G. Report from President

New Acquisitions

Bob acquired some new movie and propaganda posters from WWI and WWII.
We were sent a package of photos with some original US Army Air Corps photos from the war. They’re scenic shots, no aircraft. The photos were sent by the wife of a pilot stationed in Yakutat.

Hangar Renovation Status

Bob is demolishing the floor in the movie theater and will clean out the movie theater area and the area that will be the flight retail center in the coming weeks. Construction is on hold until his supplies arrive since the local hardware store is out of 2x4s.

February Warbird Operators Conference in SEA

Bob encouraged anyone on the board who is able to attend the conference to do so and try to make some contacts in the Warbird Operators community.

Yakutat Christmas Bazaar

Bob and Ryan had a booth at the Bazaar to advertise the museum and talk about what we’re trying to do. Many people were interested in talking to them. But the cookies were really good.

Bob sold his share of Italio River Adventures and will now be able to dedicate more time and money to the hangar project, the fueling and storage business and the Foundation.

H. Report from Treasurer

Negotiations with Yak-tat KWAAN

The Yak-tat-KWAAN agreed to allow us to move the plane from the center of town to the museum to be restored, then returned to the center of town. The Yak-tat KWAAN made it clear that they would retain ownership of the plane.
