EAA Chapter 569

The next Chapter Breakfast is Saturday, August 16 at the Crete Airport (CEK) from 8:00 a.m. – 10:00 a.m.  Everyone is invited to join us for some great food, plane talk, and camaraderie — all you can eat! Just bring your appetite and a $4 donation!

And those pancakes and omelets don’t cook themselves! We’re always looking for volunteers to help with the breakfast, even if it’s just occasionally. There are a number of things we can use help with, not just cooking. If you’re interested in helping out, please call Andy Lahr at 402-840-5235. Thank you!

EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2014 is taking place from July 28 – August 3. Many of our members make the trip every year and have been for quite some time. 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. Be sure to stop by and visit them! You can click here to go to the AirVenture website for the latest information, daily highlights, and full schedule of events.
