August 19, 2017 Young Eagles Day Report
Saturday, August 19 was EAA180's monthly Young Eagles Day. Thank you to our chefs Lou, Dawna and Clay Smith for providing us a wonderful Pancake Breakfast!
The weather was, again, beautiful with partly cloudy skies. Our pilots reported good flying conditions.
Thank you to our pilots: Ric Romanoff (RV-12), Jim Faix (C-172), Jeff Walston (C-172SP) and Larry Kraujalis (Piper Cherokee). Our fantastic flight crew flew 34 Young Eagles! Thank you to our tireless and dedicated ground personnel: Shirley Mandarin, Michael Foust, Ron Shenkman, Tom Charlton, Brian Ackles, Dave Church, Scott Becker and Chip Miller.
A great job by our Chapter 180 Young Eagles volunteers. You are changing lives!
