Member appreciation day is postponed until further notice. 7. Rick said CFII Ryan Story is moving to Oregon as he’s taken an aeronautical engineering job with Vans Aircraft.

Everyone who flies it, please read the email and comply. 2. Discussion was held re currency requirements to fly the Chief.

TREASURERS REPORT: Randy says it is all about the same except the credit card bills are climbing with the parts for the overhaul on 7717U. All bills are current. We have a good balance in the bank for this time of year. AIRPLANES: Rick reported on airplanes. N84455 went to Rockford today to have the radio put back in and tested. It worked great on the way back. We are working on some issues with the Ercoupe and hope to have it back online soon. The Chief is available to fly now. The insurance is back on so let's put some time on it. All of the parts are back and it is just assembly before N7717U is back. Hopefully by the time we have great weather we have five airplanes back to flying. OLD and NEW BUSINESS: 1. Indian Hills Community College is planning to use the Arrow again for their flight training program, so this will help with putting some flight time on the Arrow. Welcome back IHCC! 2. We have planned a member appreciation day for those members who have supported the club but are not able or haven't been nearby to take advantage of actually flying. We need volunteers to help plan the event and come up with some ideas for how to honor and appreciate those members. There are around 50 or more members who pay social dues but are not active flyers. Please help and come support them on April 25. 3. Mark reports that four students are in the ground school class that started on Monday. He thinks there might be a couple more as well.

This was followed by a brief discussion. Andy moved with second by Jim that the minutes be accepted. Vote taken; Motion carried. TREASURERS REPORT: Rick reported that Randy was on vacation and would return with a full report for the next meeting. General report is that we are doing well for this time of year.

The airplane will go to Rockford on the 11th of March for re-installation and testing. The Arrow is due for Transponder Recertification on March 11th. There is so much interest is in the insurance for the Chief and Ercoupe that the Chief will come back under insurance this weekend and be available for scheduling. Mike is going over it making sure it is ready to go. The Ercoupe will have to wait for a check on a reported AD review and an apparent flutter issue reported by a member. Chris is going to try to get the ADSB unit installed prior to the review of the issue.

He quickly reviewed the rates published earlier today. Chris Lenz moved with second by Jim Beeghly that we adjourn. Vote taken; Motion carried. Adjourned at 6:50 p.m. |
