If you are intending to display your aircraft during Airfest, please move your aircraft on Friday.

After about 07:00 on Saturday it may not be possible to move an aircraft across the ramp with all of the barriers in place.

We’re going to have a booth at Airfest, and Scott is requesting photos for display.

Ideally, the photos will be fairly high resolution photos (like over 1 MB) showing members and their airplanes – just airplanes are fine, too, but having the member in the photo would fit better with the poster theme: “What Our Members are Flying.”

Mail anything you have over to Scott.

The June Board of Directors meeting takes place on Wednesday 7th. It will be at the new pizza place that’s replaced Pizza Roundup, 2270 Nicolaus Rd., Lincoln… dinner at 18:00, meeting at 18:30. All members are invited.

• Thursday, June 08; 10:00 – 14:00 We will need 6-10 folks to help set up fencing and barriers, set t-posts
  Park on the ramp by the gazebo, or in the lot across from ramp 1.

• Friday; June 09; 10:00 – 15:00 Practice Airshow for the FAA
  parking… enter gate 3. Parking between the 2 green hangars as we will on Saturday.
  • The airspace will be waivered from 11:00 to 15:00, so we will need some folks on the ramp by 10:00
    This will be a full airshow, without all the visitors, so we can fully enjoy the show
  • the airspace will be closed from about 12 noon to 3:30 pm, so we will need some crew on the taxiways to monitor any ramp aircraft.

• Saturday, June 10;
  • arrive; morning shift arrive by 07:00 or earlier. [The airspace will close about 10:00 to about 15:30].
  • parking; enter gate 3 and park between the 2 rows of green hangars. Tell the parking folks that you are a ramp volunteer,
  • check in
    • Initially we will check in at the gazebo / fuel pump area… later, we may move this to the EAA booth.
    • You must check in, sign the roster next to your name [ we need to know who is on the ramp] pick up a vest and a badge.
  • assignments
    • most will be needed in the AM shift parking display aircraft.
    • we will also need 2 folks on taxiway ‘D’ to direct transient aircraft. This will be a 2 hr shift since it will get boring.
    • We need folks at the show line to keep visitors from crossing the barriers.
    • we need 2-3 to patrol the north hangar area, since visitors will be parking here, between the rows or hangars.
      the visitors are not allowed to loiter – they must move to the display ramp, visitors leaving will exit gate 4 [ to be verified]
  • relief;
    • expect to be on the ramp for about 4 hours. You will be relieved for a lunch/ rest/ refreshment break [ earlier if needed ]
    • lunch; I expect that the crew will get vouchers for a meal and drinks.
    • we will have 1-2 roving crew with water/ drinks.

Come and spend some time in a session with a NorCal ATC controller during this program to be held at the EAA Hangar (S-12) on Saturday, June 24th, at 09:00 at the Lincoln Airport. Let’s take this opportunity to learn how to make interactions with our local Approach Control more efficient for both ourselves and the controllers who are working us. Are there things we as pilots can do to make the system work better for us and other users? And maybe there are things we see from our perspective that would help those on the other side of the headset make the traffic flow better for all. All are welcome but, pilots especially, bring your questions and comments for a solid exchange of information. Spread the word and bring your friends. Let’s take advantage of this opportunity. And, there will be coffee and donuts.

Come and join us for a pancake breakfast at hangar S-12, 08:30 -10:30.

We may also have a ‘painting crew’ to paint 14 4×8 sheets of plywood for the Airfest.

Richard Pearl needs 14 sheets of 4×8 plywood painted, one side, 10 white and 4 orange.

There are 8 sheets in the EAA hangar and white paint.

Rich will get the orange paint… There is a need to get 6 more 4×8 sheets.

These will be used for the airshow , out along the runway to define the ‘aerobatic box’

Jim is looking for a work crew to paint what is there next week, after Monday.

Then, maybe, on our 1st Sat open hangar day, June 3, we’ll get the remainder painted.
