VAA 37 Chapter Meeting
Thursday, June 26 2014 at 7:00p
DeKalb County Airport - Auburn, Indiana
Gate 7 - Hangar A - Vintage Clubhouse
This month's meeting activity is a ride hop, the way it works is like young eagles for members. Those of us who have airplanes show up and give rides to any member who wants to go for a flight. June 26th is the longest day of the year, so there should be plenty of daylight. There are a couple of planes I would like to ride in myself. It is all weather permitting, should be fun.
