Meriden Markham muni airport presentation

On Sunday April 9th, 2017, Denise and Teresa piloted the Purple Hearts plane to Meriden Markham municipal airport to recap their race adventure of 2016. Airport manager Constance Castillo graciously arranged for the ladies to speak to the local Experimental Aircraft Association chapter 27 and about 20 members and guests.

The ladies explained the basics of air racing along with some more of the technical details concerning flying in high / hot conditions in unfamiliar airspace along the race route. This EAA chapter is particularly active and not only does regular 'Young Eagle' discovery flights for youngsters, but they also have members assisting a local technical high school to build a flying, glass paneled Vans RV-12 experimental aircraft.
