EAA288 RECOGNIZES OUR VETERANS SERVICE WITH A QUILT OF VALOR
Quilts of Valor Explained
Florida state coordinator,Terry Burtchell (also a Spruce Creek resident). The Quilts of Valor Foundation began in 2003 with a dream, literally a dream. Founder Catherine Roberts’ son Nat was deployed in Iraq. According to Catherine: The dream was as vivid as real life. I saw a young man sitting on the side of his bed in the middle of the night, hunched over. The permeating feeling was one of utter despair. I could see his war demons clustered around, dragging him down into an emotional gutter. Then, as if viewing a movie, I saw him in the next scene wrapped in a quilt. His whole demeanor changed from one of despair to one of hope and well-being. The quilt had made this dramatic change. The message of my dream was: Quilts = Healing.

OUR FEBRUARY 2025 MEETING POWERPOINTS (Unedited)
IMC CLUB
CHAPTER 288 IMC MEETINGS
Meetings will be announced. They are currently on hold.
This is a great opportunity to sharpen your Instrument flying. There will be spirited discussions led by David Gall, experience ATC controller. Come and add you expertise to the group discussions.
These meetings will help you be a better instrument pilot. There will be scenarios discussed that challenge your understanding of the IMC processes. Your participation in the group discussions will help you and the rest of the participants improve. If your IMC experience is a bit rusty this will remove some of that rust. Please come and make the meeting a great one. We will make you better IMC pilots, and you can help. Just show up with your experiences. We will publish the date of the next meeting as soon as we determine it.
The event is open to all and will focus on Instrument flying issues. There will be opportunities to discuss scenarios that you may encounter and how to handle them. This is also a great opportunity to polish up your understanding of IFR flying.
IMC 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,
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", or click on the link on the HOME PAGE. All pilots are always welcome.
If you have any questions, please contact Barry Dainas at (847) 477-8486 or bdainas@yahoo.com
VMC CLUB INFORMATION
I HAVE AN EMAIL LIST FROM THE LAST MEETING, IF YOU WANT A PERSONAL REMINDER FOR FUTURE MEETINGS PLEASE SEND MY YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS TO PRESIDENT@EAA288.ORG
Next Meeting: The VMC, designed to help our VFR pilots by discussing situations in a group setting is a key part of the chapter program. The next meeting is TBD. The location will be the POA conference room. Bring a friend and be ready to discuss VMC issues.
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.
