do the Parts Mart next year.

A break for refreshments was followed by a 50/50 drawing won by Brad Smith.
Steve Walters demonstrated some flight software to the group. This software
handled all aspects of planning a flight and had the ability to be used in
the aircraft on a laptop during a flight. He has contacted the makers of
