Jim Baker, one of the pilots in Tommy Edwards' Green Monster last year, is the POC for the Dyess AFB Open House at Abilene Muni Airport in Abilene, TX.  Jim is putting together a "fake" competition for entertainment purposes in conjunction with the Air Show.  Contestants will fly once or twice and will be using the Air Show box before or after the main air show.  If any of you are interested in using this event on April 30^th as a fun getaway and pre-season tune-up, then contact Jim Baker directly at (719) 963-3117.  Jim said they'll cover the hotel, transportation to and from the airport, and food.  In addition, you'll get gas for the contest and get "topped off" for your flight home.

In addition, if you have your ACE card, they are looking for Air Show acts to fill out the time slots.  Again, call Jim for details.

The minutes of our Feb. 12, 2011 meeting are now available online.

Hi Fellow Pilots and Friends,

It is with a very heavy heart that I am announcing Operation Rudolph has been cancelled. The lawyers and board at the organization that was supporting the foster children decided they did not want the liability and exposure, despite the fact that they sent out certificates to 50 children for Christmas. Needless to say, I feel horrible for the kids, whom I'm sure have already had enough disappointments in their lives.
