"----I do solemnly swear to perform the duties of the President and defend the charter and bylaws of the EAA to the best of my ability -- So Help Me Paul-----" I am both flattered and disappointed by being elected to the office. Flattered because you consider me qualified to lead the chapter - -- disappointed because no others were in the race to contest for the opportunity to serve and do it their way, This election starts me on my fourteenth year as President to an EAA chapter, Seems that I am having more than my share of fun in EAA, As some of you know, I have been a member of 168 longer than the four years since I moved back to Dallas in 1986. I first joined 168 in 1965 .. , Records for those dates are little fuzzy but they tell me that 168 was chartered in the early '60s. In those early meetings I remember Owen Bruce, Jim Rushing, Dale Brooks, Jack Winthrop, Judy Cobb, Dick Caven and others whose names I cannot bring to mind at this moment. Dick Cavin's newsletter was so good that I remained a member for several years after I moved to Mississippi ... just to keep in touch and get the news. For me 168 set the pattern for what an EAA chapter should be. The three chapters I served in Mississippi all got a strong does of doing in the 168 way. It is my opinion that EAA is supposed to be FUN -- not work -- it is supposed to be educational, inspiring and recreational. Therefore the goal of my administration will be to make 1991 "Educational fun" Now some of the "fun" and all of the "education comes from getting involved ~o prepare to step up and join the "group". I am a strong believer in the lais-sez faire theory of government, thus I hope to follow the example of my hero "Ronnie'' and get good people, establish a plan and let them go to it. I just hope I don't get too forgetful ... nor fall asleep too often. We have the beginnings of a super team to make 1991 a banner year. (everybody take turns at towing) John Ivy as Vice-President and program chairman, Doug Vail as Treasurer, Paul Kepner as Secretary ... plus an outstanding group on the Board. These elected volunteers are supported by some dedicated real ~olunteers ... Ernie Ludwick as temporary editor (we need a permanent one), Stephen Ferraro as Publisher and Bill Wisley for Advertising. Mel Asberry is once again Safety Officer and Ernie Ludwick as custodian of tools and books. Vern Williams has agreed to see that the trailer is located in the right place for our events. One major vacancy exists --- we need a couple of good EAAers to take on the duty of food experts to operate the eating activities at our airport get togethers •. Here is an opportunity to be a hero ... there will be others. Page two As I see, it this EAA education platform has one purpose ... for "learning about airplanes and flying". That is sharing the skill and knowledge of airplanes with other people who enjoy aviation and flying. Lucky for us there are several by-product benefits ... we get to spend time with people who share our interests .•.. we get to visit interesting places where airplanes congregate and we get to see and admire many beautiful aircraft. In the process we stretch our minds learning more and more about Airplanes and Flying. TCAs notwithstanding. In a more practical vein, following discussion of the Texas January weather ... unpredictable and miserable as it can be .. we will forgo the Airport Fly-In this month. Aero Country the Saturday after the meeting ... cafe for lunch ... ,(not official) The year is started ... I can only do what you will suggest and support ... so help me and together we will make 168 great in '91! Best Wishes for a Happy New Year! Brownie Minutes of Directors Meeting, Thurs., Ded. 13, 1990 THE CHRISTMAS PARTY WAS A HUGE SUCCESS ... especially for John Ivy;s little Grandaughter. No discussion of old business. The January meeting will be on the SECOND Tuesday the balance of '91 will be at the regular time .... the First Tuesday. One item discussed was an introduction to a committee concept of chapter organization ... perhaps called "special interest groups" made up of ALL chapter members. The idea is to get everyone involved in something ... a more a~tive 168 perhaps. Airport Meeting insurance was brought up and the news is ..• we bought the insurance plan 1 thru National and we .can call them Fly- Ins again. The need for a Hangar Echoes editor was discussed. Thomas Mouser had to retire as editor ... and he did a great job for us .... Thanks Thomas. Being Editor is kind of fun if you have a word processor available and you enjoy talking to sources of information and keeping up on what's going on. Chapter members are generous with input and pictures ... and Stephen Ferraro as Publisher is there to help. The January assembly of Hanger Ehoes will be at Bill Wisley's home on the 29th of Jan. The Board Meeting for the month of Jan. will be on the 17th. Page three There will be no formal Fly-In in January Try Aero Country for lunch at the cafe.,., Saturday after the regular meeting, Chapter 168 is about to have a real P.A. system that helps us old pilots that have to ask ... What? What? at meetings.

