Fellow aviators: Tonight is the night! Our "Third Thursday" chapter meeting will be at 1900 at the 07F FBO. See you there! Jim Quinn (GGG) Chapter Secretary 903.746.0342

This morning the Lunch with a pilot! event this Saturday, June 22nd at the GCHM was cancelled. Sorry.... Jim Quinn GGG Chapter Secretary 903.746.0342

Fellow aviators: Just a reminder that Thursday evening at 1900 we're having our regular monthly meeting. Please don't let our chapter die due to the lack of attendance that we've experienced the last couple of months. Also.... We need someone to step forward and serve as our chapter president. Please consider volunteering. Jim Quinn Chapter Secretary 903.746.0342

Fellow aviators: As some of you know, I am a volunteer with the Gregg County Historical Museum and have provided drone imagery and other photo services to the museum for the last several years. In my former business travels all over the western USA, 48 weeks a year for many years, I enjoyed visiting local museums in many communities in my territory, which was everything west of the Mississippi River. Our museum ranks at the very top as far as exhibits, etc. and is something we have in our city and county that we can certainly be proud of. I know that several members are indeed current and/or former military and/or civilian pilots, crew members and support personnel in a former life and may have some interest in the current exhibits and aviation activities, so I wanted to pass this along at the request of the museum staff. Since all of us have interests in aviation, I wanted to forward this information about an upcoming event at the Gregg County Historical Museum that many of you may enjoy. (This fundraising effort goes right along with this past weekend's balloon festival and National Competition hosted by the City of Longview.) Soar Above the Rest Lunch with a pilot! June 22, 11am-2pm, $15 per ticket Have lunch with an airplane, helicopter, hot air balloon and drone pilot to ask all the questions and hear fascinating stories from all their experiences! Tickets: https://events.humanitix.com/lunch-with-a-pilot/tickets Thanks! Jim Quinn Chapter Secretary 903.746.0342

Good morning, guys! Just wanted to let you all know we are expected a BIG turnout for YE day next weekend. We have 50 registrants! We have 7 pilots as of right now, and if I can secure more pilots, I will allow more registrations. So if you or someone you know would like to fly, please let me know!

A couple of years ago someone attending a chapter meeting mentioned that they do dynamic prop balancing. Does anyone know who that was? Or have a recommendation of a shop that does it? FYI, the shop at Marshall does not do it.

Fellow aviators: Here are the minutes from our latest meeting... Jim Quinn Chapter Secretary

Fellow aviators, Just a reminder that our chapter meeting is tonight at 1900. We're accepting volunteers for the president's chair. See you this evening! Jim Quinn (Longview) 903.746.0342

Fellow aviators, Just a quick reminder of our Third Thursday chapter meeting this week at 1900. We need someone to step forward to take the yoke and serve as our chapter president; Ronnie has had to step away from the position due to business and family responsibilities. If you recall he did take the position last year with the caution that he was extremely busy even then and may not be able to serve for very long. He will continue to be our YE Coordinator, thank goodness! See you Thursday evening at 1900! Jim Quinn Chapter Secretary 903.746.0342

Fellow aviators, BG Mike McClendon will be giving a presentation about his career of flying fighters for the USAF at the Gregg County Historical Museum tomorrow, Thursday, May 2nd from 1730-1830. It's FREE! The museum is located at: 214 N Fredonia Ave Longview TX 75601 It's the old bank building across from the new Longview Museum of Fine Arts; Bank alley and Fredonia Streets.

Fellow aviators, As I'd mentioned in the minutes from our last meeting, Ronnie Godfrey has stepped down from the position of Chapter President effective that evening. He'll continue to be the coordinator for the Young Eagles events (Thank goodness!) however his family and business obligations are first on the list as they should be and time for being our chapter leader just isn't easily available. You may recall that when we "encouraged" him to step up to that plate he did say that he was already too busy but he took the position with the warning that he may have a short term. I want to thank Ronnie for being there for us! Now we need someone else to step up, so please either volunteer or suggest someone for the position. "Voluntold" isn't the thing we want! Hah! New guys? Sure! Do it! We're a friendly bunch and can help you get going. Thanks! See you all for our regular chapter meeting on the third Thursdays of each month at 7:00 p.m. at the FBO! Jim Quinn (GGG) Chapter Secretary 903.746.0342
