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!
Oct 28th, 2025 - October Meeting
We had a great meeting in October. EAA Technical Advisor, Cliff Belleau, gave a presentation on firewall forward annual/condition inspections. Cliff gave an informative and hands on demonstration of checking magneto timing and performing compression checks. We also held our monthy Northern Lights gift card giveaway. Thanks to Cliff and Sara for hosting the meeting this month!

Sep 23rd, 2025 - September 2025 Meeting
Tonight’s Chapter Meeting was hosted by Greg Miller at his hangar and was certainly eventful!
We welcomed new member Craig Keppers and Chris Gill presented the new banner the Chapter earned from the EAA as a “Silver” status Chapter.
Tom Lawhorn and Greg Miller were each awarded “First Flight” plaques from the Chapter and then each described their challenges before, and details about their recent First Flights. It was interesting to hear and appreciate the time and effort that goes into an experimental airplane’s First Flight.
Congratulations to both Greg and Tom!

Aug 26th, 2025 - August Meeting to see Anson’s Javron Super Cub project
At our August meeting we had a good turnout as Anson showed us his 4-place Javron Super Cub project. He has a lot of cabin space and some pretty amazing avionics installed! Some of us were impressed with the idea of using a temporary Plexiglas firewall to position all the items on it and going through it. A great-looking plane Anson! Thank you for sharing this with us.
