Tuesday, August 16th
At the Maintenance Facility, Double Eagle II

Join us – in person!     Visitors Welcome!

5:30 PM — Doors Open
5:45 PM — Potluck
6:30 PM — Program:  DEAA: What’s All the Excitement About? (Jim Kessler, DEAA Chairman)

This month’s Gathering presentation will be about DEAA, the Double Eagle Aviation Academy.  This will be a visual presentation about the aviation academy week hosted by Chapter 179 since 2013. Jim Kessler has served as “DEAA Principal” since 2019, bringing the program to a whole new level.

Bring your questions and suggestions.

POTLUCK! Bring something to share, drinks provided.

Each month, these “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..
