| Jan 13, 4:00 - 6:00 PM | Attitude Aviation - LVK | Howard Kirker will talk us through flying the Intermediate Known. Even if you're not planning to fly Intermediate at all this year, you'll learn a lot about energy management, and how to fly individual figures. |
| Feb 10, 4:00-6:00 pm | Attitude Aviation - LVK | Ben “Freestyle” Freelove from Tutima Academy has graciously offered to come give a presentation on “How to create a Freestyle”. As you know, many of the categories require you to fly a Freestyle for one of your flights. Chapter 38 has created one in the past, but with rule changes, it’s probably time to make one of your own, or at least know what goes into making one. Ben will also be talking about “The Collaborators” (Sean, Eric, Ben, Bill), their busy show schedule this year, and how they’re preparing for it! |

AEROBATIC HELMETS: MAKE vs BUY We'll have 4-5 helmets on display, including 3 home made ones and 1-2 commercially available helmets and we'll talk about the tradeoffs and costs.

| May 11, 4:00-6:00 pm | Attitude Aviation - LVK | We've got the surprise privilege of having Sergei Boriak speak to us at our Chapter meeting. He'll likely talk about competition, and how his training camps work. Given his world-class standing as a competition aerobatic coach, this should be a terrific opportunity. |

| August 10, 4:00-6:00 pm | Attitude Aviation - LVK | We’re having a special chapter meeting to have the Virgin Galactic Team come and talk to us about trips to space on board SpaceShip II.
