This year you proved me wrong again! The Pacific Coast Air Museum Air Show excelled in every aspect; the performances, the timing, static displays, announcements, traffic control and parking, the Pilot’s Tent and so many others. I can only imagine how hard you and your folks work in planning for and implementing this very significant contribution to avia- tion and Sonoma County. I am very impressed with the spirit of every one of the PCAM members and the host of volunteers. A big thanks to you and those who helped plan and carry out this memorable event. Sincerely, Jim Eade, General, United States Air Force (Retired) Air Show Survivor’s BBQ We had one terrific Air Show. By every measure, it was the best ever. Now, for those members who helped put on our Air Show, the Survivor’s BBQ is a chance to relax, pat ourselves on the back, tell “war stories”, and have a good time without all the stress of Air Show prep, or Air Show day, or Air Show take down, or Air Show put away. DATE: Saturday, September 22nd PLACE: East Patio, Pacific Coast Air Museum TIME: 3:00 PM until ??? (we have lights now!!). We will supply the meat, bread, salad, wine, beer, and soft drinks and water.

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.

  • 2007 Chapter Officers
    OUR ROOTS: AEROBATICS IN THE ‘60’s With the onset of cold weather and the lack of chapter news, I will take liberties with this installment to share some of our heritage. I first participated in formal aerobatic competition in 1968. At that time US competition was sanctioned by the ACA (Aerobatic Club of America) and was divided into three competition categories: Primary, Advanced and Unlimited. After three wins, Primary contestants were required to move up. In 1968 I was married with two boys and earning a whopping $820 a month as a chemistry instructor. I competed that year in Primary with a stock 65 hp J3 Cub. The ’68 Primary sequence was well designed and accommodated good energy management: Spin Loop Immelman 45 down snap Half Cuban Barrel Roll Hammerhead Slow Roll Reverse Half Cuban Four Point Roll Those of us without inverted fuel often experienced loss of power during the Immelman and appreciated the subsequent 45 down line in order to restart our engines. Contests in ’68 were held at Monroe, LA; Vandalia, IL; Ottumwa, IA; Rockford (Harvard) IL and the Nationals at Oak Grove airport, Fort Worth, TX. One of the pleasures of this era was the wide variety of competing aircraft. They included a lively mix of both monoplanes (clipped Cub and T-Craft, Luscombe, Ryan PT-22 and STA, Citabria, Stitts Playboy, Cassutt Racer, Chipmunk, Dart, and Zlin) and biplanes (Smith Miniplane, EAA Biplane, Pitts Special, PJ-260, Stampe, Bucker Jungmeister and Jungmann, Great Lakes, Wacos, and Stearman). Many of these early airplanes were modified to enhance their strength, control systems and to implement inverted power.

  • 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.
