Chapter Picnic — Sunday, September 11

Picnic
Our annual Chapter Picnic will be Sunday, September 11 at Shoemaker Field. The address is 11215 W Yankee Hill Rd – Denton, NE (see directions below). Fly-ins, be sure to use CTAF 122.9. Plan to arrive at 4 p.m.; we will eat around 5 p.m.

The picnic will take the place of the September meeting. Entertainment will include Oshkosh stories and pictures. This will be a pot luck affair.

Directions to the hangar at Shoemaker Airfield: From Denton Rd, south on SW 98th St then west on Yankee Hill Rd. Look for trains before crossing the tracks! Turn south at the Shoemaker Airfield sign and follow the long driveway to the “snazzy” hangar. Please be cautious if using a GPS; the address changed last year, and Google Maps incorrectly lists Shoemaker Airfield as being in Lincoln — it is in Denton.
