ConroeRidesDay April 1
Hello Conroe Crew and Staff and welcome to the April 1st home opener and Hometown Rides Day!

The landscape looks a lot different for this first event of 2023, as opposed to 2022. However, we are on our feet and ready to exhibit and fly our aircraft for the Hometown Rides Day. Even if you’re not named crew, come on out and let’s get the GCW back in the air!

We are holding a local Rides Day at General Aviation Services, this time hosting CAF friends the CenTex Wing’s C-47 That’s All, Brother and the B-25 Yellow Rose, plus the SB2C Helldiver.
As of yesterday, our JRB/Twin Beech was scratched from the line up, as there are still a few outstanding items before her engine change is complete. CenTex will be bringing their C-45 to take her place.

CenTex aircraft arrive on Friday March 31st at mid-day. The Diver arrives Saturday.

MEDIA DAY on Friday March 31st at 3:30 PM.
We are hosting a VIP Media flight and have confirmed County Judge Mark Keough and County Commissioner Robert Walker. As members of the Montgomery County Commissioners’ Court these are very important guests. Any members are welcome to come out and let the commissioners see the CAF in action. 😊 We will fly the commissioners and any other media/VIPs at 4:00 PM that day on That’s All Brother. Flight Ops can take this opportunity to fly any other aircraft for training or generating interest.

Rides Day on Saturday April 1st:
Essential crew report at 8:00 AM, non – essential crew report at 9:00 AM.

Gates open to the public for tours at 10:00 AM; PX also open by 10:00. First flight is 10:00 AM in the Helldiver. Second flight is the SNJ at 11:30 AM. The bombers begin LHFE flights at noon.
Passengers will begin to report in at 9:30 AM.
We are charging regular ramp admission at the door for tours: $10 for teens and adults; $5 for 12 and under; $20 for a family of two adults and up to three kids.
Last flights go up at 4:00 – 4:15.
We are off the field by 5:00 PM.

We will have a food truck onsite run by GCW COL Damon Mathews serving bratwurst and tacos. Members can purchase a $5 lunch ticket at the PX tent which will be good for $10 at the food truck. We will rely on GCW kitchen for water and sodas.

A ramp plan is attached, which may be subject to adjustment upon our arrival, depending on GAS capacity.

Loadmasters: We will need one tent, one large ice chest with ice and water and gator-ade, the A-frame signs, folding chairs, and cones and ropes to keep the public off of the hot ramp as we’ve done before.
We will also need someone to put out the new road signs at the airport entrance. (And collect them at the end of the day!) The CenTex Wing is also bringing a PX and a tent.

Tents will be outdoors by the patio. Ride Coordinators will be set up indoors. GCW will have a Rides Coordinator as will CenTex Wing.

The early weather forecast is for cloudy and chance of showers, so bring your windbreaker.
Enter the airport from League Line Road. The county fair is in progress and traffic south of League Line will be congested and certain side roads closed.

Young Eagles

Young Eagles is a program sponsored by the Experimental Aircraft Association that is designed to introduce young people to civil aviation. Events are staged all over the United States by EAA Chapters including our own Chapter 302 based at Lone Star Executive Airport in Conroe, Texas. At EAA 302, we fly kids from 12 through 17 years of age. Initially, a briefing and demonstration for actual flight is conducted, and then with parental consent, a volunteer pilot will take the applicant on a 15-20 minute flight around the immediate area which will include views of Lake Conroe and other prominent landmarks. A completion certificate is then issued to the new Young Eagle to recognize their accomplishment along with a free flight training course and their very own flight log book There is no cost involved.

Please visit youngeaglesday.org to find an event close to you. You can also contact EAA 302 Coordinator Dean Marcott at deanmarcott@yahoo.com for more information regarding scheduling future events at Conroe.

Meetings are held every 2nd Saturday at Galaxy FBO starting at 10:00 am. The Galaxy FBO entrance is off Loop 336, south of the main airport entrance. Our membership is one of varied interests and skill levels, devoted to aircraft construction, maintenance, and safe flying adherence.

Backgrounds of our membership are a large cross-section of aviation diversity; including beginning pilots, corporate, general aviation, military, and airline pilots. Members are constructing aircraft in nearly all methods of construction. We have flight advisors as well as technical counselors that are helpful in sheet metal construction, tube and fabric, and welding techniques. The knowledge base of our total membership in aircraft construction is thorough and of wide experience.

Chapter 302 has an active Young Eagles program and we invite any youngster to participate with parent or guardian involvement.

In addition to our aircraft activities, many members of our chapter are happily involved in various social functions that the chapter schedules. Our annual Christmas party is always a fun event as are the steak cookouts and fly-outs to various airports.

EAA 302 IMC/VMC Club Meeting
2024-03-14 19:00 - 21:00 | Galaxy FBO, 2791 Hawthorne Dr., Conroe, TX, 77303
Our Mission:

“The IMC/VMC Safety Forum is basically a safety meeting promoting Aviation Safety and Proficiency. We gather together for the purpose sharing stories from our various levels of experience. We encourage all pilots to get out and receive as much training training as possible to stay proficient in the VMC as well as the IMC environment. We also highly encourage those with IFR ratings to become current again and use their rating as much as possible.

The meetings are about learning from each other and sharing our flying experiences through organized hangar flying. We encourage pilots to fly and have fun using their flying privileges.

All pilots flying and non-flying are invited to join our meetings.

The IMC/VMC Safety Forum meets on the 2nd Thursday of each month at 19:00. Our venue will be announced through the EAA Chapter 302 newsletter, EAA Calendar and FAA Announcements. Our meeting agenda consists of a short aviation safety moment, a main safety topic or speaker and follow-up discussion. We encourage everyone’s input and stories during the meetings.
