September 2023 – Monthly Meeting Recap

Attendance was approximately 36 people.

Frank Randall provided a recap of the State Fair contest.

Michael Howell spoke about the Cavalcade of Wings display and model donations.

John Tate talked about the upcoming club election and encouraged members who had not participated on the E-Board, and members who might be relatively new to the club, to stand for election and give the Board a try if they had new ideas and wanted to make changes.

Mr. Harvey Chace, Col, USAF (ret.) gave a fantastic PowerPoint presentation on the history and development of the B-26, providing many new details that even WWII airplane enthusiasts didn’t know, like the demand for speed driving the clean design and laminar flow wing, the critical airspeed requirements for takeoff and landing and the particular danger with this aircraft of losing an engine.  To thank him, John Tate presented him with B-26 model on behalf of the club.
