“Greetings from Chapter 64”-Happy Labor Day! Now we’re talking some good flying weather. As the leaves change, change your attitude by getting aloft. This weekend is the St. Louis Fair and Air Show at Chesterfield Airport. You can search St. Louis Fair and Air Show, get on their website, and get all the scoop. This newsletter is of abbreviated fashion as I am out of time as usual.
The August minutes are as follows:

deal.

Lancair project. Mark is set to get his delta hawk diesel engine in September.
We hope for a report or possible meeting to view this engine installation
down the road.

Young Eagles- Larry had nothing new but said he would like an early October
Rally. This date has been set for Saturday, October 1st to coincide with the
Downtown Airport Fly-In. If you can participate in any way, call Larry Frey
at 654-7808. (An earlier email was sent by Larry with details.)
Projects-Wally said Roy Bishoff has an airplane for sale. I neglected to write
down the type but the fuselage is welded although surface rust has set in.
The best part is he is including a low time O-320 for the total sum of $10,000.
See Wally if interested.
