    Bill David presided over a review and discussion of YouTube aviation videos - how we may perceive the content as factual and reliable yet there may be misinformation in some of them.  Overall, YouTube videos are probably good for aviation but we need to be wary of the source(s).  It was entertaining and there was some good discussion.  As for me, I may have actually learned a few things

    Hangar Use

    2 members, Paul Cooper and Mike Kimball, have asked to host a chapter restoration project of a Taylorcraft L-2 using the chapter hangar. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taylorcraft_L-2 They propose gathering corporate sponsors to support the project.

    • Board must approve the parameters, scope and calendar of the project.
    • The board raised the following questions
      • Who owns the aircraft [before, during and after project]?
      • What happens to the aircraft when the project is complete?
      • Explain how corporate sponsors will participate and benefit.
      • What are Paul and Mike's history of previous projects?
    • Paul and Mike should submit their plans to the board for review.
    • Paul and Mike might consider an organizational meeting to determine interest in the project.


    Plane Fun

    K. Leofler contacted National Guard regarding a fly-over.  They would like more information about the event including how money from the event is used.  A Director suggested inquire about a helicopter [visitors could view up close??]


    Other Business

    • It was suggested that for events which involve food and guests, consider asking guests to sign up for a “Contact” membership.  This may mitigate the need for Health Department inspections required for public food service since participants would be “members”. (B. David)  Note: a short review of Chapter Bylaws does not show “Contact” membership as a valid member type.  Members must also be members of EAA national
    • First Aid Kit should be kept up-to-date.  Dan Weise has previously already volunteered to restock the kit in a seperate personal meeting.  This is understood to be a one-time restocking.
    • We should consider posting a list of things the Chapter needs to do on the web site.  Members could then volunteer to complete items. (B. David)
