The newsletter started in 1980 and was put together by Roger Mellema until 1999. Then Steve Mahoney took over.
The first ones are copied from NW Aero. Currently, all newsletters are scanned in and OCR'd. After being processed through the OCR tool (OmniPage) they need to be corrected and the formatting to be fixed. The completed newsletters are listed in the menu. The others are accessible through the search function of this site or by clicking on on of the following links. Keep in mind that if they are not yet listed in the menu they are in a rather rough state.
Note: There was no issue # 6. (See note under NEWSLETTER DUES in issue # 9.)
You can also download all newsletters in a zip archive: bd4all.zip (15 MB!)

1) The HTML version is an online web page (just like this page). If you click on the number it will open in the browser and you can go back. The HTML pages are converted from the paper copies of the newspapers. This conversion is not 100% accurate. Check the PDF document for the real thing.
2) PDF is a Adobe Acrobat document. It is a
graphical image of the print-out. You can
download the PDF document and print it out
off-line. You'll need Adobe's PDF Reader
