Drill this weekend, April 11th. Maintenance will probably show up at oh-dark-thirty and the pilots will probably meander in around 9 or 10. Just make sure you are there, NLT 1000hrs. Saturday weather looks good with only a 10% chance of rain with a low of 51 and a high of 76. HOOAH! Looks like good Stinson weather!!! Get the hint Rudy??? Stinson not Stetson.

1. Tasks to accomplish will be the unloading - inspecting - arranging of the APU's and what ever equipment that arrived from Mike Troop. Not sure if they are at LZ Owens or at our location. Will determine prior to Drill.

2. Continue to work on AC# 517, our target date for all paperwork was the end of March - did we make it?

3. Determine if we can move AC# 352 next store to the Medivac hangar - complete move if possible. Col Webb and/or SSG Anderson was to coordinate with Lifeflight to get permission.

4. John Geddings to install 300W motion detection light on rear hangar door, so long as CSM Thompson doesn't mind replacing his 6 volt 1 watt night light with the new 110 volt 300 watt spotlights..............also install external video security camera.

5. Determine feasibility of cleaning up Link trainer and transporting it to CAE for School Ed Day. It would make a great display inside the WWII hangar. I understand it weighs a ton..............

6. Discuss unlimited opportunities during the Doolittle Reunion and School Ed days. I've only had a hand full of volunteers sign up for work in the CFF Museum store. This message goes out to about 75 members! I NEED HELP! We'll also discuss other opportunities during event.

7. Usual police of the area and a FOD sweep of the flight line.

8. BRING A FRIEND! Recruit some new members.

9. Discuss a new naming convention for our Squadron as it's already taken by an active army unit at Hunter :-(

10. Any luck in location a replacement LAW to replace the one Chris lost?

11. I'll bring tickets for members to purchase for all of the Raiders activities. It sure would be grand if we could get 10 Viper Troop members and spouses to purchase a Banquet ticket and show the crowd the dedication of our members. Quad A is buying a table (maybe two) - I've already committed to buying a ticket with my QB group. If you don't know what a Quiet Birdman is - if I tell you I'd have to kill you. A bunch of us are also going to attend the hangar dance on Saturday night. If you'd rather order online, go to the CFF website or call Anna at the office.

12. Speaking of online. After you read this, please go to the CFF website, click on School Ed days, then click on Colonial Life, and then click on the "Click here for a video." I want to make sure they see a lot of "visitors" in their stats. Gotta keep the sponsors happy. :-)

See you Saturday, somewhere around 9 or 10, as I meander in..............
