Next time you come to BSAEC, take a look at Keith Rhode’s beautifully polished Sonex wings. We’ll see this airplane being re-assembled soon and hopefully doing some test flying from LVN. With two planes at BSAEC, we can truthfully say the place is being well used as a hangar, and the Chapter benefits from the monthly donations of the owners.
The August On Final is now available and can be downloaded here. Thanks to John Koser, Craig Nelson, Gary Rene, Noel Allard, Bill Brown, Ed Hansen, Steve Adkins and Kris Olson for their contributions and assistance this month.
Our August meeting will take place on Wednesday, the 18th, at the Chapter 25 hangar at Airlake. The meeting will feature Randy Schoephoerster presenting a WINGS seminar on Seaplane Piloting. This seaplane ground training will cover the fundamentals of flying on the water. For those interested in getting their Single Engine Seaplane rating, this is an excellent chance to test out if this rating is for you.
