There’s a need for volunteers to handle/control the two gates that vendors, show cars, and attendees pass through. For this volunteer component we’re asking our people to work only one two hour shift, in return for free entry to the event and $5 towards lunch. Virtually all stations will not require standing (chairs and tables will be provided).
If you can help, please email Richard.
For the Lincoln Airfest, on Sat, June 11, we have about 27 folks on our volunteer list. We need about 12 more folks.
This is a 1 day event and we’re planning on having 2 shifts on the ramp, 08:00 to 12:00, and 12:00 to 16:00.
Plus, we need a number of relief folks who can fill in for an hour or so, or take over a ramp position.
The ramp will be roped off into 3 sections.
Each of these sections will have a section leader and a crew that will handle aircraft moving in their sections.
There will be an ‘Air Boss’ directing landing aircraft to one of the taxiways and sections.
The ‘Ground Boss’ will be operating on a ground frequency and will direct aircraft to the appropriate section.
The organizers are expecting 80 display aircraft, airshow aircraft, and some military jets. This is a big event, and much more complicated to run than the Trimotor event that we held last year.
We’re also going to need golf carts, so if you have one that you can lend us, let us know.
If you can help, please email Jim.
If anyone is looking for an adventure, you’re welcome to join Andy. If you’ve never done an international flight before, this is a great opportunity to learn something new and experience flying in Canada.
He’ll be back in Lincoln tomorrow afternoon and plans to depart Tuesday morning. Yes, this is short notice, but the front seater can’t make the trip.
If you’re interested call, text (907-371-0556) or email Andy.

We’ve been asked to assemble another ramp crew as we did such a great job with the Trimotor. We need people for the Lincoln Airfest, June 11. Good news – as part of the ramp crew, you save the $10 admission fee.
This is a 1 day event and we only need a crew of at least 12 pilot types, plus a number of relief guys, to marshal aircraft onto and out of the ramp area. The entire length of the ramp will be used to park aircraft.
If you can only work for a few hours, you would be valuable as a relief person.
There will be display aircraft, war-birds, helicopters and aircraft in and out for the airshow.
We will have an FAA approved ground frequency, so we’ll need a number of handheld radios to communicate with pilots and other ‘rampies’, when the incoming aircraft are told to change frequency from the CTAF to the ground frequency.
Remember that EAA Chapter 1541 is doing the early morning pancake breakfast, so you may not be able to do both of these activities.
The pancake breakfast begins at 07:00 and the aircraft and cars begin arriving at 08:00. Opening ceremonies are scheduled for 10:00 and formation fly-overs will begin at 11:00. The event closes at 15:00.
Join all your Lincoln EAA friends and pilots for another fun-filled meeting in our new hangar (S12) – you can’t miss it, now that Ken and helpers put up the large, red, ‘EAA’ sign letters on the building!
On Wednesday April 20th, our General Membership meeting will feature Dick Rupe and Ken Schwartz’s RV6 build. The plane will be on display in front of the EAA hangar. This will really be special because the plane will be covers-off for inspection of mechanical electrical and avionic installations. The plane is at the 90% done with 90% to go stage, so it’s a perfect time for a Q&A. As usual, the meeting will feature a barbecue.
