AirVenture 2015 is quickly approaching and it’s not too early to start planning your experience. We’re less than four months away from the world’s greatest aviation celebration which will take place July 20-26, 2015. You can learn more about AirVenture on this page on our website. A number of Chapter 569 members have been attending this extraordinary event for many years. Tom Henry usually volunteers his time at the repair barn and you can often times find Dennis Crispin at campground registration in the 101 Woods area in Camp Scholler.
