“Greetings from Chapter 64”- Talk about some good flying weather! Storms have been few, in fact, we can’t seem to get rain to save our soul. Visibility is 100 miles. Certainly hope you all have been able to fly. If not, just sit in the yard and look up as a plane goes over! Many thanks to Wayland and Luan Downen for the terrific lasagna at the last meeting. Also, a belated thank you goes to Walt for the April meeting.
