Longtime Lake Elmo EAA Chapter Member Dies

EAA Chapter 54 member Dennis Hoffman passed away Nov. 1, 2021. Hoffman, age 75, of Stillwater, was a longtime member of Chapter 54 who flew many Young Eagle flights with the chapter in his lovingly maintained and polished 1953 Cessna 170B.

He also built a polished aluminum Midget Mustang and beautifully restored a Piper L4 warbird, and was a talented, well equipped, and generous fixture on the field.

of aircraft scales and his humor.
