WHEN TH&Y COME HOME kON VACATION a V 1 f III Club for those who want to fly Most anything that will get one off the ground will be the subject of a club organizational meeting for those interested in flight. "We want to find people who want to fly and set up a program for them," said Gary Fountaine, Mountain Moun-tain Air and one of the promoters of the club. Fountaine along with Wes Parmeter, would like to attract as many people as possible to the first meeting of the club Saturday, April 13, at 7 a.m. Persons interested in ultralights, ballooning, gliders, model airplanes, parachuting, or experimental ex-perimental aircraft design and building, whatever the interest, if there are enough people, "we will develop a program in that area," Fountaine said. The first meeting of the club will be for organizing the club's structure and to see where the interest is. Parmeter, who recently soloed in an ultralight, said that for him an ultralight is an inexpensive safe way to experience flight. His interests in aircraft began in model airplane flying. fly-ing. He concedes that flying an ultralight is more fun. There is no cost for coming to the meeting. The club will be a mechanism for the sharing of knowledge about flight. "A lot of people say 'that seems dangerous,"' Fountaine said. But he contends that properly supervised flight instruction takes much of the risk out of learning to fly. The meeting will be at the Vernal Aviation Building near the Vernal Municipal Airport. Interested persons should call 789-8157, 789-4181 or 789-9543. The club is being sponsored by Mountain Air and Vernal Aviation. :f' 4i Wes Parmeter I rT I 'I Lard is the most caloric food over 900 calories per 100 grams.
