The chapter held a Young Eagles Rally at KRBW last Saturday and set a new chapter record for the number of children we flew in one day, 55. We had to postpone two earlier rallies we planned in the winter and spring earlier this year due to weather. This time the weather was excellent for flying. We had some new local EAA members come over to help us fly kids, which doubled the normal number of planes and pilots who volunteer to help out. We couldn't have done it without the ground crews, organizers, schedulers and pilots. For that, we are very thankful for your assistance. The kids all enjoyed it as you can see in their smiles.

Last Saturday, the chapter hosted a EAA Young Eagles Rally at KRBW. In addition to flying kids, we had several aviation orientated organizations on hand for informational purposes, including Women in Aviation, Boeing, The Tuskegee Airmen organization, the Civil Air Patrol Squadron from Cottageville, and aviation students from Charleston Southern University. Thank you to all of you for coming out to support our rally.

We had warbird aerial photographer Ron Malec giving a presentation on air-to-air photography at our meeting this past weekend. He did an outstanding job in explaining the entire process to safely take great photos. Well done, Ron.

Next month we will be flying Young Eagles prior to our meeting on Feb 14th. We'll have a presentation on powered parachutes for our meeting topic.

The chapter had it's annual Christmas luncheon at Laura restaurant in Summerville last month. Chapter recognition awards and pins were also passed out. The chapter had a good year, flying 86 Young Eagles. We had some EAA members from outside of the chapter who helped us by flying kids too. Thanks go to all the pilots and ground crew folks who made that possible, especially our Young Eagle Coordinator, Liz Birch.

The chapter will resume flying Young Eagles in February. Any EAA member who is registered with EAA as a Young Eagle pilot can take these kids flying. Contact us if interested.
