Wanted to ask everyone to join me in giving a special thank you to the members and leaders of EAA Chapter 231 in Richmond Virginia for helping us stage a Young Eagles Rally at KMFV today. This event could not have happened without their generous assistance. Dwayne Mcculough of the Eastern shore Pilots Association was leading the charge to make this happen at the local level as well, he worked many hours to facilitate this event. Because of all of these great folks 33 Young eagles sprouted wings today and really had a great time. In addition we had 2 new pilots join EAA just to be able to fly in this event. Everyone had a grand time and worked well together for the benefit of the young people who got a taste of aviation today. My thanks to all involved. It was a real blast !!!!!
