Saturday January 18th, we’ll fly to Siletz Bay State Airport (S45) and have lunch at the Side Door Café. We’ll depart KSLE at 11:00 am and after lunch do some aerial sight-seeing along the coast.

We will be having our annual business meeting on January 29th, at La Margarita Express at 6 pm. During this meeting, we discuss the state of the club, our financial status, hold board member elections, discuss goals for the year, and goals for the following year. This year, the positions of president and treasurer are up for election. We hope to see you all there!

Starting this year, quarterly club meetings will be held with the Board in order to provide members more opportunities to ask questions, make suggestions, raise concerns, and have increased visibility into the status and workings of the club. This is your club, so the Board wants to make sure you are aware of what is happening throughout the year. The quarterly meetings will be held on the 2nd Tuesday of the 2nd month each quarter at 7:00 PM in the flight planning room.

Saturday February 22nd, we’ll fly to Pierce County Airport (KPLU) and take the shuttle to the expo center for a day of free aviation stuff and seminars at the NW Aviation Conference. There is a restaurant on the field (Top Gun Bar & Grill) at KPLU so we can grab a meal there or go to an alternate food spot at Tacoma Narrows Airport (KTIW) or Chehalis-Centralia Airport (KCLS). Departing at 8:00 am freezing levels permitting.

Assuming the Salem monsoon season ends soon, on Saturday February 29th, we’ll fly to Siletz Bay State Airport (S45) and have lunch at the Side Door Café. We’ll depart KSLE at 11:00 am and after lunch do some aerial sight-seeing along the coast.

Winter weather hasn’t cooperated this year as we’re 0 for 2 with Saturday fly outs. This month, plan on Saturday March 28 as the monthly club fly out date. The destination is to be determined based on how the weather evolves as we get closer to the 28th. Either way plan on a 10:00 am departure from KSLE.

Looks like nice weather this week and all the planes as of now are available this Friday afternoon. With that in mind the club fly out for April will be this Friday the 17th. Thinking late Friday afternoon and we can either make a hop-skip-jump (fly to 3-4 destinations) or fly to Sisters or the coast depending on winds. Either way, bring a chair, some food and your 6' ruler.

The strawberries are ripe! Our Annual Club BBQ is now officially this Saturday, June 27th at the hangars. Bring your choice of meat for your family and a salad or main dish to share in the potlock. The club will provide beverages and strawberry shortcake for all. The event will start at 12:00pm, with the grilling starting at 1:00pm. Bring the family, friends, and chairs to enjoy an afternoon at the airport! We look forward to seeing you!

Although not required, please RSVP to Isaac Mosgrove so that we make sure to have enough beverages and strawberry shortcake.

The destination for Saturday is Crescent Lake (5S2). The weather is looking good for the weekend, so assuming no T-storms or high winds, Saturday should be a nice day for a trip across the mountains. We'll depart KSLE at 9:00 am so that we can get an early afternoon departure from 5S2 to beat the heat and possible density altitude. There are a couple of food options near 5S2 so we'll grab a bite and in case they aren't operating bring a snack just in case.

Event canceled due to current COVID-19 restrictions

Joan and Vern have graciously agreed to host the party, starting at 6:00 PM on Saturday, December 12th. Given the current situation, this is a tentative plan that we’ll review nearer the time. In order to have enough food for everyone, each member is asked to bring either a main dish or salad, and a small dessert to share. The club will provide meat and some fixings. We’ll also do a gift exchange, so bring a fun gift in the $10-15 range (aviation gifts are always fun). Bring your family or friends and masks for a fun evening together. Please RSVP to Isaac by December 5th so that we can get the plans finalized and seating appropriately spaced. Feel free to text or email Isaac or Joan if you have questions.
