TWO, yes, you heard 🎧 it right; two Wild Blue Yonder, Big Events upcoming next weekend.
Friday, March 13, 9 am: Club field workday. Wheels up at 9; returning to base upon completion. Mission objectives: sand runway cracks, weather-seal tables, clear weedy vegetation near the runway, and level the runway embankment; workers need only to bring gloves (or a spare dozer👷🏽?) Galley is inop, so BYO an in-flight lunch 🍔 and add some humorous aviation stories to entertain your fellow workers. So, "Roger that tower", please help out if you can.
Saturday, March 14, 10 am: Fun fly news. We are planning an Aeroscout Review, ✈️ a special event featuring tandem flying, synchronized landings, and stunt flying. Wow! This should be something, and a first for SSF pilots. Don't turn and burn, and don't miss this one.

__Friday, April 17, County Runway Maintenance Partnership Day
This Friday, April 17, our club will meet with Douglas County officials at our field for an honorary check presentation. This event will officially confirm our commitment to work with Douglas County to begin runway repairs. Club officers and members need to be present to show our support. Please bring an airplane to display for the photo op. The presentation will begin at 11:00 AM, so please plan to be at our field 20-30 minutes early for setup. This is a collaborative event between Douglas County and the Sierra Sagebrush Flyers, so let’s show our support.
