procedures during an active VIP TFR. We are also expecting to have a
Secret Service agent as well. Both will be available to answer questions

first hand information. Bring your questions and appetite. EAA 203
will be hosting a pancake breakfast. Please be at hangar #5 (next to Palm
Beach Avionics) by 9 AM.
Next Month: 9:00 AM, 2nd Saturday of every month. Days may vary so watch for the reminder postcard. Continental Breakfast at morning meetings.

We decided to do something different for the December meeting. Instead of the holiday party, we had a holiday meeting with a 'holiday movie morning'. The film was "Flying the Feathered Edge", a documentary about Bob Hoover. The 'enhanced' breakfast was outstanding. See the December/January Newsletter page for details.
On Friday, December 5 at 7:00 pm Chapter 203 celebrated our annual Christmas Party and Dinner at the EAA hangar (11250-5). Great food, terrific conversations and a gift exchange that was a riot.

Our own Rick Johnson and his Avid Magnum Roadable Aircraft.
May 26, 2011 - Rick Johnson built an Avid Magnum and mounted part of a Suzuki motorcycle to the tail. This allows the aircraft to be roadable on the ground and then slides forward on rails under the fuselage for flights.

The first two photos are of the group attending Bill's lecture and discussion on "How To Build Your Own EFIS"! Bill Siegel not only provided information on how to build one of these great displays for your aircraft, he also brought a working model of one that he built for his plane. It included GPS, Moving Map, Flight Planning, and more... all in a Windows format. Contact the club for more information if you want to build one of Bill's Homemade EFIS!
Palm
Beach International Airport Fire Rescue
Station
(Click on any photo to enlarge)
After reviewing many of the functions of the Fire Rescue crew at Palm Beach International, we went outside to witness how a fire is handled when the interior of an aircraft is on fire. A nozzle with a pointed end is used to penetrate the skin of the aircraft allowing the nozzle to remain inside the aircraft. Then the flow of water and foam is sent through the hose to extinguish the flames inside the aircraft without having to actually enter the aircraft. In addition, we got a complete tour of the facilities including many of the trucks and emergency vehicles used by this professional organization.
