Looking at our MB 99 calendar we are as busy as ever as a Chapter. With each of these projects and with upcoming elections for new officers please check your schedules and see which events and/or officer responsibilities you can take on for the Chapter. None of these positions take a lot of time we just need members that will attach the tasks to their names. I have included the two articles from our Bylaws that clarify the elected offices and duties. Jeannie Hendrickson, Election Chair, will be sending out the ballots this month. Please vote and volunteer. Alice

ARTICLE IV

Next time you go flying, look down at the airport and the surrounding buildings. You may notice markings pointing to the

airport and will probably see the airport name painted on the field. This program of identifying airports to pilots was started

as the National Air Marking Program. This program was the first U.S. government program conceived, planned and directed

by a woman with an all-woman staff. The program was a part of the Bureau of Air Commerce.

Oops! Correction to April Newsletter.

The answer to question 8 Why is frost considered hazardous to flight? Is not Flash the landing lights and cycle the

landing gear while circling the airport. Frost does not change the basic aerodynamic shape of the wing, but the

roughness of its surface spoils the smooth flow of air, thus causing a slowing of the airflow. This slowing of the

air causes early air flow separation over the affected airfoil, resulting in a loss of lift. Flashing the landing lights

may bring attention to your airplane if near a tower or near other aircraft, unfortunately it’s not going to help the

situation.

I am going to go read my books. And make sure I don’t give you anymore incorrect answers.

The 36th anniversary ceremonies at the International Forest

of Friendship will be held in Atchison on June 15 (Fri) and

16 (Sat), 2012. Honorees will be inducted to join the nearly

1400 individuals who are enshrined along the Forest's path-

ways.

The Forest's overall theme is “World Friendship through Fly-

ing.” Candidates for induction can be anyone who has con-

tributed, or is contributing to all aspects of aviation and aero-

space. Honorees need not be pilots. In 2012, the specific fo-

cus is on “Flying, Forests and the Future.” Candidates are

particularly encouraged who:

have contributed to the promotion of aviation and aero-

space, or who

have helped preserve or explore forests and natural habi-

tats through aviation and aerospace (support of state and

local units fighting forest fires, aerial resource surveys

[domestic or overseas], environmental work, etc.)

A special ceremony will honor Dr. Wangari Maathai, who

graduated from Mt. St. Scholastica College (now Benedic-

tine College) in Atchison in 1964 and who passed away in

September, 2011. She founded the Green Belt Movement,

an environmental non-governmental organization focused on

the planting of trees, environmental conservation, and wom-

en's rights. In 2004, she became the first African woman to

receive the Nobel Peace Prize for "her contribution to sus-

tainable development, democracy and peace."

More information about the Forest, as well as sponsorship,

registration and lodging information, is at the

www.ifof.org website.

The new 2012 FAA VFR aeronautical charts are being updated to

provide additional information for aircraft operations in the vicinity

of Monterey Bay, Channel Islands, Gulf of the Farallones, and Olym-

pic Coast National Marines Sanctuaries. In accordance with existing

National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) regula-

tions, flight operations below the charted altitude for each sanctuary

may harass or disturb marine mammals and seabirds and therefore,

violate NOAA regulations (15 CFR Part 922, as amended at 77 FR

3919, Jan. 26, 2012).

The FAA has worked with NOAA to accurately depict the sanc-

tuary boundaries on the affected aeronautical charts and have includ-

ed a notation that references the NOAA regulations. Look for these

additions on the Seattle Sectional, Los Angeles Sectional & Terminal

Area Chart (TAC), San Francisco Sectional & TAC, and World Aero-

nautical Charts (WAC) CF-16 & CG-18 to be released by the FAA in

2012.

The airport's web site is currently undergoing a revamp, but it will

not be ready until late summer. Given that I don't want to wait I've

worked with our Webmaster to provide an interim solution/

functionality which we can carry over to the new site. Please visit

the Watsonville Airport home page (www.watsonvilleairport.com)

and select the "E-mail Distribution List" link if you desire to re-

ceive communications deemed important to our air-

port community.
