Safety Seminar: Many turned out to learn the future. The future
in the air for pilots, that is. Straight from ATC we learned what's on the
drawaing board for technology that will be available and/or required for flying
in the future.

Concord Airport Family Day: This was our chance to bring everyone
out to the airport. The airport was open to members and their families and here was
something for everyone. Children enjoyed special activities and built model
gliders that they flew when completed. One of Concord Aviation Services' great flight
instructors gave a review of the rental fleet and
radio panels. It was a fun and relaxing afternoon.

hangar flying, burgers, and dogs. Our intrepid cooking volunteers were

Concord Airport Days: Our big event. There's something for everyone at Concord
Airport Days. The aircraft ranged from ultralight to WWII B-17 and B-24's. Rides
could be had in the bombers, aerobatic planes, gliders, and helicopters. Visitors
were treated to dozens of aircraft to view, demo's of unusual aircraft, tours of the WWII bombers, and a barbecue
lunch. Planes flying in to enjoy the
events became part of the display. Local radio coverage helped bring in
over a thousand participants.

Safety Seminar: A speaker from Boston Center gave us an update and answered all
questions asked. Attendees were eager to interact with Boston Center and they
enjoy meeting pilots in person. The better we understand each other's needs, the
safer we are in the air.
PACE (Pilot and Aircraft Coutesy Evaluation) program: To help us make sure we
are safe in the air, members of the Portland Flight Standards District Office offered
PACE courtesy evaluations to aircraft owners who signed up for reviews. Documents, aircraft,
and flying skills were reviewed. It is a chance to have a review without risk of
action against you or your airplane. All takers were impressed with the review
and learned a lot.
