EAA Chapter 838

This Thursday, September 17th will be our monthly Chapter Gathering. There will be BIG EXCITING NEWS at this Gathering, so you won’t want to miss it.

The evening will begin at 6:00 pm with dinner for those who are interested. Geoff Wilde, one of our Marvelous Monday Night Mechanics has offered to make Pulled Pork for us for dinner. You won’t want to miss that. As always, a donation is requested to cover the cost of the groceries.

Here’s a hint for one of the BIG EXCITING things that will be revealed; it has to happen before sundown. So normal dinner time may be shortened in order for this to occur timely. Following that, we will adjourn to the classroom for the remainder of the Gathering.

Again, this will be a BIG EXCITING evening, so don’t miss it.

Our next Young Eagles Rally for EAA Chapter 838 will be Saturday, May 9. We will begin our Ground School at 9:00am and youth who plan to fly must be in Ground School. You will learn about what keeps a plane in the air, some of the history of aviation and a bit about careers in aviation, aerospace and all of those fun areas. The highlight of the day will be a flight in one of our General Aviation planes. Pre-registration is required for this event, so go tohttps://eaachapters.org/event-details/RY32437FL to sign up. Space is limited, so don’t wait! And remember, you must be between the ages of 8 and 17, and you must have a parent or guardian there to sign the release form.

The Root River Rollers and EAA Chapter 838 will be hosting the Annual Pancake Breakfast in early May. Watch this space for more details as they become available!

Next Saturday, April 11th will be our first Young Eagles Rally of the season. If you are between the ages of 8-17 years old (or know someone who is) and want to learn more about aviation and aerospace, then this is the event for you. We will teach you a little bit about the science behind keeping that plane in the air and moving forward, we will give you a chance on our flight simulators and (drum roll please) provide you with a ride in a general aviation aircraft, courtesy of our volunteer pilots. Where can you have that much fun on a Saturday morning for free! Go to https://events.eaachapters.org/event-details/RY29893PA
