Hanger Fly with the Old Bold Pilots Fly B17s to Ultalights at the Monthly Meeting



June 1, 2005 -- "There are Old Pilots, there are Bold Pilots, but there are no Old Bold Pilots" - an old aviation truism.

To meet with fellow pilots, from pre-World War II pilots up to the most modern, meet monthly at the Sweetbriar Inn in Tualatin, Oregon at 12:30 till 2 PM on the 2nd Wednesday of each month.

The OBPC is an informal organizion where you can meet to trade stories, learn history, learn flying, and learn about various aircraft while having lunch.

The aviators at a meeting can range from WW-II, Korea, Vietnam, current conflicts, along with test pilots, people who have worked on, and even designed aircraft.

Some attendees are people who like aviation and want to learn more. These people know much about about famous pilots, aircraft, and history but never earned a pilot's license.

All people who have an interest in aviation are welcome.

The very informal group spends two hours from 12:15 till 2 PM or so having conversations about aircraft from WW-I to the latest aircraft in the air. Stories about engines on fire, shot out rudders, night navigation missions over Germany, Korea Vietnam as well as technical details of equipment, to stories about comic happenings on military bases (and ships) fill the room - usually all at the same time.

There are no fees, no requirements to attend any gathering, or anything formal. Walk in, sit down, and start talking, listening, and having a good time over lunch is all that is required.

Any former or current military or civilian pilot, crewman, enthusiast, historian (there are a few historians who attend including some women), people interested in aviation are welcome to drop in. No parachute required.

Bob Malmstrom ( rwmalmstrom @ comcast.net ) runs the local Portland area group is the POC to be contacted for details. Tom Philo ( tom @ taphilo.com ) http://www.taphilo.com/tom/ can also be contacted as an alternate.

The next meeting will be on June 8, 2005.
