Starfighters Aerospace”
Starfighter of “Starfighters Aerospace” On November 3, 2015 I had the great opportunity to visit the “Starfighters Aerospace” company at the Kennedy Space Center (KSC). The Shuttle Landing Facility is the home base for Starfighters Aerospace. Its maintenance is located in the SLF 50,000 sqn feet hangar inside the Kennedy Space Center on Merritt Island, FL. This all was possible with the great help of Wolfgang Czaia, who managed all the necessary paperwork for the permission of the visit and showed me around and told me a lot of details. Line-up of the fleet in front of the main hangar Wolfgang “Wolf” Czaia has logged over 2800 hours in type, out of approx. 28.000 hours total flight time in more than 150 different types of airplanes. Since 1992, test pilot for the reproduction Messerschmitt Me262 - the world’s first operational jet fighter - conducting all FAA -certification test flights, developing normal- and emergency procedures and writing the flight manuals. Wolfgang is a member of the Classic Jet Aircraft Association, EAA, Cascade Warbirds, the German Fighter Pilots Association, the National Space Society and the Society of Experimental Test Pilots CF-104D 1032 104632 "N104RB" (cn 5302, sn 12632) “N104NL” / “N166TB” / “N104RB” This two seat Canadian Starfighter was once flown by the Canadian Armed Forces since its delivery on May 1, 1962. It served the test squadron at Cold Lake for many years and when the Canadians wanted to decrease their operational F-104 fleet they sold this aircraft to the Norwegian Air Force on 23 May 1973. On 14 September that year it arrived in Norway receiving serial “4632”. -

Hangar Talk The “Lightning” Magazine Sharing Info between Builders, Flyers, and Future Customers First Quarter 2015, Volume 8, Issue 1 Published in January 2015 Lightning of the Quarter – George Andre’s Jet Letter from the Editor Attending aviation events to obtain information to include in the Lightning Magazine, “Hangar Talk”, is interesting and fun. I get to meet and work with really nice people. This year should be another interesting one for Arion Aircraft, the Lightning, and Lightning owners both current and new owners. The US Sport Aviation Expo in Sebring, FL was a day longer this year although the weather was not optimal; it seemed to be a successful event. I will have more on that later. The picture above is another of a happy Jet pilot getting ready to go flying. If you would like to see your plane added to the list of those highlighted, send me a short write up and a couple of nice pictures. The next major event I will be attending is Sun-N-Fun, see you there. Blue Skies, Dennis W.

Kermit Weeks Bio Fantasy of Flight FINAL Rev July 2013
1400 Broadway Blvd. S.E. • Polk City, FL 33868 • 863.984.3500 • fantasyofflight.com Kermit Weeks Creator and Owner Fantasy of Flight POLK CITY, Fla. – From the time he was a child, Kermit Weeks had his head in the clouds, and his hopes pinned to the wing of an airplane. He dreamed of soaring across the skies like famed pilots of aviation’s Golden Age, and he was equally fascinated with aircraft design and construction. It’s no surprise, then, that guests at his Fantasy of Flight attraction in Polk City, Fla. can immerse themselves in an authentic aviation experience, from absorbing the sights and sounds of a World War I aerial dogfight to seeing up close more than 40 restored vintage airplanes. Fantasy of Flight opened on 300 acres between Tampa and Orlando in 1995, and Weeks plans to expand the attraction with new exhibits and experiences aimed to inspire visitors to pursue their dreams and exceed imagined boundaries. “Everyone can relate to the metaphor of reaching for the sky and the stars,” Weeks says. “We soar in our imaginations, and we fly in our dreams, and I want to get people to push their boundaries and strive to be all that they can be.” A former aerobatics champion and aircraft designer, Weeks was born in Salt Lake City, Utah, in 1954 and grew up in Miami. At age 17, Weeks began to design and build his first airplane, which he flew four years later. In 1973, at age 20, he took to the skies in aerobatic flying competitions while pursuing aeronautical engineering studies at Miami-Dade Junior College, then the University of Florida and Purdue University. -

This massive, comprehensive volume is the first to give the reader a definitive description of this neglected bomber, its development, testing, and manufacture. The role of the enigmatic aviation icon Glenn L. Martin is described in the development of the American aviation industry and the Marauder. The author made extensive use of the massive document and photo collections of the Marauder Archives at Akron and Tucson, and the Air Force collection at the NMUSAF. Martin Company design and production information and flight and test evaluations, along with original Company Flight, Parts, and Maintenance Manuals, and rare archival microfilm of original material were also used. The author was given unprecedented access to the family records of B-26 designer Peyton Magruder. The text is complemented by archival photos and drawings, and new color photos of the Marauders at the NMUSAF, Fantasy of Flight, and MAPS Museum. -
Luchtvaartkennis Inhoudsopgave Jaargang 1 T/M 58
Het grote LUCHTVAARTKENNIS register Het register van het Luchtvaart Historisch Tijdschrift ‘LUCHTVAARTKENNIS’ en de daaraan voorafgaande ‘Mededelingen’ van de Afdeling Luchtvaartkennis van de KNVvL geeft een overzicht van hetgeen in de afgelopen jaren is gepubliceerd, m.u.v. de eerste jaargang, die helaas niet meer te traceren blijkt. Uiteraard is v.w.b. De eerste jaargangen selectief opgetreden, aangezien daarin veel summiere feiten (vliegtuiggegevens etc.) staan, die zo niet achterhaald, dan toch eenvoudiger elders te vinden zijn. Ook de diverse publicaties van het vooroorlogse Nederlandse burgerlucht- vaartregister zijn weggelaten, omdat deze na het verschijnen van het boek ‘75 jaar Nederlandse burgerluchtvaartregisters’ als overbodig kunnen worden beschouwd. Aangezien eerst in 1987 een volledige paginanummering voor het gehele jaar werd ingevoerd, wordt tot dat jaar de vindplaats aangeduid met jaartal en nummer van de betreffende aflevering van de ‘Mededelingen’. Vanaf 1987 geschied zulks per pagina. De in de Luchtvaartencyclopedie verschenen onderwerpen worden aangeduid conform de aflevering waarin deze verschenen. In een enkel geval uit 1985/86 bleek dit niet te achterhalen. Wanneer in een artikel de gehele productie van een bepaalde fabriek wordt weergegeven, wordt volstaan met de vermelding van de fabriek en worden niet de afzonderlijke types vermeld.
