CHAPTER • ANTIQUE AIRPLANE ASSOCIATION • NEWSLETTER • JANUARY 2017

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE We had 38 people at our December 17 meeting. Joel Meanor and his crew will begin work this month on our next Fall Festival of Flight Fly-in October 13 & 14, 2017. With over 225 aircraft expected to fly in, and 15 or more exhibitors, it will be a great event for all. Anyone wish- ing to help, please contact Joel as soon as possible. Those interested in exhibiting their products or services, please contact me. It has been a great pleasure and honor to be your president for the last two years. I will always treasure the opportunity to lead the Texas Antique Airplane Association: a group of men and women that, like me, love everything about flying. I’m still amazed every time I get in a plane. Thanks for all your hard work and support. I am sure you will all support Terry and his staff in the future. Hope to see you at our January meeting in the VIN- TAGE FLIGHT MUSEUM, MEACHUM on January 21 at noon. God bless America! Look for blue skies and keep ‘em fly’n.
