The October 21 dinner meeting's presentation was by Mr. G. Pat Macha, historian, teacher, researcher, and explorer as he spoke on Mysteries Mitigated, stories of missing aircraft in California both on land and off shore. His in-depth look at local aviation wrecks gave insight into how these tragedies led to mandatory safety enhancements in aviation instrumentation and FAA procedures. We also saw how his research into missing aircraft brought closure and peace to the families.
