Mar 25th, 2026 - March Meeting
Ed Kornfield shared the story of the Commemorative Air Force Wing's benefactor, Col. Mike Hunt, who donated his two WWII trainers to start the Alaskan Wing, and whose legacy and warm, charming character inspired all who knew him. The tour included the Wing's 1943 AT-6D Texan,1952 Harvard Mk IV (T-6G) and a 1946 L-13 Dragon Fly.
Ed, you did an awesome job! Thanks to Jeff Sever, AJ Bartel, and Cinimin Alsworth—all from the Wing—for great support and convos!

Dec 4th, 2025 - EAA 42 Scholarship Check to Airmen
Treasurer Ed White presented a $2,000 scholarship check from EAA Chapter 42 to the Alaska Airmen's Association. This, our 2nd annual donation, is a joyful moment. It is a point of celebration for our Chapter, which has resolved to help aspiring pilots and mechanics attain their ratings and certifications, for years to come.
This donation will be matched--dollar for dollar--by the Alaska Airmen's Association and presented to two vetted and worthy scholarship applicants at the Great Alaska Aviation Gathering in Palmer on the first Sunday of May. The Airmen match scholarship contributions up to $1,250 per scholarship, with a goal of bringing each award to $2,500. Based on this donation, we will create two EAA Chapter 42–dedicated scholarships of $2,000 each, with the Airmen contributing $1,000 to each scholarship as the matching portion.
Pictured with Ed, from left to right, are: Andre Bergerson (Operations Asst), Ayesha Wise (Outreach and Marketing), and Wella Jay (Member Services). These three wonderful Airmen's staff received our check on behalf on Executive Director Priscilla Ribic.
Thank you Chuck Hosack and other donors for making this generous contribution possible!
