CPS Newsletter: June 2016
Our Annual Get Together:
The Maine Fly-In/Get Together is just around the corner! From Wednesday June 22 through Sunday June 26, 2016, we will be gathered at KBXM Brunswick Maine. http://www.airnav.com/airport/KBXM.
Jane and John Marden have worked very hard to bring you a wonderful destination, great attractions, delicious food, and the camaraderie that only a CPS gathering can deliver. While there, we have a fly-out to Acadia National Park planned and that too is one of the jewels of Maine. Hiking, great dining, fishing, rafting, kayaking, and whale watching tours are just a few of the options you have for your free time as well as the shopping in Freeport. We're heading to Brunswick and there's always room for more good people at the CPS table.Get Together & Fly-In Talk:

‘NOTAMS’ is the newsletter of the Cessna Pilots Society. “CPS” is an all-volunteer group of aviation enthusiasts who maintain a forum for the unofficial exchange of ideas relating to technical, operational, and functional issues relating specifically to Cessna aircraft. We provide a venue whereby the members may also choose to discuss destinations, and other subjects that touch on the aviation lifestyle. No political discussions are permitted. The daily workings of CPS are overseen by a Board of Directors that also moderate the forum if needed. We also welcome members that fly other brands who wish to participate for the friendship, and unique access to a diverse set of good minds. Dedicated owners, operators, AMT’s and all aviation enthusiasts are welcome at CPS.
The Cessna Pilots Society is not affiliated or endorsed by Cessna/Textron Corporation or its subsidiaries. All Cessna model designations and models are the property/trademark of Cessna/Textron.
