November Meeting -
Pelion Airport - 11/15/2015
Our last
chapter meeting of 2015 was held at Pelion Airport (6J0) on Sunday,
November 15th. Approximately 20
members met at Pelion Airport and then traveled to Hansens
restaurant in Pelion for lunch from 12:00 noon until 2:00pm. Our
chapter meeting started a little after 2:00pm. Chapter
president, Eddie Price, mentioned that most of the recent order of
chapter caps have already either been spoken for or sold. However,
there seemed not to be a pressing need for more caps at this time. We then had a
lively pro/con discussion on creating a chapter page on Facebook,
but no firm conclusion was reached, so the decision will be
postponed until next year under new leadership. Eddie also spoke
about the trials and tribulations of chapter member, Richard Miranda. We all wish the
best for Richard in the future. The group
applauded Eddie for the fine job he has done as president this past
year, but he has always indicated that he does not wish to serve
another year as president.
We then elected new 2016 officers as
follows: President: Russell Nance; Vice-President: Leonard Self;
Secretary: Kevin Wallace; and Treasurer: Leon Strock.
Congratulations 2016 officers! We also elected 4 directors: Larry
Maner, Eddie Price, Don Schmotzer, and Randy Berry. Also, continuing
to serve in their present capacities for 2016 are:
Safety Advisor: Don Schmotzer; Webmaster: Randy Berry; and
Photographer: Eddie Price. Additional positions and appointments may
be made next year by the 2016 president. Click the

Price.
This being our last meeting of 2015, we wish you all a
Happy Thanksgiving, Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year. See you
next year!

Our EAA
Chapter 1467 Fall Fly-in was held at Gilbert Airpark (SC45) on
October 24th, 2015. The weather was absolutely perfect at the
airpark with few clouds, temperatures in the mid-70s, and a light
wind almost directly down runway 9. However, one pilot reported a
ceiling of less than 500' less than 20 miles to our east, which included CAE and CUB. Several other
aviators reported low ceilings and/or IFR conditions at other
airports across the state as well, which we believe affected our attendance
somewhat. Still, we had a great relaxed
fly-in, a good crowd of perhaps 70-80 attendees, around 12-15 aircraft
at various times, and a great meal. Amazingly, one pilot flew his Rotax 912 powered trike
approximately 110 nautical miles from Jackson County Airport (19A)
north of Atlanta, GA. Ron Angerman cooked
up two giant pans of spaghetti sauce and noodles with some help
from the ladies at GIA,
who also assisted attendees with their needs. We also enjoyed BBQ,
hamburgers, hotdogs, tossed salad, various other salads and
casseroles, vegetables, iced tea, soft drinks, and many delicious desserts. Aviation photos showed on a screen in the
background. We held a TTF chapter meeting from approximately 2:00 -
2:30pm attended by chapter members, as well as those guests who
remained in attendance after the meal. TTF members may view the
minutes from that meeting in our MEMBERS ONLY area. Our thanks to Ron Angerman
for the use of his great
hangar, our TTF members, all the folks at Gilbert Airpark for their
hospitality, all who attended, and those who helped out. For

September Meeting -
Whiteplains Airpark - 9/20/2015
Our
September meeting was held in the hangar of Jim and Susan Fender's
home at Whiteplains Airpark near Gilbert, SC on 9/20/2015. Quite a few of our members flew
in, and a number of Whiteplains residents (several of them chapter
members as well) attended. A
lunch of hamburgers, hotdogs, baked beans, potato salad, chips, various other
dishes, and several desserts was provided by Jim, Susan and other
residents from Whiteplains. Then, former chapter president of EAA Chapter
613 in Vermont and current TTF chapter member, Tony Speranza, gave us a presentation on the
activities of the chapter there. Then, Eddie
discussed August minutes, our current financial status (which is
well in the black), getting more chapter caps, our Young Eagles
event back in late June, and various other business items. We were
pleased that two new members, Dennis Perry (#50) and Sandy Wheat
(#51), joined the chapter this month as well. Our next chapter meeting will
also be our chapter
sponsored fall fly-in at Gilbert Airpark on 10/24/15 (alternate date of 10/31/15). Thanks to Jim
and Susan for hosting the
event and to all the great residents at Whiteplains for making us feel welcome there. For photos of the event
