We are happy to announce that the EAA Chapter 1541 Holiday Party is set for Wednesday, December 12, at Cattlemens in Roseville. We will start the evening at 18:00.

Tickets are $40 per person. This will get you hangar flying, entertainment, other stuff, plus a dinner meal with the following choices:

• Prime Rib 12 oz
• Rustler Rib Eye Steak
• Grilled Atlantic Salmon
• Lemon Herb Chicken
• Porcini Mushroom Ravioli

All meals come with “The Fixings“: Baked Potato, Seasonal Vegetable, All-you-can-eat-salad, Ranch-style beans, Sourdough Bread, coffee and tea

A no-host bar will be set up in the room also.

We are planning a silent auction as a fundraiser for our Richard and Susan Bristow Memorial Scholarship Program. This chapter program is funding sponsorships of young people to the EAA Air Academy at Oshkosh, Wisconsin, plus providing other scholarship and sponsorship opportunities.

We are still in the planning stages but we expect to also have a raffle and door prizes. Entertainment is being planned by our expert board of entertainment planners.

Tickets are on sale now from any chapter board member. A board member can be easily identified as any person walking around with Holiday Party tickets in their hands offering them for sale.

Tickets will be available for purchase at any EAA 1541 event. We will accept cash (American), checks made out to EAA Chapter 1541, or Debit/Credit cards. You do not have to make a menu selection until your arrival at the Holiday Party.

This may well be the social event of 2018 so don’t wait…buy your tickets early and often. We will sell out when we get to a secret number that we are not telling anyone.

We’re going to be cooking breakfast at the LRAA display day again, on Saturday, October 20th. We’re hoping to get people to come out to the airport to see the displayed aircraft (and, hopefully, vintage cars), so bring your friends, bring your neighbours, bring your family!

Mark your calendars – the Holiday Party is booked for December 12th at Cattlemens Restaurant, 2000 Taylor Road, Roseville.

We had planned on having two pilots who fly the Boeing 747 Global SuperTanker come and speak to us this coming Saturday for our BBQ Lunch and a Program event.

Unfortunately for us, but probably not so much for the State of California, the two pilots and the 747 tanker have been released, probably for the season, by CalFire and the pilots have headed home. Thus, no Boeing 747 Global SuperTanker program.

As a fill in, Scott will present a program on flying the Lear 60. Not quite so impressive, but it should be of some interest to to those who might not have had the opportunity to fly a nice high-performance corporate jet. So come on out anyways…the food will be good and the hangar flying uplifting.

On Saturday 13th, we’ll be having a barbecue lunch from 11:00 – 12:00.

At 12:00 we will have a program presented two pilots who fly the Boeing 747 air tanker for Global Super Tankers. The giant air tanker is currently based at McClellan for use against northern California wild fires. It is capable of carrying nearly 20,000 of fire retardant or water per load. Join pilots Tom Parsons and Marcos Valdez as they present on their very specialized airplane and mission.

Just a note: because of the nature of their mission, there is the chance that this presentation will be postponed if they are off fighting fires instead of eating BBQ lunches.

Saturday is the 2018 WUFI Worldwide Ultralight & Open Air Fly-In – an internet fly-in all over the world.

You can go here and register to get a certificate. They’re also looking for photos of attendees, so think of this while you’re at the Young Eagles Rally at Lincoln!
