Thank you to everyone who attended our monthly chapter gathering on Thursday, April 9! We had a great presentation from Gary Baker, a former Airline Transport Pilot, aircraft homebuilder, EAA Ford Tri-Motor pilot, member of the EAA Chapter Advisory Council and Homebuilt Aircraft Council, and member of EAA Chapter 846 in Ohio. Gary's presentation covered how to handle in-flight emergencies, including emergency checklists and real-world examples of how pilots have dealt with these situations.

Special thanks to the members of the EAA Chapter Advisory Council for attending our gathering, who were in Oshkosh for the annual in-person meeting of the council at EAA headquarters.
