JULY 2 MEETING
COME HEAR HEIDI PORCH

Heidi Porch (Doug Porch's daughter) will give a very thrilling slide presentation and talk about her activities as an air ferry pilot.   What went right and what went wrong, SPLASH!

YOU HAVE GOT TO COME TO THIS MEETING!!

NO FLIGHT SCHOOL FOR VCB

The agreement signed by the Board of Supervisors was not the agreement voted to be presented to them by the Nut Tree Airport Advisory Comittee.  It was passed to them even after the applicant pulled the flight school from the offerings.  The flight school was a major requirement in the RFP last year.  Oh well....we are not offered services at Nut Tree so we have all learned to go elsewhere.  County's loss...

PRESIDENT ALLEN DOING A GREAT JOB

Tom Allen, our new president has now presided over several meetings and is doing a bang up job.  The obvious problem is the lack of commitment by the local flying community.  Membership is off about 50% from last year.  With the Master Plan for the airport coming our way real soon, larger membership would help get a bigger say in the plan.
IF YOU HAVEN'T JOINED OR PAYED YOUR DUES....SHAME ON YOU! 

 

JUNE SOLANO PILOTS ASSOCIATION MEETING

JULY 2, 2009

 PLEASE COME TO OUR MEETINGS AND BRING A FRIEND TO INCREASE OUR RANKS.

 

NTAAC MAKING EFFORT CONCERNING GRAND JURY REPORT

The Nut Tree Airport Advisory Committee recently voted to have the airport staff cut their turn around for minutes by 1/3rd.  The minutes will be produced in draft form and be released within 30 days for public viewing and also Board of Supervisor advisement.  We are trying to bring our actions into compliance with the findings of the Grand Jury Report. 

SOLANO PILOTS MEMBERSHIP GROWTH NECESSARY

We have found our membership weakening during the past 6 months. IIf you are a pilot in Solano County, a user of the counties airports or have an airplane stored at the Nut Tree Airport, YOU SHOULD JOIN....SEE LEFT SIDE BAR TO JOIN..

Nut Tree Airport is the home of Solano Pilot's Association

Welcome to the Solano Pilots Association's official website.  Our goal is to provide support and be a voice for pilots in the Northern California region.  Our base airport is Nut Tree airport (VCB) but serve all pilots of Solano County.  If you are wanting to express your views considering  local G.A. issues, have regular safety meetings,  get in touch with other pilots, share your enthusiasm for flight with them, plan fly-outs and have more fun flying, come join us.
