EAA Chapter 407 Meeting Minutes for January 2008

The first meeting for 2008 was held in Pocatello on January 19, 2008 at the ISU airport hanger. Over 30 people attended. Natalie Bergevin conducted the business meeting and the officers reported, Dale Cresap reported on the Young Eagles. The Rexburg Young Eagles Flyin was cancelled due to weather, but we are working on the Gooding School For The Deaf And Blind Young Eagles Flyin again this year. More info next month.

The guest speaker, Bob Hoff, gave us a very interesting power point presentation on his flying experiences. Included in his history was a story that there might be a B-10 buried in what is now the Pocatello hospital parking lot.

He had some early photos of Pete Hill Sr. with Walter Beach and a Standard Bi-plane. Bob showed a number of early photos of the Idaho Falls airport, as well as photos of his Stearman Bi-plane from the time he bought it to the time the restoration was finished. He also talked about his Beach D-18, and told us about some of his experiences with delivering Husky aircraft to Alaska. It was a great meeting enjoyed by everyone.
