The August 2025 Chapter Gathering
Tuesday, August 19th
Join us – in person! Visitors Welcome
5:15 PM — “No Host” Dinner at BJ’s Restaurant @ Cottonwood Mall
6:15 PM — Introductions
. . . . . . . . . Program: “New Construction is Easier than Remodeling” with Bob Waters
Bob Waters, past chapter president and long time member acquired a Velocity aircraft two years ago. After considerable inspection and improvements, he took it up for a first flight in April 2025. He will talk about his experience with this airplane which he summarizes with, “you have to check everything when you don’t know what you have”.
Bob got his A&P credentials (Aircraft & Powerplant) in June 2021 and has had plenty of opportunity to apply his skills to this Velocity project.
Where: BJ’s Restaurant and Brewhouse at Cottonwood Mall 10000 Coors Blvd, Albuquerque. Arrive anytime from 5:00 and dinner is not required.
Directions: — North or South bound on Coors Blvd to Cottonwood Mall, 10000 Coors Blvd NW. Take the Cottonwood Loop around to the south end of the parking lot. BJ’s is in a building of its own.
Monthly Chapter Gatherings offer time to network, with programs centered on exchanging experiences and ideas about aviation – airplanes, flying, and flying activities – rather than the chapter business which is addressed in bimonthly Board meetings.
Arrive anytime from 5:00 and dinner is not required.
We hope to see you there!
