Hazards and Preventive Measures to Reduce Risks while Flying at Night
Saturday, September 20th, starting at 12:00
During this 2 hour presentation we will be discussing the why night-flying has always been, and continues to be, more dangerous than flying during the day. This is, for the most part, because of a lack of visual cues and our vulnerability as humans to be affected by illusions. Historical accident data indicates that not only does the risk of specific types of accidents increase at night (in the form of dark-night takeoffs, inadvertent VFR-into-IMC, CFIT, black-hole illusion), but also that these accidents are usually fatal. In this presentation, you will gain a thorough understanding of the hazards that cause accidents during night operations and receive practical preventative measures you can immediately apply to keep you safer when the lights go out. Don’t miss this critical and informative presentation for pilots of all skill levels!

We’re a few days away from New Garden’s biggest event of the year: 2025 Festival of Flight Air, Car, & Tractor Show.
A big THANK YOU to the people that have already volunteered! We could use a couple more volunteers for Sunday – any help is appreciated!
For people that have volunteered, the free admission tickets can be picked up Friday afternoon, between 4pm and 6pm at the Chapter Hangar. If you can’t make it, access to the airport will be open until 8 am Saturday morning, you can stop by to pick them up then. Chapter volunteer parking will be in the gravel pit behind the hangar.
NOTE: The airport access road will be closed Saturday morning starting at 8am for the 5k runway race. The road will reopen at the completion of the race. For anyone volunteering for Saturday morning, please ensure that you arrive before 8am.
Here are the volunteer group breakdowns:
Fri 5 PM to 7 PM (clean hangar and set up for breakfast).
Sat 6 AM to 12 Noon ( serve and cook breakfast, clean up, about 10 AM set up Hot Dog stand, sell hot dogs)
Sat 12 Noon to 6 PM ( sell hotdogs)
Sat 6 PM to 11 PM (sell hot dogs, clean up)
Sun 6 AM to 12 Noon (serve and cook breakfast, clean up, set up for hot dogs, sell hot dogs)
Sun12 Noon to 6 PM (sell hot dogs, clean up, move supplies back to the hangar)
One significant perk for our volunteers: they will receive a free airshow pass. That’s a $50 value right there.

Help us make this fundraiser a successful one!
Hopefully everyone is back from Oshkosh and had time to rest for a bit. Now it’s time for your next adventure. We’re only four weeks away from New Garden’s biggest event of the year: 2025 Festival of Flight Air, Car, & Tractor Show.
Returning as a weekend event after a few years of constant TFRs, everyone is expecting a large crowd to be present, and we’re hoping the crowd will be a hungry and thirsty one!
We will be providing a pancake breakfast for both Saturday and Sunday, and will be selling hot dogs on the airshow grounds throughout the event on both days.
The airshow will take place from 2pm to 10pm on Saturday, and from 10am to 5pm on Sunday. Other events (including a 5k race) will take place in the morning before the airshow, which will also draw crowds.
This has the potential to be one of our biggest fundraiser events of the year, but we will definitely need your help for that. With both days (and especially Saturday) being long days, we’re looking at two (or even three) sets of volunteers for each day.
We’ll have to transport supplies Thursday, Friday and maybe even Saturday (Aug 21-23). If you have a pick-up truck or a large van we could definitely use your help.
We’ll plan on doing most of the set-up work on Friday (Aug 22nd) afternoon, and we’ll need a few volunteers for that.
A pancake breakfast will be served to airshow participants and members of the public on both days, and then we’ll be serving hot dogs at the airshow in the afternoon and evening on Saturday and morning and afternoon on Sunday. We’re hoping to have enough volunteers to split the hot dog sales teams into two groups for each day.
At the end of the day on Sunday, we’ll need a few volunteers to break down and store all the pancake breakfast and hot dog equipment/tables/canopies.
Here are the volunteer group breakdowns:
Fri 5 PM to 7 PM (clean hangar and set up for breakfast).
Sat 6 AM to 12 Noon ( serve and cook breakfast, clean up, about 10 AM set up Hot Dog stand, sell hot dogs)
Sat 12 Noon to 6 PM ( sell hotdogs)
Sat 6 PM to 11 PM (sell hot dogs, clean up)
Sun 6 AM to 12 Noon (serve and cook breakfast, clean up, set up for hot dogs, sell hot dogs)
Sun12 Noon to 6 PM (sell hot dogs, clean up, move supplies back to the hangar)
As you can see, it’s not a small endeavor. We’ll need all the help we can get, but the more people we have, the easier it will be for all of us.
One significant perk for our volunteers: they will receive a free airshow pass. That’s a $50 value right there.
