Meeting Minutes.... Bob has a new Andriod smart phone. Every couple of minutes Bob would say "Hey look at this! This phone is amazing!" Then he'd talk into the phone "Text John Davis". An icon would swirl around and then "Hey John, did you get a text message? No? Really, it worked every other time during the day.".
A couple of minutes later... Bob would say "Hey look at this! This phone is amazing!" Then he'd talk into the phone "Text John Davis". An icon would swirl around and then "Hey John, did you get a text message? No? Really, it worked every other time during the day.".

Tuesday June 28th 2011 - 7:00 PM - Chapter Meeting / Picnic / Potluck
Where: Javier De La Vega Park
I've been checking as many soccer schedules as I can locate and I haven't seen anything scheduled at the Javier De La Vega Park for Tuesday, June 28th. I am proposing that we have the June meeting there. I checked with Anchorage Parks & Recreation and it is okay to bring a grill and do the BBQ thing there.
If there's no soccer going on, there will be entertainment in the form of Control Line model aircraft flying before and/or after the meeting.
Javier De La Vega Park is located south west of Minnesota Blvd and International Airport Rd. Head toward the huge Diamond Parking, then take the frontage road east between the parking lot and International Airport Rd. The road takes a right, then a left and the park off to your right. Ball fields, soccer fields and lots of parking.
Gary at Eagle Safety Solutions has again donated an SOS Survival Kit (value=$60.00) to our chapter for the free meeting raffle. All paid-up members who attend are eligible to win it. Please visit Eagle Safety Solutions whenever you're shopping for emergency equipment...and don't forget to thank them for their donations.
Tim Coalwell was the winner of the Survival Kit.
Looking for a volunteer to bring a propane-type grill to the meeting. ( Thanks Lars!) I volunteer to bring propane and some hamburger patties and buns. Please email me if you can help out.
It's a potluck, bring some food, a spouse, a friend...
Hope to see a bunch of you at the meeting!

Sunday July 31st 2011 - Airmen\'s Memorial Dedication
Soon after the tragic C-123 aircraft crash last year in Denali Park that killed Pilot “Wild Bill” Michel, Co-pilot John Eshleman, and Paul Quartly, the wives and many friends of these three Alaskans decided to design and construct an Alaska Airmen’s Memorial in their honor and memory; and to also provide a place so that others may also remember and honor the aviator loved ones in their lives. Through out this past year the group behind this Memorial has made great progress in designing it, and beginning the construction.
The Memorial will be located at Wolf Lake Airport in the Mat-Su Valley. It will be located behind the Wolf Lake Texaco fuel station near the tie downs with immediate access from both Beechcraft Road and the runway. The Memorial will be an outdoor rock garden in the shape of an airplane with a paved and landscaped pathway. It is designed to be open year around for public visitation, with many areas for individuals to purchase plaques to honor their loved ones.
A dedication of the Memorial is planned for Sunday, July 31st at 2:00 pm at the site, followed by the annual Wolf Lake Airport picnic at Steppers Construction. This dedication and picnic will also include an aircraft fly-by and static display.
Although the concept for this Memorial was first envisioned by the wives of these aviators, it is their hope that this will be an enduring memorial to the brave and adventurous aviators from across this great state.

Tuesday November 22nd 2011 - 7:00 PM - Chapter Meeting
Chapter 42 Members,
Attention Metal Project Builders!
Directions to M&M Aviation
Headed northbound on the Glenn Highway get off at North Birchwood Loop. At the stop sign at the top of the off ramp take a left down Birchwood Loop and follow it beyond South Birchwood Loop intersection, beyond the railroad tracks, go around the north end of the airport on Birchwood Spur Rd., past the DOT/Fire Station, past the shooting range to the Birchwood Airport Pilot Briefing shack on the west side of the airport.
At this point you are on the airport and will need to drive past the CAP hangar and follow the hangar rows to the last hangar on your right (the blue hangar) before the T-hangars on the southwest ramp. Look for the EAA Chapter 42 meeting signs and park in front of the hangar.
It usually takes me 45 minutes to get to Birchwood from Dimond Blvd in south Anchorage so plan using plenty of time for the 25 mile trek north.
There are no signs or visible numbers to use so ask questions of others once at the airport, or call Rob Stapleton at 907-230-9425.
