We'll have the web links on the EAA292 site updated shortly, but I thought I'd give everyone an update on times and events.
For those of you not aware, the "Homecoming" event will be held at Independence Airpark this year (7S5) and will kick off with a BBQ on Friday the 17th at 5PM-7PM outside the Starduster Restaurant on the field. Amanda Richards will be on hand to provide musical entertainment.
There will be a Saturday morning pancake and egg feed at the EAA 292 hangar, which will be put on by the chapter volunteers at EAA292. This event will be from 8 until about 11AM.
Many aircraft builders in the airpark will have their hangars open and visitors are encouraged to walk the taxiways, meet new people and talk airplanes.
The Saturday night banquet will be at the Independence Elks Lodge on the banks of the Willamette River. The Elks will provide a bus for transportation for those who would like it. It's about a 10-15 minute walk through the neighborhoods to get to the Elks Lodge from the airport.
We are requesting that all people who plan to attend the Friday nite BBQ send a note to us so we have some estimation of the amount of food to prepare.
Many people in the airpark have signed up to accept overnight visitors in spare bedrooms, and there are plenty of rooms left at this point, so let us hear from you. Besides being a no-cost way to stay, this is a great way to meet people who have the same addictions you do.
This will be a people oriented event, not a fund raiser or commercial event...so if you want to look at lots of RV's, maybe get a ride, meet a lot of veteran RV builders...this will be a great place to be. Willamette Valley weather has been very mild in the last few weeks, with evening temperatures in the 50's and daytime highs in the upper 70's to mid 80's.
We look forward to seeing you here!
