The Collegiate Challenge set
for 25-27 April at Seward Nebraska Airport has been cancelled.
Unfortunately, the late snows and cold in the upper Midwest have not allowed enough practice time for most to compete and airplanes are still hangared.
In its place, MAC80 will will host a Play Day/Judging Practice Day on Saturday 26 April starting at noon if the day is good to fly and will roll out the grill for hotdogs and more.
The Midwest Aerobatic Championships 5 category contest is still on for June 20 through 22.

Hello everyone. Just a reminder about our IAC15 meeting coming up Monday the 24th of March; 7pm at Signature Flight Support FBO. There are several items on the agenda this month: Paul Holland, the IXD tower chief, will attend our meeting and give a presentation on ATC procedures, considerations and concerns associated with our aerobatic box over the airport; we’ll discuss preliminary organizational items with CD, Greg Shetterly concerning the Barnstormer contest in September and lastly discuss our first play day of the year planned for Saturday, April 5th. We plan to open the box over KIXD at 9am and invite flyers from surrounding chapters (ICT119 & LNK80) to join us. Along with the play day event on April 5th, we’d like to invite all our chapter members and friends (flyers & non-flyers) to join us at High Noon for a Lunch gathering at Austins Restruante in Gardner Ks. So put those dates on your calendars & see Monday

Just a note to remind everyone of the KC IAC #15 meeting this next Monday, February 24th, 2014 at Signature Flight Support FBO on the West side of New Century Airport (KIXD) at 7pm.
To bring everyone up-to-date on chapter events and issues:
1. Our January 27th meeting was well attended. We addressed several major issues and nailed down some important dates for activities in the coming year. A couple of changes have been made: a) the chapter #15 monthly meeting will be held on the 4th Monday of each month at Signature Flight Support at IXD; b)The annual chapter dues have been increased to $30.
2. In addition to the chapter Christmas party held in December, the chapter will sponsor a “Spring Fling” gathering. Roy and Jan Thorton have kindly volunteered to host that event at their home. The tentative date is Saturday, May 3rd. More information on that event will follow.
3. The chapter discussed play days and hangar parties. Beginning in April we elected to open the aerobatic box and to host a play day at KIXD on the 1st Saturday of each month. An occasional hangar party will follow the flying activities. I’ll send out an RSVP prior to determine interest and participation. Again, those dates are flexible.
4. KC Chapter #15 will host the Harold Newman Barnstormer Contest on September 6th-7th with practice and registration days prior. Greg Shetterly has, once again volunteered to be the contest director. Again more information will follow.
5. The Lincoln Nebraska chapter and Lynn Bowes will be hosting a judges school April 12th-13th. John Morrissey will preside. We encourage each of you to consider attending that event.
That’s all for now. I look forward to seeing you at the meeting on Monday.

The votes were counted at the November meeting, and the Chapter has a new President for 2014.
John Wittenborn has agreed to take over as President of Chapter 15, and the rest of the elected position holders have agreed to maintain their current roles into the new year.
As the President of IAC 15 for a number of years, I’d like to say thank you for all your support for the club and your dedication to aerobatics and flying in general. An organization like ours is nothing without dedicated members and volunteers who strive for common goals of aviation safety, education, camaraderie, and entertainment.
While a growing family has placed new demands for my time, I will still be an active member in the club and will continue to support the growth of our chapter.
On behalf of IAC Chapter 15, I wish you a Merry Christmas, a prosperous new year, and many blue skies.
Grant Wittenborn
