AirVenture 2023 - Report

Special Shout-Outs!!!

Special thanks to NEW sponsor Ed Reeder and Jackie Thomas of Uncommon USA Inc. for sponsoring us with an new American flag. After cleaning the clubhouse, our ceremonial flag was a little misplaced and nobody could find it. Ed and Jackie came to our rescue with a new flag. From all of us, a BIG Thanks!
Doctor Andrew Radovan – This year Dr. Glen was in Africa on special assignment and Dr. Andy stepped up when a new member came down with an infection in his jaw. The new member requested that a special thanks goes out to you for your help.
Stewart Morrison – Don’t think for one second you are getting this because your dad is on the board. It was well recognized that YOU put in a lot of extra effort this year in helping us prepare the clubhouse for this years convention. You earned this shout-out on your own, so Thank you!
Airdrome Aeroplanes donated new weather vanes which are real rudders from their aircraft! These are really nice! Thanks Baz!!!!

Board Report

Pending – Jim, send something to me so we can post it here.

On-Display

Most of the airplanes that committed last year to this year’s show could not make it for various reasons. However the Manufactures did not disappoint. Airdrome Airplanes and Voisin Aircraft both showed and were on the front line this year.

Camping Report

New Members, Good location, good times!

Roughly 24 members camped with us this year. Fantastic to have new members from New Zealand with us and I so hope you can come back again! Long time members J. and daughter Amy came for a few days. Brand new members David, Dan, Ryan and F-15 Pilot Chuck camped with us.

It is always great when new members camp with us and share new stories.

Clubhouse News

Thanks to Board member Julian and Stewart Morrison, the clubhouse got super cleaned and got a new look. The new chairs really make a huge difference and are major upgrade to the old hard-to-sit-in issued forum chairs.

Also Thanks to Uncle Louie who managed to finally got us some really good Rondels with out logo for the building and Doc Andy who was patient enough to laminate them to the aluminum backing.
