One week ago I asked if our membership could
donate $1700.00 to The National Airmail
Museum over the next 30 days. It’s my pleasure
to announce that chapter 2 has surpassed the
goal of $1700.00 and raised $1985.00 in
member donations, matched by $1700.00 in
chapter funds for a grand total of $3685.00!
The funds for the feasibility study have been
raised, this means that the museum has reached
another important milestone on it’s path to reality.
I’m deeply grateful for our member’s outpouring of
generosity and rapid response to this call. We
allotted 30 days and it didn't even take seven.

Young Eagles
Some of you have already completed the Youth Protection Policy for the coming three years. If you have not
sent your approval email to me, please do so.
As a reminder, three years ago, EAA announced that all Young Eagle pilots and some ground personnel
needed to complete their Youth Protection Policy and Protection training. Many of us completed this in early
2016 and it was good for three years. EAA should send you a reminder email that your expiration date is
approaching. You can either wait until your expiration date to complete the training or complete it when you
receive your email. If you do it prior to your expiration date, it will reset your expiration date to three years
from the date completed. It will not use your original expiration date.
Be sure to check our website for this year’s Young Eagle rally dates. We have only three rallies scheduled at
SMD this year. Hope to see many of you there.
Smooth Air!

Homebuilt Corner - Keeping your Tablet Computer Cool During Flying
Who could have imagined that a powerful computer the size of paper tablet would be the
preferred flying tool for most pilots in the early 21st century? To seasoned and new pilots
alike, flying with a tablet computer is truly amazing. The GPS calculates your position and
affordable software shows you a moving map to your destination.
