Website http://co-opa.com June 2016, Vol. 16, Issue 6 President's Message: Hmm, the forecast for when the wet weather leaves us for our Saturday Fly-out just keeps slipping later into Saturday. As I write this, weather.gov now says 11am. Even if we took off late, we’d have to worry about which way the rain went, so we could go the other way. Oh, and wind gusts to 25 mph. Clearly a topic for discussion at our meeting. Come discuss the weather, and other topics, at our June meeting. The Third Thursday, on June 16th. Head in out of the cold into the Professional Air waiting room in the KBDN Flight Services Building. Check in around around 6pm. Delight to our potluck at 6:30pm, and the usual 'formal' meeting at 7pm. Don’t stress on potential loss of another Fly-out. The Annual OPA convention is in Hood River on the 25th. The long range forecast for that is looking good. Our old friend Mary Schu is the headliner. More information an the convention on page 2. Calendar: 16 June – Monthly Meeting 18 June – Monthly Fly-out 25 June – OPA Convention @ WAAAM 21 July – Monthly Meeting 23 July – Monthly Fly-out 21 August – Monthly Meeting 23 August – Monthly Fly-out 26-27 August – Airshow of the Cascaded (S33) May Fly-out: Well, actually, Drive-Out. May was a nice flying month, just not on our Fly-Out day. We changed plans and headed to the Black Bear Diner. Breakfast was grand, and the company the best. My Inbox: Redmond Municipal Airport (KRDM) reopened runway 11-29 in May. Well, except for the air tanker thing closing them for a few hours. Runway 05-23 will remain closed for construction. But never take my word for it, check NOTAMs! Prineville Airport (S39) will host a Fathers Day breakfast on June 18 from 8am to 11am. Their annual Airport Day will be on July 30, from 8am to 2pm.
