TAA Meetings

Adding Substance to our Mission:

Supporting The Community And Charities While Educating And Sharing The Fun And Benefits Of Being Involved With Aviation And The TAA.

Please note: Our next BBQ Potluck meeting on your calendar April 8th at 6:00pm with special guest Airport Manager, Rod Buchanan. Three primary topics Rod will cover in addition to our questions are: The financial condition of the Airport and where the money goes and where spent. He’ll also respond to questions on his vision of airport, and of course our upcoming 80th anniversary celebration. We’ve been averaging around 40 members attending these evening social gatherings with special guests with whom we’re building relationships between our aviation community and our Tracy community at large. Come on out and join the Fun, the Challenge and the Fellowship. We’d love to give our Tracy Airport Manager a great crowd eager to present questions for the good of the order. If you’re too shy (smile) to ask a question, write it down and give it to a board member and we’ll ask it for you. Details below. See you there.

Happy Landings,

Don Gutridge

TAA Secretary

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.
