The June meeting at Ron & Ric’s shop north of Cedaredge was well attended
and a grand time had by all. Aeronautical Oddities played on a VCR while Ron
gave a tour of the inverted fuselage of the 1948 Stinson. “We are building it
inverted because we intend to fly it that way,” said Ron after way too much coffee. With airplane parts on the floor, wall, as well as in the rafters, no better
place for an EAA meeting exists. Pres Manary conducted his usually well run
affair, and with Jan’s incredible muffins devoured, the meeting broke up.

From the Presidents Workbench:
We members of E.A.A. Chapter 1373 owe Bill Patterson a great deal of thanks. He has served as our
Young Eagle Coordinator for a long time - well actually longer than our chapter has existed. Under his
watch hundreds of kids in this valley have experienced the joy of flight for the first time. For many that
first flight was just akin to a carnival ride but for a few it was a life altering experience. We and they thank
you Bill! Bill has asked that we find someone to assume the Young Eagle Coordinator responsibilities and
that spotlights another member who graciously volunteered to be our Young Eagle Coordinator. Thanks for
stepping forward Scott Morse!
I think that we are seeing a trend in chapter member projects toward the lighter machines. It has been
awhile since our meeting focused on this segment of aircraft so our past president, Jamie, has volunteered
(there’s that “V” word again) to host our July meeting and talk about his Trike and probably most any related subject you want to ask him about.
See you all Saturday, July 12th at Jamie and Bill Rules’ hangar, Northfork Valley Airport, Paonia. Anyone
who will be driving to the meeting PLEASE bring a chair. Thank you!
Good flying,

Glade Park property with runway. Please pass info along to help our
EAA family member get a fair price for this project. I am told the
workmanship is excellent. Jeff has flown the plane and may have some
comments for anyone interested. Linda 970-256-1832 Cell 970-2164684

The three worst things to hear Lady, you want me to answer you if this old airplane is safe to fly? Just how in the world
in the cockpit:
do you think it got to be this old?
The second officer says, "Uh Oh !"
The first officer says, "I have an
idea!"
The captain say, "Hey, watch this!"

Pilot Tip from Art: It's much better to break ground and head into the wind than the other way around.

BIGFOOT SIGHTED IN TONOPAH, NV
Do you have a sighting to share with our
members? Email pictures and print to
mfls@deltaairnet.com to share the ride.
This beefed up, modified, big footed C-182 was parked at the ramp at TPH.
The active airport had numerous gliders as well as fire fighting aircraft,
fixed wings as well as those ugly things the ground repels.
