The Lincoln Regional Aviation Association (LRAA) is forming a Disaster Airlift Response Team (DART) at Lincoln Regional Airport. The LRAA is proud to join the growing network of CalPilots and EAA Chapters across the state of California who are forming DART operations as a prime mission of their organizations.

The LRAA will be hosting a DART Safety and awareness meeting Saturday March 25, 10:30, at the Lincoln Airport. The focus of the meeting is to introduce DART, its mission, and general operating guidelines. Everyone is invited to participate. This will be a great opportunity to learn about DART, and enjoy a complimentary lunch!

They invite our participation, and look forward to seeing us there

Wednesday is the last day to buy tickets for the Christmas Party. Email or call Bruce Estes (650 504-4464).

Our party will be combined with the Auburn Chapter 526 party, which is also at Cattlemens Restaurant on that day.

It will be a more fun event and a chance to meet some of the Auburn members, or say “hi” to those you know, since a number of our members are also members of 526.

So, please wear your 1541 member badge so that our Auburn friends will more easily know who is with 1541 vs 526.

The last Board of Directors meeting of the year takes place on Wednesday December 7th. As usual, it will be at Pizza Roundup, 2270 Nicolaus Rd., Lincoln… dinner at 18:00, meeting at 18:30. All members are invited.
