Since he'll be spending at least $5,000 to update it (concrete, sealing to keep weather and birds out, fixing leaks, etc.) and Green Castle is the major beneficiary in Tim's will, Mike suggested the fee charged for hangar rent be waived.

Randy, Tim, Leeroy, and maybe Mike will go to Cleveland, tear it down, and truck it back to Green Castle. Tim and Mike think we should have an antique fly-in as we have six antique airplanes hangared at Green Castle. We might do it over Memorial Day when all of our flags along the road are on beautiful display. We'd have food, etc. and would practice social distancing as much as possible.

We will have bills coming for the Arrow annual but hopefully they will be offset by Indian Hills' usage. 2. Dean and Mike reported on airplanes. The Arrow is back and Chris took 84455 down for its annual, so we have 7717U and the Arrow flying.
