As the weather forecasts have become more definite, it looks like the combination of high winds, cold temperatures and heavy rain will be more than we can overcome for having a food service gathering in our EAA hangar.  So, with best wishes to stay warm and dry wherever you may be, we will not be holding our usual pancake breakfast on Saturday, December 10th.

Happy holidays from EAA 1541!

​

Join us for a ‘light breakfast’ of pancakes, sausage, OJ and coffee this Saturday December 10th from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. in the EAA hangar, S-12 at KLHM.  For the “eggless” version of our EAA breakfast the suggested donation is $5 per person or $20 for families.  Although the weather doesn’t look like it will allow us to offer Young Eagle rides, we will have our flight simulators running, which can always be set for sunny skies!

Also, a reminder that December 7th is the last day to purchase tickets for our 2022 Holiday Party, which starts at  6pm on Thursday, December 15th at Cattlemens restaurant in Roseville.  For more information and to purchase tickets, click here.

Happy Holidays from EAA 1541!

It is now just two weeks till our 2022 chapter Holiday Party, and the restaurant needs our attendance count (and payment) by December the 8th.

After three long years since our last chapter Holiday Party, we hope you’ll be able to join us for the 2022 edition on Thursday, December 15th beginning at 6 pm.  The event will include:

• A sit-down dinner of your choice of New York steak, Teriyaki Chicken, or Ravioli Pasta, with side dishes, and non-alcoholic beverages.
• A no-host bar made available by Cattlemen’s.
• Raffle prizes
• A silent auction of donated aviation-related items.  (If you have something to donate for the auction, please drop it off at the EAA hangar, S-12 at KLHM, or at the check-in table at our December 10th pancake breakfast.)
• A year-in-review program with
  • Presentation of chapter service awards
  • A video collage of events and milestones of 2022

Our IMC/VMC club for December will be from 7 – 8 pm on Thursday, December 1st.  The special topic will be how to make an emergency descent without overspeeding the aircraft.  Our “What Would You Do?” scenario involves an encounter with pilots who pride themselves on their anti-authority attitude.

This event is eligible for FAA Wings program safety credit, by registering here.

All pilots are invited to participate.  The Zoom link to join the session will be sent 24 hours prior.

We won’t be serving a full breakfast this week on the Saturday after Thanksgiving, but at least we will have two of the basic food groups available:  coffee and donuts, from 8-10 a.m. in the EAA hangar, S-12 at KLHM. Bring your best Thanksgiving get-together stories.

Our flight simulators will be running, and Holiday party tickets will be on sale.  There will not be Young Eagle flights, however, due to our pilots having other obligations.

Stop by the gazebo at KLHM this Saturday between 8 am and 12 noon to look at vintage aircraft on display, have some coffee and donuts, and talk airplanes.  We will also have tickets available at the gazebo for our Dec. 15th Holiday party, details here.

Our second Saturday pancake breakfast on Saturday, November 12th will have a little culinary innovation, with breakfast burritos on the menu.

Breakfast will be held at the EAA hangar, S-12 at KLHM from 8 am to 10.  Suggested donation $7 for adults, $5 for kids, $20 for a family.  Our flight simulators will be available, and Young Eagle flights will be available beginning at 8 am (parental permission required).

You can also purchase tickets at the breakfast for our 2022 chapter Holiday Party which will be held Thursday, December 15th starting at 6 pm, at Cattlemen’s restaurant in Roseville. For more information about the party, please click here.

Our online IMC/VMC club meeting for November will be held this coming Thursday, November 3rd at 7 pm PDT.  The special topic will be a presentation on Terminal Radar Service Areas (TRSA’s) by CFII Scott Thompson.  The “What Would You Do?” scenario involves a night flight in good VFR conditions where the runway lights don’t come on when you get there.

This event is eligible for FAA Wings credit by registering here. All pilots are invited to join the discussion and add their own insight and experiences.  The Zoom link for this event will be sent 24 hours prior to those who register for Wings credit.

Fly safe!
