MAAG visits KAM Restoration Center
The February MAAG meeting was at the new restoration center of the Kansas Aviation Museum in Wichita, Kansas. The buildings were recently donated by Spirit AeroSystems. They have been refurbished by museum volunteers and are now actively in use.
Walt House, museum curator, and his wife Carol hosted a chili feed, which was appropriate given the below freezing temperatures outside. New officers were elected, with Tim Wiebe our new president, Earl Long is vice-president, and Randy Shields secretary / treasurer. Potential guests speakers for future MAAG meetings were discussed. The next meeting will be at the Beaumont Hotel on Saturday, March 10 at 1:00 PM. See you there!
Here are some shots from the new facility:
