We got to show off the RV-12 two times recently. Once at an EAA Chapter 166 meeting and another at Bridgeport airport to kick off their RV-12 project. We get to do it again at Meriden airport on August 14th. It feels really good to talk about what we have accomplished. Through our chapter’s efforts on Young Eagle flights, the RV-12 project, and other community activities we are steadily educating more and more people on the merits of local aviation.

## Teens to Flight/Spirit of Meriden Flight Club

The RV-12 was flown to Bridgeport Airport on August 21st as part of the Tango Flight RV-12 program kick off. There were lots of school and state officials including the Lieutenant Governor. We made a good impression and got people thinking about small planes and their benefits.
