Wish I would have seen this earlier, I would have definitely stopped by.

We go to Oshkosh every year and camp out under-wing across from the ultralight barn in Vintage. Our group, the Metro Warbirds, is fairly large and we celebrated our 40th year this year. On Monday night, we hosted ‘brat’ night and served around 300 people. Fun times.

A year ago I took over as president of the Leesburg EAA chapter 534. You should stop by sometime. On Thursday and Saturday mornings the hangar is a buzz with the hangar monkeys working on projects. Currently we have C150, Murphy, Pietenpol and Stinson projects. The Stinson is our newest project and we are planning to have our youth program recover it and then hopefully sell it to fund the completion of our C150. Once completed, the C150 will transfer to a flying club to promote youth aviation through flying lessons and young eagle flights.
