Head on over to the Bend Builders Assist hanger, 63030 Powell Butte Road, on the south west corner of KBDN, at 6pm for our monthly meeting. Bring your own dinner, and we’ll eat right away before food get cold. As always, many thanks go out to Mike Robertson, and Mike Wissing, for letting us use their space. 89th Annual Jordan Dinner: The Dinner, including the 18th Annual Cruise-in and Fly-in, will be on September 24th at Gillette Field, OR51. Events start at 10:30 am, dinner will be served until they run out, or 2pm. A short flight to a nicely groomed dirt runway. Always a fun time. Calendar: 21 September – Monthly Meeting 23 September – Monthly Fly-out 24 September – Jordan Dinner/Fly-in OR51 19 October – Monthly Meeting 21 October – Monthly Fly-out 16 November – Monthly Meeting 18 November – Monthly Fly-out Fly-out: We rescheduled our August Fly-out day to be on the WAAAM Fly-in day. Fred Berardo flew in and Gary Miller drove in. Several other non-CO-OPA Bendites also flew in and camped. The weather was perfect, the Ford Trimotor sounded great as it fly by, the food was good, and of course there were a lot of really neat airplanes to look at.
