Chapter Fly-Out – South Jersey Regional

Chapter Fly-Out – Invitation

Join us Sunday, April 28th, for a flight to South Jersey Regional Airport (KVAY) in Mount Holly, NJ. It will be a good chance to practice your Class B airspace skills in this short, 30 to 40-minute flight. Or, if things are busy or you don’t want to deal with them, you can always take the scenic route around Philly’s Class B.

Once we arrive, we’ll have breakfast at the Runway Cafe, before heading over to the New Jersey Air Victory Museum. With a great collection of aircraft (including an F-14A Tomcat!), the museum is always worth visiting.

We’ll meet at the chapter hangar at 08:30 for briefing and seat assignment, with a planned departure time of 09:00. As always, the flight is weather and TFR-dependent, and we’ll try to pick an alternate destination if we can’t make it to our primary.

Please register. Pilots and planes are always needed! Let us know how many seats you have available when registering. Passengers, provide good contact information and accurate weight when registering.

Questions or more information?

Volunteer Work Parties

Hangar Maintenance – Volunteer Help Needed

This Saturday – April 27th

0830 to noon – fueled by coffee & donuts

We’re hoping to have volunteer help at our two Work Party sessions on the day & times above.

The hangar, kitchen and meeting room facility are a major asset of this unique Chapter and we need to maintain and improve them as we become more dependent on their use. This year we are investing in air-conditioning units for both the kitchen and to help in the Meeting Room space. These have been acquired and are now ready for installation….with your help.

We’re also improving the lighting in the kitchen and bathroom areas, with new LED fixtures. After completing this work, and now that we have resealed all the upstairs windows to stop rain leaks, we can then replace the damaged ceiling tiles in the kitchen and bathroom areas.

We have to repaint the rusting main hangar door frame, and repair the external staircase too.

Your help in completing this work plan would make it go quicker and better, please plan on joining us and sign up below, clicking the link that works for you.

New members – this is a great chance to meet Chapter members and to contribute to your new Chapter!

We’ll be looking for you!
