EAA Chapter 25

This month’s Chapter meeting is on Wednesday, 2/20/2019  - This month’s meeting will be at our Chapter hangar, the Bert Sisler Aviation Education Center (BSAEC) at Airlake Airport in Lakeville, MN. The presenter will be Mark Korin, owner of Alpha Systems AOA (angle of attack). The Alpha Systems produces an electronic AOA system utilizing a new pressure measurement technology which can be installed in most aircraft without any major modifications. They produce a full color Heads-Up-Display (HUD) so that real-time Angle of Attack can be seen when it is needed most, on top of the glare shield in the pilot’s peripheral vision. Mark is currently a VFR pilot, working on his IFR rating. Aside from work and flying, he makes time for another favorite hobby, inventing and making ideas into products. He is also Mayor of the City of Oak Grove, MN. Look up Alpha Systems AOA at: http://www.alphasystemsaoa.com.

Gifts will be collected on Saturday, December 1, 2018 from 9 am to 1 pm at the Maple Lake Municipal Airport (KMGG).

These gifts will be distributed to a total of 40 hospitals in MN, and all Ronald McDonald Houses in MN. There are several drop off points for your convenience.
