Special thanks to Patty and Jeff Plantz for buying donuts.

It was a great day to change kids minds in a positive way one flight at a time✈️

The Skunkworks had a wonderful guest presenter on April 26th. Shaun Walker gave a demo of TIG welding to 21 attendees, as well as a bit of hands-on experience for some of our youth attendees.

Shaun is a welding instructor at Madison College, and has taught workshops at EAA in Oshkosh. It was a very fun and informative afternoon. We hope to have Shaun back another time.

We had a nice sized group of 21 attendees.

Drones, Drones Drones!

Just a reminder that this coming Thursday evening we have two speakers for our monthly chapter gathering: Pete Aarsvold who plans to share some instructor insights /opinions regarding things pilots should and shouldn’t be doing when flying at Morey Field.

In addition will will also hear from Jeramy Williams (American Drone), a drone expert who has spoken in person to the National Transportation Safety Board in Washington DC. American Drone Company includes all things related to commercial drone activities specializing in ways to meet agricultural needs including the application of fertilizers, herbicides and pesticides.

Who wouldn't want to fly this big boy?
