Chapter Weekend Flyout To West Gladstone, (Escanaba), Michigan. - July 10, 2024

We had our annual weekend flyout to West Gladstone Airport, a mere ten miles north of Escanaba, Michigan this past weekend. An amazing time was had by all! About twelve aircraft flew up from the chapter and those that didn't fly took their cars, trucks and campers to the weekend long event. Hosted by Jason Seel, it was awesome. A 3000' grass/sand runway, deer everywhere, great food and drink and about 40 of our members and their families showed up. If you didn't come, plan on it next year for sure! There is no better summer event! Here are a few pics!

Weekly Shop Night

Have you ever wanted to learn how to pull a rivet? Are you mechanically inclined but have no space at home to build things? Are you interested in just seeing the internal workings of an airplane? If any of these apply to you, or if you are just curious, join our intrepid Monday Night Mechanics each Monday from 7:00 pm until people get tired. We are currently rebuilding an engine and completing an airplane that was begun by one of our members who unfortunately passed away before the plane was finished. The goal is to fly it once in memory of the late, great Roy Stuart, and then hang it in our museum. If you are interested in attending, please contact Glen Malkmus, our Shop Coordinator. Youth, please make sure to bring a responsible adult with you.
