Steve Fossett
2 0 1 7 Steve Fossett Steve Fossett was an American entrepreneur and traveler best known for circumnavigating the world in a Roziere balloon in 2002. “A Rozière balloon (or simply Rozière) is a type of hybrid balloon that has separate chambers for a non-heated lifting gas (such as hydrogen or helium) as well as for a heated lifting gas (as used in a hot air balloon or Montgolfière). The design was created by Jean-François Pilâtre de Rozier (1754..1785).” He was an American busi- nessman and a record-setting aviator, sailor, and adventurer. He was the first person to fly solo nonstop around the world in a balloon. He made his fortune in the financial services industry and was best known for many world rec- ords, including five nonstop circumnavigations of the Earth: as a long-distance solo balloonist, as a sailor, and as a solo flight fixed-wing aircraft pilot. He was born in Jackson, Tennessee and grew up in Garden Grove, California, where he graduated from Garden Grove High School. His interest in adventure began early. As a Boy Scout, he grew up climbing the mountains of California, beginning with the San Jacinto Mountains."When I was 12 years old I climbed my first mountain, and I just kept going, taking on more diverse and grander projects." He did not have a natural gift for athletics or team sports, so he focused on activities that required persistence and endurance. His father, an Eagle Scout, encouraged him to pursue these types of adventures and encouraged him to become involved with the Boy Scouts early.

Nick Saum LTA Resume
Nicholas M. Saum, PhD Inducted into the U.S. Ballooning Hall of Fame on July 28, 2019 By the Balloon Federation of America at the National Balloon Museum in Indianola, Iowa Nicholas M. Saum, PhD, contributed selflessly to the field of aviation, and aerostation in particular, over the course of a long and colorful career. He set dozens of World and National Records in Altitude, Distance and Duration in a rozier balloon he built himself. He authored the Propane and Fuel Management handbook for the BFA, and contributed to the Balloon Flying Handbook published by the FAA. He served on the launch teams of many of Steve Fossett’s circumglobal balloon attempts, as the crew chief and launch director for the German team on the Chrysler TransAtlantic balloon race, and on Kevin Uliassi’s J. Renee 1 circumglobal attempts. He taught many students how to fly both hot air and gas balloons, and served as an FAA Designated Examiner for balloons. While Nick prided himself on his irascible manner, he was the first to step up to service, to support fellow aeronauts, to research, experiment and publish in the field of safety, and to lend his considerable intellectual prowess to the growing body of knowledge in our sport. As a young man, Nick loved to hunt pheasants and shoot skeet. He regularly participated in fox hunts, and enjoyed riding horses. He enjoyed roller skating, entering dance competitions, and tinkering with carts. After teaching himself Morse Code, Nick obtained a job with the Illinois Central Railroad. Later, in the US Army, he served as a Morse Code Interceptor in Okinawa.

Greetings Members and Friends of EAA Chapter 866, One COOL
August 2016 Submittal Greetings Members and Friends of EAA Chapter 866, Ahoy All Aviation Aficionados! The Arrival of August brings An Abundance of Aeronautical And Aerospace News to Alliterate About! One COOL Presentation If you missed the July chapter meeting last month, you missed a wonderful treat! Our guest speaker, Don Wilson, shared some fascinating inside stories about his tenure as Crew Chief on Air Force One!! He spoke and answered questions for more than an hour and everyone seemed eager to hear more! PLUS, thanks to our newly installed Air Conditioning unit with its “whisper quiet mode”, not only did our guest speaker regale us with great stories, but we could actually hear them too!! Hopefully, we can get Mr. Wilson to return soon for an encore presentation. Convention:EAA Annual Actually, there were at least THREE different week-long “Conventions” held this past month. TWO of them involved a lot of fancy speaking, but only ONE of them involved a lot of Fancy Flying!! You can decide for yourself which convention was the best, I’ve got my mind made up. For us EAA types, one of the biggest and best news-making events of the year is the annual EAA “Convention” at Oshkosh. A lot of folks just call it “Oshkosh”, some call it “AirVenture”, but most of the EAA staffers just call it Well “Convention”. This week-long aviation adventure-fest just wrapped up last week!! Among other things, the Two-Millionth Young Eagle was flown last week at EAA “Convention”!! Way to Go Young Eagle Volunteers! Even though I didn’t make it to go to the big show, I did hear from our chapter member extraordinaire, Deborah Van Treuren, several times.

The Search for Steve Fossett Updates
The Search For Steve Fossett Updates: Nov 4, 2008 - 9:43 pm DNA confirms bones belong to Steve Fossett Today is a happy ending to a truly sad story. It was confirmed over the weekend through DNA testing of long bones discovered ~500 m from the crash site that were recovered last Thursday. This puts to rest the mystery of a great adventurer’s disappearance for good. While the finality of this sinks in, I am happy that there is closure to this story. Steve led a life that was admirable in many ways. One of the greatest lessons I learned from his life was to perservere towards your goal, and not to let failure or obstacles stand in your way. With his multiple attempts to circumnavigate the globe in a baloon, it is clear that failure was not an insurmountable obstacle in the pursuit of one’s dreams. I hope that Steve’s legacy lives on and that it continues to have a positive influence on adventure and exploration. Oct 9, 2008 - 7:18 am Steve Fossett’s Wreckage Found I’m definitely very excited to be able to write this. It has been a little over a week from the positive identification of Fossett’s wreckage near Minnaret Lake, Mammoth Lakes California. As predicted and expected, it was a hiker who actually found the critical clue to locating his wreckage. The wreckage did not appear burned, was scattered at the treeline around 10,000 feet, and covered an area greater than a football field with debris, with the engine block sitting nearly 100 m from the fuselage.

The Steve Fossett Accident - Plane & Pilot Magazine
The Steve Fossett Accident - Plane & Pilot Magazine http://www.planeandpilotmag.com/pilot-talk/ntsb-debriefer/the-steve-foss... The Steve Fossett Accident The NTSB’s findings on the famed aviator’s fatal crash By Peter Katz The NTSB says the probable cause of the 2007 crash of adventurer Steve Fossett was an inadvertent encounter with downdrafts above mountainous terrain that exceeded the climb capability of the Bellanca Super Decathlon he was flying. Downdrafts, high-density altitude and mountainous terrain were all contributing factors. None of those factors should be taken for granted by pilots who fly, or have a desire to fly, in mountainous areas. In simple terms, while wind flows smoothly up the windward side of a mountain, and the updrafts can be used to help an aircraft make it over the crest of the terrain, downdrafts on the leeward side can become terrifyingly strong and turbulent. Areas of turbulence and downdrafts can be surrounded by deceptively smooth air. Just because there are no lenticular clouds, rotor clouds or dust storms doesn’t necessarily mean that conditions are benign. Before conducting a flight in or near HOW IT HAPPENED. mountainous terrain, an experienced pilot Nearly two years later, the NTSB finds should carefully evaluate the weather, that Steve Fossett (pictured with Richard Branson) may have especially winds aloft, approaching crashed due to an encounter with downdrafts. frontal activity and stability information such as the lifted index. A smart, inexperienced pilot will confer with someone who knows how to evaluate conditions, and also get a checkout with an instructor qualified to teach mountain flying before venturing into unknown territory.
