President’s Report: Our fun fly was a good time with visitors from Eau-Claire and Ladysmith. Larry Johnson brought his 30% P-51, and oohd the crowd with his performance and landing skills. Orvin Kuehn had a giant scale cessna (sky master) ? twin tailed aircraft on display complete with the molds he made himself to construct this model, nice job Orvin. At one point we had 28 airplanes ready to fly at any given time. Along with a helicopter flown by Bob Johnson of Eau-Claire. And Brian (Bergie) from Ladysmith showed us how to land with the nose of his cessna.

A reminder to all pilots: Please monitor your flying skills to limit flying overhead. Also put the horses that Chuck made at the entrance when flying. Thank You.

Congratulations to Don Filter for acquiring a shed for the club to store our possessions. And thanks to Shane, Darin, Don, John M, Ellwood and Jim Nichols for moving it to its present location.
