There’s a certain Nieuport 28 on the cover of this month’s EAA Sport Aviation, if you haven’t seen it yet.

New home for Able Ace at Oakview Mall
On Sunday, 10/6 we moved the Able Ace facility from our previous spot in the Oakview Mall to the new place. We’re on the upper level, next door to Riddle Jewelers in the former PacSun store location.
Able Ace is the home of two EAA 80 build projects, a Kitfox and a GlaStar. It’s also used by the Omahawks R/C Club, Aviation STEMaha, and The Heartland Organization of Rocketry (THOR). EAA 80 holds its meetings there part of the year.
The new space is somewhat smaller than the old one, but still a great location to work and get our aviation and STEM community a little exposure to the rest of the world.
Chapter Picnic September 8th!
The September meeting will be replaced by the chapter picnic on September 8 at noon, at the Plattsmouth airport. There will be no presenter. The chapter will provide burgers, brats and drinks. Please bring a side dish or dessert to share.
