I hope everyone enjoyed their Labor Day. This a quick note to remind everyone of upcoming events this month. First is our Play Day at IXD this Saturday starting around 10am-ish. As always we will be flying off of the CAF ramp on the north end of the field and everyone is welcome.

Next on the calendar is my hangar party on Sept 14th. Again all are welcome to come out to the Gardner airport and have a good time at hangar C-17. This year starting at 3pm I will have some of the food ready and we will be doing a spot landing and bomb drop competition. So come on out and have a little fun! I supply all the meat and will prime the pump for adult beverages for when we’re done flying. You’re welcome to bring a side or dessert and anything you’d like to drink. I hope to see everyone there!

Hello everyone. Just a note to remind you of the Aces High contest at Newton Ks.(KEWK) on September 9th & 10th.
I got the following note from David Marten, contest director:

Are you ware of any IAC 15 pilots heading to Newton, KS for our 2017 ACE’s High Contest? With the pre-registration system down we’re having trouble getting decent estimates on how many pilots are competing.
2017 will be a Power-only contest as the USAFA Glider Team is not attending this year.
I’d appreciate your ‘best-guess’ and ask your members to please RSVP to davemarten77@gmail.com or give me a call at 605-390-8044
We’re also looking for another Judge. If any of your guys are interested we’ll reimburse lodging expenses.

Thanks,
Dave Marten
IAC 119 President / Contest Director

Anyone planning to participate or who could help with the contest, give please give David a call or send him a note.

The next IAC15 meeting will be September 25th.

Hello everyone. I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving holiday.
A few things of importance to relay to you:
1. The IAC15 Christmas party will be on January 9th, 17:00hrs at the Wittenborn’s home. More info and directions will follow later. As the date approaches, I’ll ask that you RSVP please. So, put the date on your calendar.

2. For those who care to join us, we’ll plan to gather for breakfast at “We Be Smokin” this Saturday, at 9:30 at the Miami County Airport
If we can gather a quorum, we’ll call it a meeting. Weather looks like it might be just fine for a morning flight.

3. Unless, of course, we have a quorum this Saturday, our chapter meeting would normally fall on Monday the 28th this month; the Monday following Christmas. If anyone has suggestions for a different date, I’ll certainly entertain those. We have a slate of officers to vote on for 2016. They are: Rod Flinn, President; John Ostmeyer, Vice President; Grant Wittenborn, Secretary; Dave Maine, Treasurer; Nan Funkhauser, Reporter; John Wittenborn, Member-at-large. Anyone with suggestions for additional candidates speak up.

Well, that’s about all for now. Put the January 9th date on your calendars and hope to see you for breakfast this Saturday in Miami County.

John Wittenborn, IAC15 President.
