President's Message:

Summer is almost here! Time to celebrate that at in person CO-OPA
Meeting, on thie Third Thursday, June 17th. Let's meet at 6pm in the
Bend Builders Assist hanger 63030 Powell Butte Road on the south west
corner of KBDN.

Bringing our own dinner, and we’ll eat right away before food get
cold. After we eat and chat there are a few things for us to discuss.

As always, many thanks go out to Mike Robertson for letting us use
his space.

Sunny and hot, everywhere, is the forecast for our Fly-out day.
We have recently been to the coast, maybe something high for our
destination? Be sure to come and add your two cents worth.

HB 2434:

Neal White, Past President of the OPA, reminds us to be sure to call
your state representatives NOW Tell them to vote YES on HB2434. The bill
is not a new tax, it merely keeps the existing Oregon Aviation Fuel Tax
at the current level to fund aviation projects in the state of Oregon.
As responsible aviators we want to pay our own way.

Fly-outs():

May 16th Kim, Fred, Don and Gary headed to The Landing on Salem
Airport (SLE) for lunch with the Grumman Gang. Neal White, Past
President of the OPA joined us for lunch. About as smooth a day as
you’ll ever get.

Sadly, the weather on our Normal Fly-out day, the 22nd, was sinky, so
a group of us had a fine breakfast at CJ’s @ the Airport.

Luckily, the NewPort OPA Chapter had their annual meeting the next weekend.
Clam Chowder, Burgers and BBQ Yaquina Bay Oysters.  Don Wilfofng got the last
oysters.  Kim Munich, and the late crew from Bend had to get a crew casr to go
into town for lunch.  On the way back the skydive plane in Madras reported
Extreme Turbulence, but we just got some chop.
