SkY Flight (Skagit Youth Flight) is a chapter-sponsored project to introduce local high school students to what it takes to build and maintain aircraft. The goal is to make a flyable Cessna 150 out of two donor airplanes. The students will do most of the work, with assistance and supervision from members of Chapter 818 and some local A&P technicians.
SkY Flight meets every Thursday evening at 6 pm at the Skagit Regional Airport, hangar 400 on the south side of the field. From Highway 20, take Higgins Airport Way north, turn left at the sign for the Heritage Flight Museum, then look for the SkY Flight sign on the right. New students and parents are welcome–just show up to the next work session. Or you can contact Dan Holden (tail_wheel@hotmail.com) or Jay Findlay (jayfindlay@aol.com) for more info.
We need donations to help cover the costs of materials and services needed to make the airplane airworthy–things like engine parts, crankshaft inspections and a new prop. If you’d like to make a tax-deductible cash donation, just click on the button below. Or if you have something we could sell for cash, please contact Dan Holden. Chapter 818 is a 501(c)(3) organization, so all contributions are tax deductible.
