Fellow Chapter 29 Members and Friends:
Display Day this weekend at HWD
This Saturday (August 10th) should be very nice for our regularly scheduled Display Day. As usual, hours are from 9am to 1pm. Come on out and enjoy some sunlight, aircrafts and good company with fellow chapter members.
Newsletter Help Needed!
Last month, our friends at the HWD Control Tower were kind enough to host a group of us on a tower tour. Our youths had the opportunity to witness live-action radio calls from ATC and ask plenty of questions from our very own and very knowledgeable Air Traffic Controllers. We would like to be able to share more of these experiences with the Chapter, but we need your help!
Monthly, Bimonthly, Quarterly... any contribution would be appreciated. If you have writing skills and availability, please let us know. An occasional article with a few good pictures, might be a good opportunity for a student trying to develop their skills or possibly wanting to earn a few school credits. Your Chapter enjoys having these types of activities and hearing about them. Please reach out if you would like to help.
Young Eagles!
We have several youths interested in taking their first Young Eagle flight at HWD. We are grateful for all of those who responded to the call to volunteer on the ground, however, we need more pilots. PILOTS: if you have an aircraft and would like to fly for Young Eagles, please reach out to our YE Coordinator, Deena Ene at msdeena@protonmail.com or (707) 530-9769.
