Great Rocky Mountain Canard Rendezvous (June 3,4,5, 2011)

Freeflight Composites, LLC announces that on Friday, Saturday and Sunday June 3-4-5 they will hold an open house and fly-in at their facility in Falcon, Colorado, on Meadowlake Airport (KFLY).  This will be an inaugural event.   All builders, flyers and interested folks including families are welcome to attend.   Camping with your airplane or Recreational Vehicle or tent is encouraged with bathroom and shower available. 

A ride to Colorado Springs lodging will be provided for those not wishing to camp.  Anyone arriving Friday and staying the night will be treated to an evening of food and attitude adjustment at Freeflight's and Burrall and Joyce’s home/ hanger.  Saturday morning there will be a fly-out breakfast to Salida Colorado (KANK), 30 minutes by EZ west of KFLY.

Anyone who wishes to participate should plan for a 9am arrival at Salida.  Ground transportation provided.  For those not coming to the fly-in on Friday, this would be a great place to meet up with the group and after breakfast, fly to KFLY for the festivities there.

Work Party - Saturday, April 30th - We got some great work done in the hangar last month - new shelving in the kitchen and storage room and a wall planning chart. Although we did not get everything done, we made some great progress. We appreciated the help from AEFCO students, Freddy Ford, Hunter Davis, Isaak Munsch and Isaak's dad, Jeff. Thanks to all who pitched in.

Back row: Tony Nesse, Jim Stanberry and Isaak Munsch, Bob Hall Front row: Bill clothier, Vann Norred, Freddy Ford, Hunter Davis

	Jeff (right) and Isaak (left) Munsch along with Brian Esch (center) layout shelves for the storage room. Below Jim Geil, Brian Esch, Richard Martin and Bob Hall layout and install shelving in the kitchen.   Hope Esther loves it!

It's not shown, but Bob Hall and Brian Esch even got a start on painting over the green paid on the walls in the kitchen. We're not done but it's so much better. Thank you all for the helping hands.

Pilot's Lounge -

	Everything has been moved out of the front room downstairs with the exception of the desk. Bill Clothier and Vann Norred affixed a planning chart to the wall upstairs and will do similar downstairs. We'll start making plans to set up the Pilot's Lounge in the next few months.

Event Display - You will remember that wood airplane that's been in the hangar and we frequently have to move out of the way? We want to turn that into a display that we can set out for the YE rallies and take to the air show. We need to do some restoration and painting. Let's put "EAA Chapter 72 - Young Eagles" on one side of the fuselage and "Aviation Education Foundation" on the other.

	Some of you have already signed up to work on that and sign up sheets will be available at the next meeting.
	Update: We're looking for someone to take the lead on this project. If you are interested, please email.
