We’re still needing a few good men (and women!) for Tri-motor marketing events – handing out flyers and talking to people about flying – you can see the list here.
Oroville Airport Day, May 16th
Chapter 1112 are hosting an Airport Day at Oroville Airport on May 16th. There’ll be aircraft, custom cars, motorcycles, RC demos, food, vendors and more. They’re also running a Young Eagles event between 08:00 and 12:00. Call (530) 370-6266 for more details.
BOD / Tri-Motor Meeting on Wednesday
Just a reminder that the upcoming meeting on Wednesday, May 6, will be held at Tony’s hangar. Pizza will be available, and the meeting should start close to 18:00.
It is very important to get as many of those who have volunteered for the Tri-Motor event to show up. Even though it is officially a board meeting, the topic will be the event in June. We only have one more scheduled meeting after this to make sure everything is ironed out.
If you haven’t volunteered yet, but intended to, Wednesday night will be a good time to!
May Tri-motor / board meeting on Wednesday
The Tri-Motor event is ever closer! This month’s BOD meeting will be mostly a Tri-Motor meeting, and will be at Tony’s Hangar. Meeting and pizza at 18:00 on May 6.
This may be our last chance to address all the loose ends. All are welcomed…and encouraged to attend.

RIP Hugh Crawford
With extreme sadness that Ivan Karnezis informs us that last Friday afternoon, while working at the Sacramento Railroad Museum, Hugh Crawford had a massive heart attack and died. Hugh was a great friend, an interesting and fun conversationalist, a dependable Young Eagles worker, master BBQ chef, contributing Board Member, hard working Membership Chairman, and the one who always contacted the Chapter 526 membership. We will all miss him.
Hugh’s wife, Alice has invited all of you and past members and friends to Hugh’s Memorial at the Railroad Museum in Old Sacramento: 17:00, May 2.
A dinner will be served. Please RSVP to Alice.