Answer - two great products from Corrosion Technologies: CorrosionX and RejeX. Mike Tuite is the majority owner and president of Corrosion Technologies. Mike has been an instrument-rated pilot and avid participant in the General Aviation scene for more than 25 years. After getting his private license in the 1970’s, he went to work for what was then the Aero Commander Division of Rockwell International as advertising manager. He was “promoted out” of that job, and spent the next several years working on the Space Shuttle program, for which Rockwell was the prime contractor. After a number of years out of the industry, but still actively flying, Mike returned to his aviation roots in 2001, joining Corrosion Technologies Corporation in Dallas, Texas. The company manufactures CorrosionX, a high-tech anti-corrosion product used in everything from home-builts to the Space Program, and RejeX, a soil barrier created for the military and now a well-accepted wax replacement for aircraft, cars, trucks, boats and RVs. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Chapter Fly Out on September 13th is the Sulphur Springs 8th Annual Fall Fly-In.

  • Short Final at Shortstop
    Experimental Aircraft Association Chapter 168 Dallas, Texas October 1991 Volume 22 Issue 10 Short Final at Shortstop This is your view as you approach Shortstop Airport on short final over the railroad tracks. Shortstop is the turf strip owned by Chapter members Larry Klutts and Mel Asberry. The 1400 ft. strip is 2 miles east of Farmersville. Mel's new hangar has the slab finished and he expects the unassembled hangar to be delivered the first week in November. Some of us Chapter members can probably expect a call from Mel to bring our wrenches to his hangar raising one of these weekends. Many of us dream about having our own private airport. It is nice to see some of our Chapter members making it a reality. Good Luck.

Then comes a deep above our altitude of 11,500 ft MSL. This is the second breath of relief. close-up sandstorm today. We avoid the sand just as we did How did we get into that situation? It starts easy enough. earlier, by staying over forested terrain. My son Martin and I have planned to fly to the Grand Half an hour later, we approach Grants, NM, the second Canyon, AZ.

    Lancair N197DA Gets its Color By Michael Stephan Don Bird now is flying his very nicely painted Lancair Legacy. I recently has a chance to go flying with Don in N197DA, and what a nice airplane it is. Immediately you notice this EFIS screens, which have sharp, bright displays. It is the first time I saw the Chelton system in action, and I was very impressed. Don has some other instruments that I recognized. The Chelton navigation system is coupled to the Trutrak auto- pilot and Don demonstrated how well they work together. Other than some minor tweeking, which Jim Younkin was willing to do for him, the combination is terrific. Don let me fly for a bit and I noticed a very stable N197DA is powered by a fuel-injected, turbo-charged airplane and nicely balanced controls. It was a real O-360, which means that Don has a very powerful cross pleasure to fly. country flier that will be very fast and efficient at upper Don did a real nice job building N197DA, and he altitudes. should be very proud as he races across the sky to his Our demo flight took us over Greenville at 6000 ft.

Airport The official name of the airport or designated abbreviation. LocID The unique airport location identifier for an airport. Ownership Indicates airport ownership: PU Public PR Private M Military (Army, Navy, Coast Guard) NA Native American Hub Type The term “hub” is used by FAA to identify very busy commercial service airports as measured by passenger enplanements. Primary commercial service airports are grouped into four categories. Large hubs are those airports that each account for at least one percent of total U.S. passenger enplanements; medium hubs for between 0.25 percent and one percent, small hubs for between 0.05 percent and 0.25 percent, and non-hubs for less than 0.05 percent of all enplanements, but more than 10,000 annual enplanements. L Large Hub M Medium Hub S Small Hub N Non-Hub Role One of four basic airport service levels which describe the type of service that the airport currently provides to the community and is anticipated to provide the community at the end of the 5-year planning period. The service levels also represent funding categories for the distribution of Federal aid. New airports opening beyond the 5-year period are not shown in Appendix A; however, any 5-year costs associated with the development of these airports are included in Table 9.
