Our March Program:
Our guest speaker at the March meeting will be Rick Gage, an EMT in the US Air Force. Rick recently completed his first tour of duty in Iraq, serving as an Emergency Medical Technician aboard C-130s. He is home for a short time on leave, and has turned down other opportunities so he can return to the military and continue to serve his country and fellow servicemen and women.

Rick has an interesting DVD showing what life is like evacuating wounded service personnel and taking care of them aboard the C-130 aircraft. During some of his missions, Rick's plane took hits from enemy fire, but was able to return safely to fly again another day. He is an interesting young man who will totally impress you with his enthusiasm. His name may sound familiar to any of you familiar with the Brockport airport. His dad, also Rick Gage, has an aircraft based there.

This is a program you won't want to miss.

 
 

Donations Now Accepted On-Line Towards
The Building of The
Sport Aviation Center

EAA 44 is undertaking a capital campaign to raise funds to build a Sport Aviation Center for the Rochester Community and our members. We are asking for your support by making a tax-deductible donation to EAA Chapter 44.

If you have any skills, resources or materials that you think might help us, we'd also invite you to CONTACT US about them.

This facility will be a place where members can perform final assembly of their own homebuilt or restored airplanes, can offer free Young Eagle flights to kids, meet new and interesting people, perhaps take a Sport Pilot ground school, learn about General and Sport Aviation, learn about the Experimental Aircraft Association, learn about Rochester's rich aviation history, hear presentations by aviation dignitaries.

You can make a secure donation here using your credit card or PayPal account:

EAA Chapter 44 is a 501(c)3 organization registered with the United States IRS and New York State.

We are dedicated to the promotion of aviation activities, and the preservation of our aviation heritage.
