Spring Fly Out
It's Spring! Let's go flying! Our Fly Out will take place April 6. Sign up HERE, and we'll fly to Mattoon, IL and enjoy a great day of flying and a good meal together! There's a way to ride along if you don't have your own airplane, so sign up - available seats are first come, first served. MORE INFO IN THE POST BELOW!
April Dinner
Don’t forget our April meeting is Tuesday, 9 April, the day after the total eclipse, at MCL Cafeteria, 2370 W. 86th Street, Indy. Bob Wearley plans to speak on the (NAS) National Airspace and non-towered airports. Note that we said non-towered instead of uncontrolled. One sounds better to non-aviation people, but often they are the same thing. Bob was also chief pilot for Howard Hughes, so we might encourage him to reminisce. Bob also advocates for addiction recovery (drugs, not airplanes) and helped save the historic Smith Field in Fort Wayne.

Visit to EAA 67
President Jane Craney Weaver and Vice President Tim Porter took the Indianapolis Aero Club on the road to Noblesville’s EAA chapter 67 last Monday evening. There, they met an enthusiastic group of all ages, and our officers noted the youthful nature of the chapter’s members.
Many of us remember teachers who were also some of our first mentors. Mentorship is why so many youthful faces populate EAA 67 in Noblesville. One of their teachers is also an ardent pilot who shares her experiences with her students. It’s good to know that there are still mentors willing to give of themselves for the betterment of others.
Many aviation organizations are in the Indy area, but we are not talking to each other. That’s why our officers took the club on the road; we want the IAC to become the FRONT PORCH of aviation in Central Indiana. Let’s get to know each other.The Indy Aero Club renaissance is a team effort. We also want to recognize Board member Fred Fritz, who got us invited to the EAA Chapter 67 meeting, and our esteemed treasurer Ken Yale, who supported the club’s outreach efforts by attending the meeting.

IAC Dinner, November 14, 2023 - Speaker: Jim Olivi
Our November speaker:
Jim Olivi is a computer programmer and networking engineer. He holds a Masters degree from DePaul University, Chicago and a Bachelor's degree from the University of Illinois.
Jim has been interested in history, especially the history of the first half of the 20th century. He has read about the causes of the First and Second World Wars and the aftermath of those wars. He got interested in this era because of his late uncle, Lt Col Fred J Olivi, USAF, who was a co-pilot on the B-29 “Bockscar” on August 9, 1945.
Jim accompanied his uncle to various air shows, where Lt Col Olivi spoke about his role while assigned to the 509th Composite Bombardment Group, the US Army Air Force unit tasked with delivering the atomic bombs. Jim and his uncle were inducted into the Commemorative Air Force at one of these events.
Jim also holds a pilot’s license with ratings in single- and multi-engine ATP and commercial sailplane. He flew as co-pilot in the CAF’s C-47 and JU-52.
