his presentation at our EAA Hangar at the Lincoln Airport. The chapter will offer a BBQ Lunch at 11:00 am.

The grill is hot from 11:00 a.m. until 11:45 a.m. when it shuts down, so come early. BBQ Lunch is $10.00 for adults, $5.00 for youth 17 or under, and $25 for families.

A short chapter meeting will commence at 11:50, and Taigh’s program will begin at 12:00 noon. Come on out and enjoy a day at the airport.
