LORAN-C Shutting Down

In accordance with the DHS Appropriations Act, the U.S. Coast Guard will terminate the transmission of all U.S. LORAN-C signals effective 2000Z 08 Feb 2010.

2010 Dues

2010-01-06T03:03:33Z

Well, this has been such a good year that we have been able to LOWER your dues. Now, instead of $35.00 a year, you pay only $30.00. However—and here is the deal—if you pay during January, it’s only $25.00!

We have about 110 folks on the email list. I would like to see a lot of those people join. By doing so, we will be better able to fund events for club members throughout the year. I mean, It’s only $25.00! It costs me twice that to fill up the tank in my truck.

So get out your checkbook and write one to Savannah Aviation Association, and mail it to PO Box 15138, Savannah, GA 31416. The more people we have, the more fun we’ll have!

Have you ever wanted to fly around the world in a GA plane? How about through and in Russia during the collapse of communism? This month’s speaker will give us a first-person account of such a trip, with slides, video, and captivating commentary. Come out to Lovezzola’s on Tuesday evening, January 19th, and hear our own Mario Corti recount this amazing feat.
