EAA #167 meeting – April 2016
Meeting started at 7:34 , called to order by president Greg Murry.
Old minutes read and approved with one correction – NAPA did not have a tri-pacer airplane donated
to their organization. the tri-pacer is going to be used in starting a “flying club ” by Todd Walker – as
a less expensive way for those who need to rent an airplane in persecute of their pilot’s license and
for those pilots who want to keep flying in a more economical way.
Treasury Report : Same old – same old Money is the same – no changes
New Business : Discussion on the need for more hangers to open up on the 3rd weekend of each
month. This is a chance for the public to discover and explore our Napa airport. It is organized by
Napa Airport & Pilot Association — NAPA . A fly out is tentatively scheduled for June 11th or
June 18th to ” Mercy Hot Springs ” It seems like a cool place and everyone – well it seemed like
everyone – is for it.

Note : Anyone from the public reading this — our meeting are open to anyone with an interest in
airplanes . You don’t need to have a pilot’s license or even own an airplane just a love of planes.
