| Steve Wilson Memorial Fund |
| Funds have been given in Steve's name to chapter 1175 Young Eagles Scolarship fund. Since the FAA has ruled Young Eagles pilots can not be compensated for gas for flying young eagles, the Scholarship fund should be used to send kids to the one week Oshkosh camp, or possibly use the Scholarship fund to help kids learn to fly? |
