George Harden is assisting several Boy Scouts to get their Aviation merit badge. The Boy Scouts need to fly in an airplane for a short flight, similar to a Young Eagles flight. George has 17 kids signed up, and needs one additional pilot with an airplane. The date is July 8th, and we will meet at the gazebo at 09:00.

We should easily be done flying by 10:00. The kids will all be wearing masks.

Let Bruce Estes know if you’re able to help out.

Our online chapter meeting will begin at 7 p.m. this coming Wednesday 6/17. The theme of this month’s meeting is “Celebrating the Achievements of our Chapter’s Student Members”

EAA chapter 1541’s student members have been productively engaged during the unusual times we are all experiencing.

Amy Whelan will lead off our June online program with a presentation on her Ray Scholarship flight training and private pilot practical test experience.

The second feature of our monthly program will be chapter 1541’s youthful “Sim Team” – Anthony Moreno, and Hannah and Kevin Treehan. They completed the FlightSim One simulator pod and its computerized contents in mid-March, just as the chapter had to pause its face to face meetings. The team is now busily at work and will give an update report on FlightSim Two, a full motion flight simulator that is a true research and development project.

Our program will also include a brief video from EAA national that talks about plans for an online Aviation Week that will replace AirVenture Oshkosh, and a Homebuilder Hint on how to fix loose headset jacks.

This Webex teleconference will begin at 19:00 on Wednesday, June 17.

The LRAA were going to get together again for Display Day on June 20th, this has been cancelled.

Our monthly IMC club meeting will be from 19:00 to 20:00 this coming Wednesday, June 3rd. The special topic this month will be led by CFII Scott Thompson, and review a 2015 flight from the Bay Area over the central valley by a non-instrument-rated pilot who encountered worse than forecast weather. ATC tried to help by offering an IFR clearance, which the pilot accepted, but could not fly.

This month, instead of our two step registration process involving the FAA Wings website, we will be sending out an all-hands invitation for this Webex online meeting on Wednesday morning, the day of the meeting. That invitation message will have a button in it to click to join the teleconference. All are invited to participate.

It’s with a heavy heart that we heard that Dennis lost his long fight on Sunday. He had been ill for a long time, and had his Fairchild displayed when the Ford Trimotor was at Lincoln – that was the last time he went to the airport.

There will be a Celebration of Life on June 27th.

Later this week http://www.lincolnfuneralchapel.com will have updated information on the services.
