Saturday, August 23rd
at 1:00 PM is when we will be holding our annual Fly-in/Pig-out at
Fisher Field in Middleboro. The event will include a display of
member's aircraft, a sumptuous feast and aviation related
raffle, not to mention a great opportunity to socialize with folks
interested in flying and building experimental aircraft. This is a
great opportunity to display an aircraft a member may have for
sale. There is plenty of parking and weather permitting the
opportunity to fly in to the event. The cost is $20.00 per person
with advance reservation and ticket payment required. All are
invited. For more information contact Chapter member Marty Himmelfarb
at (508) 759-7896 or at mhimmelfarb@comcast.net.
Thanks
to Larry Bean for his pictures of the 2007 Fly-in, which have moved here.
