“There I Was, At AirVenture 2021” will be the theme of this month’s online chapter meeting on Wednesday, August 18th. We are going to hear the experiences of a number of our chapter members who made the trek to Oshkosh this year. The program will start with those who were there for the first time, and continue with those who have been there multiple times and were able to see where AirVenture was different this year, as well as what didn’t change.

Our monthly online meeting will begin with our Hangar Chat time at 6:40 pm on Wednesday, July 21. The main meeting begins at 7:00 pm. You can join this Zoom meeting by clicking here that evening. The link to join the meeting will also be sent out to the chapter mailing list the morning of the event.
