1 TEXAS CHAPTER ANTIQUE AIRPLANE ASSOCIATION NEWSLETTER NOVEMBER 2016 GAINESVILLE FLY-IN 2016 Presidents Message: Lee was not able to attend the October fly in due to an illness that fortunately he has since recovered from. He and his team did a lot of work to make it happen and we missed him at the event. I think that those of you that attended will agree that this year s event was a great success. I want to thank again all the volunteers that helped, and a special thanks to Joel Meanor for his Job as fly in chairman. We had over 200 aircraft fly in on Saturday and I believe a good time was had by all. We will soon begin to make plans for the 2017 fly in and will again need volunteers, so please plan to chip in and help us make next year s fly in even better. Our next meeting will be in Jim and Betty Austin s hangar at North West Regional Airport and is our annual chili cook off so bring your best recipe. We will be taking nominations for the 2017 board of directors so if you really want to help our chapter please let me know before the meeting. Grand Champion N2151C ; Pat and Stephanie Atkinson Flown in by their daughter, the Youngest Pilot award winner Ashley Atkinson KEEP EM FLYING! Terry Page 1
