On Zoom
7:00 PM*
This month we are planning on another meeting by Zoom. After our Invocation, Pledge of Allegiance, toasts, and some flight business updates, we will have a presentation by Flight member Fred Weber on his tour as an AF pilot flying with the Navy at Pensacola. December’s Christmas Zoom meeting was very successful and Zoom presents a great opportunity for those who find it hard to make the regular monthly meetings to connect with the flight. We will email all of you an invitation with the link to the meeting. While we would love to have all of you participate with live video, there will also be instructions on how to participate by phone only.
* The Zoom call will be open at 6:15 PM for socializing

STANDARD DEBRIEF ITEMS: LAST FLIGHT LEG (17 Nov 2020):
On 15 December, we held our annual Flight 9 Christmas meeting via Zoom. We had about 30 members in attendance. We had our invocation and Pledge of Allegiance, as well as our standard toasts, followed by a Christmas message from Flight Captain Kathy Staiger. We then showed a short video "Aviation Night Before Christmas", followed by our first contest where everyone stood up individually and described their Christmas Sweater, Tie or Drink. That generated some "interesting" comments. We then played a version of "Let's Make a Deal", where everyone selected a number, and could steal a number already selected. We then had the "Reveal" of what prize each had selected. There was a prize for everyone, whether it was a very nice prize, nice prize, or gag prize. Following that, we played a video with music and pictures from past Flight 9 Christmas parties. We then announced the awards for Ugliest sweater, most festive outfit, best tie, and most creative drink. That wrapped it up, and it was a great time! As always, we appreciated seeing the participants online, though we look forward to when we once again can see everyone in person!
