We had a good turn out for the Air Zoo trip to Kalamazoo.  We started in the old building by the runway then drove over to the new building that was fantastic. We had a young man leading the tour that was very knowledgeable in aircraft history. In the new building there is a 3-D movie on the history of the B-17  Kalamazoo Gal that’s a got to see and you won’t believe the flight simulators you can fly in. I have some Video you can see at the meeting.

 

Riverview Airport wants to have an open house on Saturday June 3,
2006. Details will be provided at the Feb meeting. We will be
looking for volunteers who would like to help show case EAA and
Riverview to other pilots and the public.
