The Chapter 240 annual deck party held Sept 2nd had over 30 participants enjoying hot dogs and numerous side dishes including salads and desserts. Socializing continued well into the night! A great time was had by all.

On Sunday, we continued our flyout tradition with a short flight to York, PA. After morning rain showers we launched just as the skies were clearing into beautiful weather for a nice flight to York. Three aircraft held a total of nine aviation minded members including three fledgling aviators who got the opportunity to try their skills at flying the airplanes at lower altitudes. A short crew car ride to the Anchor Down Crabhouse led to a tremendous meal of fresh seafood including crab cakes and shrimp. Everyone seemed to really enjoy their meals.

The return flight included a few flyovers of the Mushroom Festival in  Kennett Square seeing hundreds of people enjoying themselves. Then it was back to N57 to tackle some tricky winds on runway 24. Overall, it was a great day. I highly recommend more pilots join us on fly outs as they are always fun and educational no matter your skill level.
