The CO called the meeting to order at 1:35 pm
Present: Morrell,
Desmon, Smyth, Jackson, Youman (a bare quorum)
Absent: Johnson, K;
Johnson, J; Mehrer, Edwards, Clark, Engbrecht
The following occurred:
Ron started with a
sitrep of the FAA issue with us at McChord; he will continue to work the
situation.
Ron stated that he felt
we had a very good flying season and mentioned some examples.
Dave reported that
KingCo is revisiting their insurance requirements. He thinks Kerry’s
letter may have been the impetus. Desmon, Osgood, Shoemaker, and Edwards
will follow up.
Pete suggested we design
a squadron jacket along the lines of HFM and HFF. He and Brandon will
work.
Ron said he was
impressed with Karyn’s work on the calendar and he is considering the
possibility of having her replacie Al Sauer who has moved out of state. He
will talk with her over the winter.
Dave reminded us to
continue thinking about leadership succession.
Carl Lindberg will
provide a CAP squadron map for Fred to send to members. This to be used in
our outreach “Adopt a Warbird” program. Carl will liaise.
Ron said there was no
movement on the FAST signatory issue as none of the June form-fly
attendees expressed any interest.
Pete will be in touch
with Avian IRT their participation in our scholarship program. Fred has
sent a press release to GAN and will log our program on Washboard.org on
the 17th.
Brandon reported that he
is maintaining contact with the Vets who were part of the B-17 flights.
Paul said the marshaller
ranks are thinning and he is recruiting. Fred will send an email to that
effect.
Ron is putting together
an airshow training and briefing guide. It will be used not only by our
pilots, but also as proof to the FAA that we take our airshow flying
safety seriously.
Dave wondered whether we
could make the $1,000 donation to the Museum at the November meeting. With
so few directors in attendance, further discussion of the issue was
postponed until November.
Dave will talk with Puyallup Expo people in an
attempt to get the same arrangements for us as last year.
There being no further
business, the meeting was adjourned at 3:05 PM.
For the Squadron
Fred C Smyth, Adjutant
