Description:

Paul Merzlock - Our Featured Guest Speaker

Paul has presented many great aviation weather presentations to many pilots over the years, and he always draws a large crowd interested in better understanding the ever changing weather here in the Chicago area. His presentations will enable you to make better flying decisions and simplify those weather reports and satellite images into useful practical information.

He received his Bachelor's degree in meteorology from Northern Illinois University before attaining a Master of Science degree in Atmospheric Science, from the University of Illinois at Urbana. Paul's professional career began as a civilian instructor with the USAF, teaching military personnel subjects including radar and satellite meteorology, and atmospheric physics. Paul transferred to the National Weather Service, Chicago office in 1984, where he served as a forecaster until retiring in 2011. He also serves as an adjunct professor at Lewis University at Romeoville, IL, teaching Aviation Meteorology. Following retirement from the weather service, Paul has been a part of the weather team at WGN-TV Chicago.

We will also have Airport Updates from the DPA Airport Authority, and the DPA Tower which will review their DuPage Tower General Operating Procedures.

Free lunch will follow our guest speaker around 12 Noon.
