Operational update due to permanent daylight savings!

Clear the runway and pre-heat your appetite for October's Chicken Wing Challenge. Whether you prefer your wings mild, wild, or at a cruising altitude of extra spicy, it is time to park the aircraft and gather for some well-deserved hangar talk.

No copilot required, but heavily encouraged, come down to swap flying stories, catch up with fellow members, and enjoy a great spread. Space is limited, so confirm your arrival time below and let’s make it a high-flying evening!

Hey you Wing Nuts, the great Chicken Wing Challenge continues tonight, August 4. This month’s gathering takes place at St Louis Bar & Grill near COP. Nice and close to CYBW for those who will be coming from a delicious afternoon of flying.

Looking for a fun night out that doesn’t require too much thinking as we enter the dog days of summer? This is your chance to talk airplanes, share stories, network, and tackle some delicious wings with fellow aviation-minded friends.
