October VMC/IMC meeting

One of our favorite events we do! ✈️🍽️

Our VMC/IMC nights are a great chance to continue our aviation education, learn something new, share ideas, and enjoy a meal together with fellow pilots and aviation friends.

We love getting together as a chapter, growing our knowledge, and building the friendships that make our aviation community so special. ❤️

Thanks to everyone who came out and made another great night happen! We’ll see you at the next one!
