WE HOPE YOU ENJOYED THE RECENT VIRTUAL MEETINGS. The virtual golf cart tours are being well received, so we'd like to add a few more this month. If you missed the instructions from previous months, this is what we are looking for: If you are building, restoring, or have just finished a project, please email a few pictures and a brief write-up about your flying machine. Oh, by the way if you have a standard certified aircraft, you know a Cessna, Piper, Beech, Grumman, Cirrus, Enstrom, Agusta or whatever, that you want to showcase, send us pictures and info. If it's an aircraft, we'd like to include it in the tour. It does not have to be currently airworthy. If your aircraft is not in the Creek, even better, we'd like to see it.
Also, if your project has already been featured, please provide an update. Please email pictures and info to: jayjabour1@earthlink.net Please do it as soon as possible so Matt and I can compile all the submissions.

BACKGROUND:
Non-instrument rated pilots who want to improve their proficiency now have an excellent new resource through EAA’s VMC Club.
The VMC Club offers monthly meetings in which pilots can network and share knowledge and experience. The meetings use real-world scenarios to engage members, and allow a free exchange of information that improves awareness and skills. The intent is to create a community of pilots willing to share information, provide recognition, foster communications, promote safety, and build proficiency. All Chapter 288 members, in good standing, are automatically eligible to take part in the FREE VMC and IMC Club program.
All pilots are always welcome. If you have any questions, please contact Craig Cousins at tigerpilot56@gmail.com
IMC CLUB BACKGROUND AND NEXT MEETING
NOTE: THESE IN PERSON MEETINGS ARE CURRENTLY ON HOLD DURING THE PANDEMIC
HOWEVER, WE WILL SOON BE PRESENTING A COMBINED VMC/IMC MEETING USING ZOOM. INSTRUCTIONS FOR THESE FUTURE PRESENTATIONS WILL BE SENT AT A LATER DATE,
BACKGROUND:
The IMC Club’s purpose is to promote instrument flying, proficiency, and safety. The intent is to create a community of pilots willing to share information, provide recognition, foster communications, promote safety, and build proficiency in instrument flying. IMC Club chapters offer monthly meetings in which pilots can network and share knowledge and experiences.
The chapter resources and scenarios are being produced and distributed as a new program by EAA IMC LLC (“EAA IMC”), an Experimental Aircraft Association Inc. subsidiary, under a license from IMC Club International Inc. This will provide resources for new and improved program offerings that will enhance and expand the impact of the IMC concept and to provide continuity, support, direction, and programming,
FUTURE IMC MEETINGS WILL BE DETERMINED BASED ON UPDATES ABOUT THE VIRUS
All instrument pilots are welcome including wannabes and others looking to gain knowledge when the windscreen becomes milky and the vis disappears. We all can learn from the workshop discussions concerning the presented scenarios.
You do not need to be an EAA288 member, but it would be nice and we welcome you to join the EAA. To join; go the the "more" tab at the top of the website and select "PAY DUES". All pilots are always welcome.
