Several of our members have expressed an interest in having our own place at an airport where members can meet any time, turn a wrench on a plane now and then, and just be around aircraft and that environment. Since the Squadron doesn’t own an aircraft (and are not permitted by EAA to own one), it did not make sense to pursue buying or renting a hangar. However, an opportunity for the next best thing has presented itself thanks to member Jonathon Hardwick. Jonathon is purchasing a hangar at HAO large enough for their Navion and other aircraft. Adjacent to this hangar is a room approx 25 ft x 25 ft that he has offered to sublet to CWB for only $65/mo. This would be available to any and all members to use for meetings, aircraft projects, storage of CWB items, or just “hanging out” at the airport. After much discussion, the Board voted unanimously to enter into an agreement with Jonathon commencing April 1 to sublet the room (to be known as the CWB HA”O” Club) for a one-year trial period. Details will be available at the next meeting.
