From the President

 

Warrenton-Fauquier Airport has invited us to conduct another Young Eagles Rally at their facility. Manager Dave Huss has graciously offered use of the terminal and ramp which are a natural fit for our operation. The terminal provides plenty of room for our registration area. The patio and gated fence make for a perfectly safe observation and staging area. We are planning to conduct our April Young Eagles rally on April 20 at HWY from 12:00 Noon to 4:00 PM. We are providing literature to the local schools explaining our Young Eagles program. Parents of Fauquier School kids aged 8 to 17 will access the usual yeday.org system for registration. This will allow us to introduce these kids to our slice of general aviation.

We had a very successful, safe and fun rally at Warrenton last September. Let’s do that again. Please consider helping out as a volunteer for the April 20 Young Eagles Rally at Warrenton airport. We would like to make this a big rally. Our cancelled event for March had over 60 kids registered. We would like to see a similar large number of registered kids at HWY. The more volunteers we have, the more kids we can allow to register. Pilots: no tower, no SFRA, no flight plan! We need a walker for each aircraft, a marshaller and the usual admin/ photographer positions. If you are already a regular Young Eagles ground or pilot volunteer, you will get the usual email from yeday.org asking you to volunteer. If you are not yet a Young Eagles ground or pilot volunteer, please go to yeday.org with your EAA number and click on “Sign-up” to set up your volunteer record.

 

Blue Skies,

Bob
