Evening Program: The Recreational Aviation Foundation

Please join us Wednesday September 2nd for our EAA 124 monthly Chapter Meeting. This month, long time Chapter Member Doug Lumgair will present on the Recreational Aviation Foundation (RAF) and all the incredible work they do facilitating recreational flying for all of us.  

Doug has recently become the California State liaison for the RAF and will present on the RAF and the work they do to preserve, improve, and creates airstrips for recreational flying access. His presentation will include the online RAF airfield guide and several special airstrips and projects they have been working on lately. Doug will also share practical, real-world techniques for high-density aircraft operations, tailwheel operations, and safe backcountry/off-airport flying!

Doug has over 40 years of aviation experience, including being a CFI, an A&P mechanic, charter flying in Southeast Alaska, and leading fly-out groups for advanced pilots at the annual Lone Pine Fly-In. He specializes in tailwheel aircraft instructing, backcountry flying, and off-airport advanced flight instruction. He’s given over 900 hours of tailwheel instruction, including in Stearmans and “Twin Beech” aircraft.

Doug has an incredible passion for stick-and-rudder flying, attitude flying, and keeping safe options open at all times. He’s a wealth of information. It should be a great night!
