| The Mansfield
Avaition Club held its fall Young Eagle's Day on
Saturday, May 5 2001. The event started at 10:00
and lasted until after noon. The weather for the
event was nice. Rain was forecast but never came. Ten
airplanes flown by MAC pilots gave rides to 130
children. By the looks of things, everyone
involved had a wonderful time.
We all at MAC want to extend a warm thank-you
to the following groups, whose help was surely
needed:
+ FAA personnel, for smoothly
and professionally keeping MAC airplanes, as well
as many non-event airplanes, separated.
+ Richland Aviation (Brad and
Carolyn Pocock) for the fuel discount and for
helping serve food to the eagles after their
ride.
+ The Flying Turtle Restaurant,
(Sam and Sheila) for providing food and soft
drinks for the eagles.
+ Shirley Shindler, for
baking cookies for the eagles.
+ EAA Chapter 148 (Ashland)
for their pilot and ground handler help.

Gary, who was a handler during the event. Click
