Don’t miss this Wednesday’s monthly dinner meeting, we have both a terrific speaker and a great menu lined up for you! Our speaker, Ralph, is a former Northrop Test Pilot and Engineer who worked on the Flying Wing project, the YB-49.

Doors open at 5:30, Dinner served at 6:15. Cost per person is just $10.00–a bargain for great food, and great company.

The Dinner menu includes:

• Green salad with avocado dressing
• Two (2!) batches of Chili Colorado, mild and spicy
• Brussel sprouts with mushroom sauce
• Dessert is TBD

Last month’s Gas Raffle drawing was deferred to this month, come see who wins–it could be you! Note that all Gas Raffle proceeds go to the PAPA Scholarship Fund. We’ll be back on schedule with a bi-monthly drawing at next month’s meeting. Buy your tickets now and support aviation scholarships!

Next Saturday, April 20th, is a big day at the airport: It’s our first Display Day of 2013, and to kick that off we start the day with Don and Gary’s Excellent Breakfast!

Breakfast will be 8:00 to 9:30 a.m., then we move planes out and set up for Display Day. Breakfast is eggs made to order, corned beef hash, fresh sliced fruit, pancakes, coffee and orange juice, all for only $7!

Display Day scheduled times are 10 AM – ~3 PM. Bring out your planes and share them with the public. It doesn’t matter if they are new or old, shiny or scuffed, the public likes looking at them up close and personal.

As always we need need volunteers for set-up and take down. Contact Joe Debnar at Debnarjoe@comcast.net. Any questions about breakfast, call D-Wayne at 707-773-3898. We’ll see you on Saturday!

Doors open at 5:30, Dinner served at 6:15. Cost per person is just $10.00–honestly, where can you eat like this for $10? And in such gracious company?
