Just a reminder; due to our “Spring Fling” gathering on May 3rd there will be no “Play Day” in May. Roy & Jan Thornton request a count of those who will attend so they can order food. Please RSVP at your convenience.

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 February meeting will be next Monday, the 18th. However, we’ll meet at Signature at KIXD in their conference room instead of Hangar 10 downtown.
Meeting time will still be 7pm. Hopefully this location will better accommodate Southlanders, and still leave time for those driving in from work.
We are still in need of someone to organize a spring judges school. There seems to be a general interest, we just need an organizer to put together all the details. If you have a desire to be that person, send Grant an email at info@iac15.org
