We were lucky enough to have five beautiful vintage tailwheel aircrafts displayed, a Pietenpol Air Camper, two Aeronca Chiefs, an Aeronca Champ, and a Cessna 140A. Looking forward to many exciting events in March!

Hello all! We have a very exciting chapter event coming next Saturday:

EAA Chapter 1279
March Air Reserve Base Air Traffic/Airspace Safety Briefing

EAA Chapter 1279 is hosting a safety briefing by the March ARB air traffic controllers. The March RAPCON has seen significant growth in aircraft flying near French Valley Airport who are not talking to ATC. This has resulted in military and air carrier aircraft being vectored to avoid the GA aircraft. Join us for a briefing where pilots and ATC staff can learn how to help each other.

Location:
French Valley Airport (F70), Hangar B1
37600 Sky Canyon Drive
Murrieta, CA 92563

Meet Olen! He is building a Berkute, which derived from the Long East. However, the Berkute has a larger engine, an IO540, and also all three wheels retract. It can fly from LA to Houston nonstop and will cruise at about 240 knts. There were only about 65 manufactured and 20-30 flying! Thank you for taking the time to share your project with the chapter Olen!
