Young Eagles page.
The full rally schedule for year 2009 is available there too.

rallies each month usually on the second Saturday between 9 a.m.
and noon (weather permitting).

Meetings: Club meetings are held on the last Monday of each month
year round at 7:00 p.m. somewhere on the airport property,
Minute Man Air Field on Boxboro Road in Stow, MA.
During the summer months we usually substitute a cookout for the meetings;
these cookouts start at 6:00 p.m.
Runway 21 PAPI Dedication: On November 14, 2009 the new PAPI
for runway 21 was dedicated by airport manager Don McPherson and a
group of local pilots. EAA Chapter 196 made a major contribution to
the cost of the PAPI.
40th Anniversary Open House: On July 11, 2009, Minute Man
Air Field held a 40th anniversary open house. EAA chapter 196
participated by holding a record setting Young Eagles rally and
also by firing up the grills. Here is a
photo gallery
of the day.
Events Of Interest: A list of local events of interest to
chapter members and other pilots is available here. The full list
is on the events page, but here are the next few:
EAA Chapter 196 2009 Myricks Fly-In:
Our chapter's annual fly-in to Myricks
Airport in Berkley was held Sunday, September 20. We had our usual
great weather and served up lots of burgers
and hotdogs to the hungry crowds. For a look at the 2009 fly-in,
see the
photo gallery
of the event.
2007 Collings Foundation Living History Weekend:
For several years now we've helped the Collings Foundation with their
annual June open house. Last year they decided to add a second event,
a WWII themed living history weekend. As usual, we manned the grills for
both days and it would appear that this weekend brought the biggest crowds
ever. For a look, see the
photo gallery
of the event.
