Hello everyone. As many of you are aware I’m in the process of redoing our aerobatic box waiver for IXD. I was hoping I’d hear something from the Kansas City FSDO by today. Unfortunately the box is still out of service so there will be no play day tomorrow. I’ll be in touch with the FSDO again next week to see if the process can be expedited. I’ll pass on the information to you as I get it.

Hello everyone. This is to advise you there will not be a chapter meeting this Monday, May 23rd.
Second, because of an error in the waiver which defines the confines of our aerobatic box, the box cannot be used until this mistake is rectified. I’ll be working with the KC FISDO to get this resolved as quickly as possible. Stand by for further information.
Best regards.
John Wittenborn
Chapter Information
IAC members interested in flying in the aerobatic box this Saturday, May 7th should indicate that interest by replying to this note. The box will be available from 09:00 to 16:00 hrs. The airspace waiver will be available to sign and those who wish to fly should indicate that interest so a ground spotter with a radio can assist with the flight operation.
John Wittenborn, President IAC15

Lee’s daughter Ronda called me this evening (Apr 22) to say that Lee was moved from the hospital to Olathe Hospice House today. He is not able speak at this time, but she said he clearly recognizes people who visit, and would welcome any visitors, even as early as tomorrow. The address is:
Olathe Hospice House

Rod Flinn visited with Lee today. His report follows:
I visited Lee this morning at Shawnee Mission Medical Center. Lee is allowed visitors and he was clearly happy to see me. Having said that he was not able to speak although he tried several times.
Rhonda, his daughter, said that he had not eaten today or yesterday. He is very weak, and while he can hear and see was not able to speak or gesture while i was there.
I would encourage anyone who is interested in visiting to do so, as it clearly cheered Lee up, but they should be aware his condition is not good. Having said that, he still has an eye for the ladies.
