Join us on Tuesday, June 17th for Mark Schreier‘s presentation “A View from the Tower: Some Truly Unbelievable Tales.” Mark has retired from his prior position as an Air Traffic Controller, and now looks back on his 40 years of experience as a FASS Team Leader. But he remembers some hair-raising stories from his experiences that he will discuss in our regular WNCPA general meeting.
The fun begins with a meal at 6:15 in the Lacy Griffin aviation center. The suggested donation for the meal is $5.00–a pretty sweet bargain in these days when it is difficult to find a burger and fries for less than $10.00! If no parking space is available in front of the building, use the spaces in the adjacent maintenance yard (gate 24), in the viewing area down the road, or in the small lot catty-cornered to the Lacy Griffin center.
Coming events: In July, we will have our annual barbecue social. We’ll introduce the 2025 WNCPA Educational Foundation grantees, and hear from officials of the AVL airport authority. There will be lots of time for “hangar flying” with your friends as you savor the BBQ. In August, our speaker will be Andrew Bajaw, one of the pilots from Scenic Helicopter at AVL.
