Hi all.<\/strong> It\u2019s been another busy month, with events three weekends in a row!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fourth of July was at the Weaver\u2019s Field Warbirds event in Othello, Washington. It was lightly attended but a ton of fun. We flew World War II warbirds and turbine jets all weekend. All in attendance had a great time. Here\u2019s a picture:<\/p>\n\n\n

Next was Warbirds over Wenatchee at the Red Apple Flyers field in East Wenatchee, Washington. Again, it was lightly attended, but it was a great time with lots of warbird flying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Wenatchee Red Apple Flyers facility is among the best I\u2019ve seen. Grass and asphalt runways, RV sites, and a clubhouse with restrooms and a shower make it a great field to visit. Here are some pictures:<\/p>\n\n\n

Lastly, I traveled to Muncie, Indiana, for our summer Executive Council meeting. We worked on a bunch of issues, set up the candidates for the election this year, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ted Foster,<\/strong> of the Salem RC Pilots Association in Turner, Oregon, reported on the results of the Winter Build Challenge. He wrote:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The photo is of our overall winner, Robert Crump. We had 16 pilots and 21 aircraft turn out. This is a great involvement and shows building in the Northwest is still a thing!<\/p>\n\n\n

That\u2019s all for<\/strong> this month. I get a break for a few weekends before the next flying events. I\u2019m putting a new jet together, so I\u2019ll update you all next month. Keep building and flying!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
