Speaker: Tim Austen (partner of CAA Member Pat McNamee). Tim and Pat are starting an inter island shuttle service between Hawai‘i and Samoa. The airplanes are new Italian Tecnam Travellers, newly certified eleven passenger twins. Their fleet (four so far, many more to come) of these are stopping at Aurora for ferry tanks to be installed on the flight from Italy while enroute to Samoa. Tim is a very experienced aviation mechanic as well as former cargo and air show pilot, who recently retired from SW Airlines.
Monthly Pancake Breakfast
The EAA-105 Chapter sponsors a monthly pancake breakfast, open to everyone! It’s on the first Saturday of every month at Twin Oaks Airpark.
Begun by the Chapter in 1994 to raise funds for the construction of a hangar, our monthly breakfast has become a local tradition. Folks from all over the Northwest come by car and by air to enjoy our breakfast, walk the flight line, and talk airplanes. When good weather prevails it’s common to have over thirty aircraft fly in including a heavy contingency of RVs.
The menu is simple: scrambled eggs, blueberry pancakes, strips of bacon or breakfast sausage, grits, orange juice, coffee, tea, hot chocolate.
Rain or shine, holidays or not, breakfast will be served the first Saturday of every month. The hangar door to the dining hall opens at 8:00 AM. The line can get noticeably long by 9:00 AM, with many regulars showing up by 7:30 AM to avoid the crowds. The hangar door to the dining hall is usually closed by 10:00 AM, but if you’re in line by then, you’ll be served. No one goes away hungry!
The Presentations committee will the 2nd Thursday of the month, at 5:00 pm, just prior to the Board meeting. This is an open meeting. Any member can attend and offer suggestions. The more involvement the better the presentations.
Similar to Aric‘s previous presentation this is an open mic evening. Please recall some of your previous learning experiences to enlighten your fellow members. We have all had them. Do not be shy. I will give you a pass from Roger‘s HAFAS award. Steve Brenneke

We move along at anywhere from 90 kn to 200 kn per hour and that gives us a whole different perspective of terra firma. Aeronauts (aka Balloonists) certainly see things differently.
Zachary Axel Cummings presents an engaging overview of hot air ballooning, from its humorous historical roots to modern recreational and competitive uses. He details the flight process from both customer and pilot perspectives, emphasizing safety and team coordination. The presentation wraps up with insights on learning to fly and a Q&A session.
