By the way, we are flying back in the West End – please be careful not to hit the overhead displays. 

We are asking all volunteers to wear black, if possible.

Flyers:  Andrew Albosta, Dave Ashworth, Pauly Berard, Jeff Burka, Paul Dugard, Dawn Haworth, Jared Haworth, Tom Humphrey, Jeff King, Paul (the Other Paul) LaMasters, Richard Mervine, and Scotty Weider.  That’s twelve flyers this year – unfortunately Mike Mosman busted-up his elbow, so he won’t be flying this year or will be flying crooked as our 13th!

Presenters:  Mearl Balmer (and Adrianne??), Harold Ames and Joyce King.

A warm congratulations to the Albostas – they just welcomed a new sister Eleanor, for Charlotte!

Thanks so much for volunteering,

Barbara

I flew this past Sunday/weekend in heavy fog and a light rain (almost couldn't run the windshield wipers) on both 50# and 90# LPG.  I found the lines would bind-up between the tops and bottoms on each side.  Would an application of silicone prevent this?

It was kind of a hassle trying to keep the lines from binding, and neither set is high mileage (yet!)
