On the spot Fly-out Nov. 7th
I just could not pass up a 75 degree day sunny, and 3 knot winds. I quickly sent out a few texts and wow! What a response. The # 402 does have some pilots still interested in flying. Destination breakfast at Urbana Grimes Field. 9 aircraft and 12 pilots and passengers. I think all had one of those, I’ll remember this day!

Meeting Tuesday Sept 15th
Hello Fellow Chapter Members:
This is a reminder that this coming Tuesday evening we will hold our monthly chapter meeting outdoors at the shelter by the big hangar or in the hangar if weather is inclement. We have a lot of important chapter business to discuss and would like to have high attendance. The Pot Luck is at 6:15pm and the meeting is at 7:00pm sharp. Burgers/buns and hot dogs/buns will be provided and cooked as usual by Carl O. and Rollie. Please remember to bring a covered dish or dessert to share.
Thank you,
Tom McFadden
Sec., EAA 402
Passing of Kenny Rauch
Kenny Rauch passed away Friday Aug. 21 2020 . I want to thank everyone that was a friend to my father [not a hard man to like]. He talked a lot about EAA and loved building and flying planes and the help and advice from fellow pilots was appreciated.
Thanks again,
Rod Rauch
