The final EAA meeting for the 2016 summer break

Today was the final EAA meeting before the summer break. The event was held out at the Parkland Airport (CPL6). It was a pretty good turnout. Unfortunately only one member was able to fly out that day even though it was decent VFR weather. The BBQ was delicious of course and after we were given a tour of the various planes and hangers that the Edmonton Flying Club has. I must say that I am extremely impressed with the 'stable of planes' that the flying club has. All new/newer Cessna's with Glass cockpits and very well taken care of. 

Many thanks to the Edmonton Flying Club for the opportunity to tour their facility.

Of note was a privately owned Cirrus with a paint scheme that caught my eye. Very simple and clean, yet striking in my opinion. Not 100% sure about the gold color for me (although I think it is amazing on this cirrus) but the simple transition and the pin striping and details peaked my interest. Took a bunch of pictures for my paint scheme ideas.

Right rib #3 - 2.5 hours

Again...Having pretty decent success with bucking the rivets. More consistent results. Not much to report in the way of a build log other than I finished this rib up.
