We regret to inform you that the chapter won’t be preparing breakfast for fly-in pilots – there were permits needed, and there just isn’t the time. We greatly appreciate that so many were willing to volunteer. We can still attend though!

Following is a list of current volunteers who have signed up to help out with the breakfasts at the Capitol Airshow on October 3rd and 4th. This is a two-day commitment for the Chapter, but volunteers can specify less, if necessary. If you don’t see your name, and you wish to volunteer, just email Gary or collar him at the airport. Further details are forthcoming, but you will at least get to see the airshow and have breakfast for free!

2. Dug Smith (maybe Saturday, definitely Sunday)
3. Jim Hughes
4. Gary Boothe
5. Ken Ledwith
6. Kevin Finney
7. Jerry Klopotek (Saturday)

As discussed at the meeting last night, Mike Rutledge (of the Associated Modellers Of Sacramento F-4 model fame) has offered to give us a tour of the F-4 (and, if there’s time, the A-10) at the Aerospace Museum of California (3200 Freedom Park Drive, McClellan, CA 95652). We’re going to take him up on it. On October 11th, at 10:00, meet by the entrance. We have free tickets to give to the first 12 members there, and the rest of you’ll have to pay $8 each (seniors $6).

At the membership meeting, it was decided that we’d serve pancake breakfasts at the California Capital airshow on the 3rd and 4th of October. We’ll need people from 07:00 to 11:00 to sell, cook and serve breakfasts – we’re anticipating over 200 customers per day.

Norcal Flight Center are having their second monthly Pancake Breakfast on September 19th at Lincoln Airport.
They’re committed to building the community at the Lincoln Regional Airport and this will help build up the community on and off the airport. This is a fly-in event for pilots around the region, owners and tenants on the field and anyone in the community that wants to come out and look at some planes and enjoy the atmosphere of aviation.
They’re asking for a small $5 donation to support EAA chapter 1541 and our efforts to expand aviation and to educate children.
