Cadets now have 35 members. The drill team is going to Portland the
last week of May for the Regional Drill Team Competition.
Marv Adams presented the Safety Spiel on moving aircraft on the ground
safely. Make sure a spotter helps. Especially on the wing tips. This can
prevent wing tip damage from impacting a vehicle, wall, or other
aircraft. The ramp is crowded, so be very careful. Also be careful
opening the hanger door.
Remember May 18 is Squadron Cleanup.
Also remember 5^th Avenue Construction starts soon. Access to and
parking around the squadron will change, so stay alert. Tell new members
how to access the squadron building.
