2009 is already turning into a very exciting year!!
Did you see the Feb 21st issue of the Tracy Press?! Richard Ortenheim and Skyview Aviation were the cover story! The article is in a link on our blog at the right hand column or go to Tracypress.com and enter Richard's first and last name in the search box. The article talked about how other business's are retracting but not Skyview Aviation. It's a must read and cover story so click on the online version.
Please remember that on Saturday April 25th the Tracy Airport will have its 80th birthday celebration.
There will be lots of food, entertainment, and many vendors at the event so bring the whole family and invite your neighbors for this fun and educational experience!
Thanks to Eric Olsen of Skyview Aviation for creating a Facebook group for the Tracy Airport and Skyview Aviation. It is an open group for all to join and lots of fun networking there too. This is again another media outlet to reach out to our community and spread the word about aviation and the positive impact it has on people and cities.
One of the TAA's current tasks is to educate the community via newspaper, newsletters, and word of mouth of some of the positive and fun events that will be taking place at the Tracy Airport during 2009 and beyond and support the world of aviation.
Remember to get your annual TAA dues in. We are doing it manually now and are looking closer at using paypal and online resources.
Be sure to visit our media links provided in this newsletter and interact with us as well as encourage your friends, family, and neighbors to get involved in local aviation and join us in this fun club of the Tracy Airport Association!
The TAA is planning to make attractive 'T' shirts with the Tracy Airport Association logo embossed and possibly one of our web media sites added too. Don't forget that these shirts will make great gifts.
This Months TAA Challenge:
For Every Member To Attend Our March Meeting!! This will be pot luck style and held at the Tracy Airport at 6 pm March 10th. Contact Conchita of Skyview for an item to bring. Another email will be sent prior to the meeting as a reminder but mark your calendars now for March 10th 2009. See you there for a fun evening. Due to an overlap in other functions we have decided to move our TAA meetings to the second Tuesday of each month.
If anyone would like to donate a free flight to Hospice for Bay Area Children (basically take someone on a short flight for hire and donate the proceeds) contact Mona of Skyview Aviation by calling her at the Tracy Airport office for the complete information. This is The Bay Area's only free standing hospice for children and is in danger of shutting down.
Have a great March and here is a history and educational site about the origin of aviation and the Wright Brothers. The true story may surprise you! Visit http://Tinyurl.com/airhistory
Marty Hamilton for the TAA.
