Meeting Minutes January 15, 2022

EAA Chapter 1167

Old Business:

• Considering combining our November fly-in with the skydive people (Drop Zone) from PA - Doug Floyd

  • the hospitality people could be an advocate to get this pushed in through the county administrators

New Business:

• Sponsoring a youth to Air Academy - $1605 tuition ($305 credit from our YE activities) plus transportation to Oshkosh.

• Teaches 15 hours of ground school, metal work, wood work, then maintenance.

• The chapter is willing to provide the tuition and write a half-page introduction / present themselves to the chapter for selection to attend.

• Oshkosh is July 25 - 31 (Doug has three rooms reserved but only needs one if someone would like to join) $135 / day

• Sun-n-fun will be April 5 - 10 (Contact Larry if you want a camp site and he can stake your claim for you.)

• If you're able to commit a few hours of work to the event Larry can probably get you admission as compensation.

• There are new forms for the YE events

Main Discussion:

• QT nationwide service went down last week and ALL the airport gas pumps were unusable. Only those with trucks loaded already could dispense fuel.
