April 2010 - Meeting Summary

We were happy to see quite a few visitors at the April meeting.  Our speaker, Billy Werth, invited John Fleck, who took most of the amazing photos Billy showed us during his presentation, and Tibor Beirbaum from Ft Wayne; Michele Stark and the Kohr's, Roland and Jan, all from Bloomington were guests of Jim Stark; and Austin Bayless from Indianapolis was a guest of Bob Campbell.  Michael and Colin Oberthur were back as well.  


Many commented at the end of the evening that they really enjoyed Billy's presentation. It was a pleasure to hear Billy speak about growing up around the Air Force (his father was a B-52 pilot) and share how he became interested in aerobatics after his training at Indiana State University.  We appreciated how Billy presented the mix of commercial, military and aerobatic flying that has brought him to this point in his career.  Not only was his presentation entertaining, but we all seamed to walk away with a little more appreciation of one our newest members:  Billy Werth.


We're looking forward to hearing more about Billy in the future.  We'll keep an eye on his website (Grayout Aerosports LLC) so we know what he is up to, and we all wish him continued success in his career and through the remainder of this air show season.  Oh, and we can't wait to hear a few more stories at future meetings when he's able to join us!
