LIVE THE DREAM!
INTERNATIONAL LEARN TO FLY DAY
ELYRIA, OHIO ON MAY 19th
Experimental
Aircraft Association (EAA) Chapter 1252 is organizing an International Learn to
Fly Day on Armed Forces Day, May 19th, at the Lorain County Regional
Airport from 9am to 4pm. This event is
FREE and open to the public. Last year’s
event drew almost 2000 people and this year we are planning for even more. We also flew over 100 Young Eagles last year.
EAA
Chapter 1252 members will be giving FREE “Young Eagles” airplane rides in their
own aircraft for children between the ages of 8-17. The B-25 bomber “Yankee Warrior”, pictured
above, will be at the event all day selling rides, which is sure to draw a
crowd! Also selling rides will be Lorain
County’s very own Commemorative Air Forces’ 1941 SNJ Naval Trainer. Other Aircraft on display will include a
United Express EMB-145 Regional Jet and a C-27 from the 179th Air
Wing from Mansfield, Ohio.
Our
Media day is Friday May 18th at the Cleveland Wing of the
Commemorative Air Force on the field. All
media are invited! 2012 Media Day theme
is “The Unwanted Soldier”, a salute to our local Vietnam Veterans and our
chance to welcome them home 38 years later.
The day will feature speakers, special video presentations, food and
beverages and a Bike Rally. All area
veterans are invited to attend this event and one lucky Vietnam Veteran will
win a ride in “Yankee Warrior”!
International
Learn to Fly Day will focus on learning how to fly. There will be flight instructors available
for introductory rides, displays of various aircraft, vendors promoting their
goods and services, live entertainment from FenderJet, aviation related forums
and access to local pilots for questions and answers, all in a fun and family
friendly atmosphere!
There
will be a live Radio Broadcast from WOBL and WDLW, Lorain County’s local radio
station. WOBL and WDLW will also be
hosting a contest to win a ride in the B-25.
Listen to WOBL and WDLW for more details.
For
more information go to www.eaa1252.org or
visit EAA Chapter 1252 on Facebook.
COME SEE HOW
FUN AND AFFORDABLE LEARNING TO FLY CAN BE!

Thank you for another very successful EAA Chapter 1252 Chili Cook Off! Last year we 17 Chili's a no appetizers. This year only four people brought chilis, but man did we have the appetizers! FIrst Place 2012 goes to Lon Elder, second to Caroline Wilson and Third to Ted Green. George Borgione gets an honorable mention. The olives might have thrown off the voting!
