Lori got a half hour ride in North American Top Gun’s T-6 in Marysville. Great aerobatics and formation flying with another T-6. They even let me take the controls and talked me through a loop!

Mary Biller took her two nephews, ages 13 and 14, for their first airplane ride, got checked out in the Cessna 172RG, and began training for the commercial rating.

Meeting Minutes

The meeting was called to order by Marjorie Anderson. We began with a presentation from EAA9 members Chuck Hoisington and Dick Wetherald regarding the Young Eagles program.

Dawn Velasco and Mary Biller won books and Charma won a hat.
