Wow! Did the summer ever go by fast! That seems to be my thought and feelings as I sum up the past two months. I’m sure many of you share similar thoughts and feelings as well. I must say, though, that from my standpoint, it truly was a busy and exciting summer for me with all the flying events that I attended. That having been said, I can hardly wait to see all of you again as we resume another season of regular meetings. I am looking forward to hearing about everyone’s adventures of the summer past.

One of the things we can also anticipate is the weather that will be arriving with the fall season, as this is some of the best flying weather in our region to look forward to. Although the days may grow shorter, the cooler air will most certainly bring with it some nice calm air and increased performance from our aircraft.

In keeping with our regular meeting format, I shall present another educational talk, and I enjoy the feedback that these talks tend to generate. I certainly learn from the group as a whole, and I hope you do as well. We are rather fortunate to have such a vast wealth of knowledge and experience to draw upon within our club.

One thing I would like to ask from the membership as a whole is to obtain some of your opinions and thoughts as to what you would like to see or have happen with respect to any events or activities that we perhaps have not done, or perhaps ones in the past that you might like to repeat. At any rate, I look forward to your input.

In closing, I’d like to say welcome back to all of you, and I’d also like to remind our friends and visitors that they are very welcome to join in the fun and adventure as well.

Till then, stay safe, have fun…..and take along a friend.
