Thanks to Ami Sela, Bill Molnar, John Koser, Craig Nelson, Pat Halligan, Kim Johnson, Kris Olson and Ron Oehler for their contributions and assistance this month.

This month, we are offering chapter members two choices for the monthly meeting Wednesday evening, April 20th.

The first choice is a tour of the MSP tower – the tower can only support a limited number, so please contact John Koser (see page 3 of the newsletter) before noon on Tuesday Apr 19 if you want to attend – John will finalize arrangements and let everyone know when to gather at the tower. See the map on page 3.

The second choice is to join the Piet builder group at BSAEC, our chapter hangar at Airlake at 6:30pm – the group will continue working on the Piet project for the evening. Contact Pat Halligan if you have questions – directions on page 3 of the newsletter.

Finally, because we had to cancel Young Eagles yesterday due to weather, Bill Brown has scheduled a Special Edition Young Eagles event on Saturday, May 14th – please contact Bill if you can volunteer. We will also be holding our regular Young Eagle event on May 21st.

Here’s the plan for the March 16, Wednesday Chapter 25 meeting at BSAEC:

We’ll start with the grill on at 6P for brats. Please bring items to compliment: chips, pickles, salad, dessert, etc.

Our business meeting will begin about 7P, and probably run 30 minutes maximum.

By 730P, our guest and presenter, Mark Schreier, MSP TRACAN, (Ret), and MN FAASTeam Rep, will have us participating in “How to Get Anything You Want from ATC.”

This is an active, participation-oriented session where we can participate with Mark as he takes us through a scenario or two. I think you’ll find it interesting, informative, and fun.

The February On Final is now available and can be downloaded here. Thanks to Bill Brown, Kris Olson, Jim Noone, John Koser, Craig Nelson, Terry Marsh, Lou Martin, Loren Swanson and Ron Oehler for their contributions and assistance this month.

Reminder: This month, we will meet at BASEC, our chapter hangar at Airlake, on Wednesday, February 16th – Chili on at 6:30, meeting at 7pm. Please bring something to go with chili (crackers, cheese, desserts)to share. Program, map and directions on page 3.

The January On Final is now available and can be downloaded here. This month Norm Tesmar and Bob Poore put together a great article on Bob’s Piet. Also, see the new paint job on Gary Rene’s Celerity on page 8. Thanks to Norm Tesmar, Bob Poore, Pat Halligan, John Koser, Craig Nelson, Gary Rene, Kris Olson, and Ron Oehler for their contributions and assistance this month.

Reminder: This month, we will meet at BASEC, our chapter hangar at Airlake, on Wednesday, January 19th – grill on at 6, meeting at 7pm. Please bring something to grill and something to share. The Piet group will have Pietenpol history and videos, and report on the group’s progress. They are also planning to bring the fuselage down to BSAEC for the meeting. Map and directions on page 3.

The weather is cold, but not cold enough to stop Chapter 25! Here are our events for this month:

• Young Eagles is scheduled (weather permitting) for Saturday, 15 January at Airlake.
• Chapter 25 Board of Directors meeting will occur following the Young Eagles event, but if weather doesn’t permit a Young Eagle rally, the Board will meet at 10AM at BSAEC.
• Monthly Chapter 25 meeting, on Wednesday, January 19, at BSAEC will feature Pietenpol Group members presenting on the origins and history of Pietenpol airplanes as well as an update on the current building project.
