· Speaker at the last meeting on November 21st:
Lt Col Edward H. (Ned) Linch III spoke to us about his experiences during a tour of duty in Iraq. This was very timely considering Congress’s vacillation on continuing the struggle in Iraq. You may recall that Col Linch spoke to us at the May 16th meeting. He covered “See and Avoid” which was very interesting and timely. .

FUTURE FLY-IN
CONSIDERATION
USS Midway Aircraft Carrier & Museum –
This Fly-In has been cancelled twice due to weather
conditions, and will be reviewed for a future Fly-In, probably in the Spring of
2008. This destination ranked 1st
on a survey of members. Member Jim Theobald was
based on the Midway and has offered to guide our group. He said he probably knows more than they tell
you on the tap
