Holiday/Christmas Luncheon: Our Holiday/Christmas luncheon will be held on Saturday, 11 December at the Mother-in-Law House Restaurant on Main Street, St. Charles. Between Thanksgiving and Christmas, Main Street is always alive with carolers, musicians, carriage rides and Dickensian pageantry.

We will also be collecting small goodies for our raffle basket at the MACTS in January.

Future Aviation Events:
AIRCRAFT MUST RE-REGISTER - If Issued Registration Before October 1, 2010. The Re-Registration and Renewal of Aircraft Registration rule went into effect on October 1, 2010. Aircraft registrations issued on or after this date will expire after three years when they may be renewed. Aircraft registered before October 1, 2010, are required to re-register during the next three years according to the schedule provided in 14 CFR Part 47.40. Reminder notices will be sent using the address of record, make sure your address is up to date. The first group of aircraft to be re-registered will be aircraft that have a current registration issue date during the month of March, from all years. Application for re-registration of these aircraft should be made between November 1, 2010, and January 31, 2011. Making an early application will ensure the new certificate of registration can be delivered before the old certificate expires on March 31, 2011. Questions may be directed toll free to 866-762-9434.
