Our annual Fly-In was held last Saturday.  Despite high winds and low ceilings most of the day, we had a good turnout and everyone that attended had a good time.

 We were very pleased to welcome a new member at the Fly-In. Many of you know John Carr, because he provides many of our members' FAA medical exams. Dr. Carr is an FAA Medical Examiner and Flight Surgeon.  His practice, Carr Medical Group, PC is located in Loganville. He flies a Taylorcraft BC12D, and is rebuilding a Stinson 108-3.

Since the Fly-In was last weekend, we will not have a Pancake Breakfast this Saturday. Our next Pancake Breakfast and Meeting will be held Saturday, November 15th.

We had a great turnout for our August Pancake Breakfast and Meeting last Saturday. We welcomed new members Ralph and JoEllen Reed. The Reeds are both pilots. Ralph is building an KitFox IV, and JoEllen flies their Twin Comanche.

The flyers for our October 11th Fly-In are being printed and distribution will begin this week.

We have two Fly-Outs planned in September : Morristown, Tennesse on September 13 and to Kennedy Intermnational's Breakfast on September 27th. Additional information is in the Calendar Section.

Our next Pancake Breakfast and Meeting is Saturday, September 20th. All members and Fly-In volunteers please plan to attend, since this will be our last meeting prior to the Fly-In.

ALL MEMBERS -- PLEASE SEND AN E-MAIL HERE AND LET US KNOW IF YOU CAN VOLUNTEER FOR THE FLY-IN.

Happy Flying !

Our next Pancake Breakfast and Meeting will be held Saturday, August 16th.  We will be showing Airventure photos and movies. Also, the August meeting will be a major planning session for our October Fly-In. A FULL breakfast will be served (blueberry pancakes, grits, bacon, sausage, etc.).   Also, we will have a drawing for an Airventure 2008 T-Shirt. All dues-paid members and honorary members are eligible for the drawing.

Let's have a good turnout for this meeting !

The venerable John Popps, EAA 1025's founder and first president

Thanks to all who attended our July 4th Celebration. The weather held, and everyone had a good time. Some of the pictures are below, with the remainder in the Photo Gallery.

Chapter 1025 is located at the Covington Airport in Covington, Georgia.  We hold pancake breakfasts on the 3rd Saturday of every month from 8:30 a.m. - 10:00 a.m. followed by the monthly meeting from 10:00 a.m. - 11:30 p.m.. 

Our monthly meetings consist of members and guests giving demonstrations, informative speeches and sharing experiences in a wide range of aviational topics.   
Most of our members are experienced pilots but we also have some who are just starting their flight training. Covington Airport is a good place to start your training because the airport is neither too small nor too large.  Although it has no tower, it has all of the usual VFR facilities. 

And our chapter has experienced CFI's who can help with training or advice. We are also blessed with two of the best Technical Counselors in the EAA. If they don't have an answer to your technical problem they will find it.  

In addition to our monthly breakfast and meeting we have field trips and fly outs about 4 times a year, hold Young Eagle Rallies, a July 4th Celebration, an annual Christmas Party and various other activities.  All meetings are open to the public and visitors are welcome to attend.

The best thing about our chapter is the friendliness of the members.  Our members are working on projects to build their aircraft from plans and kits, restore production aircraft, and some are researching what they are going to build.  Still others have no intention of building an aircraft themselves, but they like to help other members build.  We have members who are machinists and can make anything.  As you can tell we have a varied membership.  We have retirees, CEOs, engineers, architects, railroad men, etc. and our members will try to help you in any way they can.

And remember - You do not have to fly to join EAA.  You just have to have a love for flying.
See you in the air!
