The International Cessna 170 Association

Jack Pelton and the EAA board just announced the cancellation of Airventure. Sad day. I will miss seeing all of my once a year friends! Here is to a better 2021, stay healthy and safe my friends.

Sad news indeed. I’ve never been a big fan of crowds or air shows but managed to enjoy Oshkosh the few times I attended. I was kind of looking forward this summer to removing Wisconsin from the list of 13 states I haven’t yet flown 98C to, but thinkIng about it, I guess there doesn’t really need to be an AirVenture to check off that item...

In the meantime, our governor hasn’t yet figured out how to prohibit aviation, so many of us here at 45G are staying current, though our list of flyout destinations is down to two airport restaurants doing takeout. One is open only during the week, and the other is open only weekends, so weather remains the primary reason for non flying days. An acquaintance from another airport did get a couple of touch and gos at Detroit Metro Airport during a recent early afternoon lull. https://youtu.be/FsQc5Wbjw3U

If anyone is looking for somewhere to go in August, the Brighton Airport Association is still planning on having its annual fly in on August 8. https://drive.google.com/file/d/18USuiQ ... p50Y2/view

I’ll have to put 8/8 on our calendar! Your gaggle is welcome at C77 as well. We continue to work on the Jenny, while maintaining social distancing of course. Hope you and Karen are doing well, and hopefully our paths shall cross this summer.

Steve, I'm planning a trip to your area this summer if things open up a bit. I'm looking forward to seeing Poplar Grove in summertime glory.

Sounds great Dave, looking forward to it.
