    International Aerobatic Club CHAPTER 38 January 2010 Newsletter PREZ POST Happy New Years! First of all, I would like to welcome everyone to 2010. It seems like each year goes by faster and faster. 2009 was a very difficult year for the economy, aerobatic community, Quisque .03 and air show industry. Like many of you, I’m looking forward to a much brighter year. The economy seems to be turning around, aircraft are starting to trade hands, and camps are starting to get scheduled. Unlike the rest of the country, the Bay Area weather has been rather calm, Cory Lovell allowing many of us the opportunity to get in a few practice President, Ch 38 sessions. I’ve also talked to several members who are taking the winter months to change out radios, upgrade engines, and fix the little things kept getting pushed out because of a contest. Integer .05 Continued on Page 2………. Issue [#]: [Issue Date] Continued from Page 1……. As you may have noticed, this is the first newsletter in a couple of months. With the unfortunate loss of Che Barnes and the retirement of Peter Jensen, we did not have anyone come forward to help with the Newsletter (we’re still looking for a couple volunteers). 2009 was also a crazy year for me, hence the fact I haven’t been able to get out a newsletter. I left my job in September to travel to Spain, then over to Germany of Oktoberfest. I also took some time to put together a website for Sukhoi Aerobatics and spend some time doing formation aerobatics training with Bill Stein and Russ Piggott.

  • Tom Poberezny and the Maturing of EAA by David Gustafson
    Tom Poberezny and the Maturing of EAA By David Gustafson When Tom Poberezny assumed the leadership of EAA as its second president in 1989, he brought a new set of skills, a fresh perspective and a determination to expand the EAA culture. As a result of what Tom brought to the table, EAA entered a new era. It matured. Tom’s professionalism slowly transformed the activities and the magazines to a broader mission, one that expanded on the concept of sport aviation, winning respect from pilots, the government, other organizations and the general public. Tom worked hard to create an environment in which homebuilding would be preserved. He sort of wrapped the movement into the larger cocoon of sport aviation, concurrently assuring that the essential freedoms for innovation, sharing, building and enjoying the tremendous sense of accomplishment that comes with parking a homebuilt on the flightline would be preserved and flourish. He enlarged the showcase for homebuilts, adding every year to the attractions at Oshkosh. What Paul Poberezny had accomplished in creating the homebuilt movement, Tom took to the next level, imbuing the culture with unimpeachable integrity. He did that by maintaining and fusing Paul’s exacting standards for cleanliness, neatness, family values and safety. He was well trained. Tom had grown up in the EAA/homebuilding environment. With the exception of five years at Northwestern University, Tom’s life, from the cradle up to his retirement last year, was surrounded by aviation, homebuilders, fly-ins and an endless stream of visitors in his home who rarely discussed anything that didn’t have some kind of connection to aviation, usually homebuilding.

  • 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.

  • Intersections: a History of Chamorro Nurse-Midwives in Guam and a 'Placental Politics' for Indigenous Feminism
    Intersections: A History of Chamorro Nurse-Midwives in Guam and a 'Placental Politics' for Indigenous Feminism Intersections: Gender and Sexuality in Asia and the Pacific Issue 37, March 2015 A History of Chamorro Nurse-Midwives in Guam and a 'Placental Politics' for Indigenous Feminism Christine Taitano DeLisle Introduction: Stories of the embodied Chamorro landscapes of Guam's pattera 1. Among the well-known generative narratives of pre-World War II Guam are stories of the island's native nurse-midwives, the pattera.[1] Chamorro Capuchin priest and historian, Eric Forbes, shared one such story in his recounting of a conversation he had with a Chamorro man who spoke of his intense loyalty to the village where he had lived as a child over the village where he lived most of his adult life. When asked why this was the case, the man replied, 'Siempre nai sa' guihe nai ma håfot i toayå-ho!' (Certainly, because that's where they buried my towel!).[2] It was in this context that Pale' (Father) Eric learned of the pattera practice of burying the placenta (in Chamorro, the påres) and of the deep cultural meanings behind this ritual: The man was pointing to the physical and emotional connection he had with the soil of his native village; something intimately connected with his life in the womb was buried there. In his mind, he literally became part of the soil of his village. 2. The meanings and effects inherent in such practice and ritual is as tåhdong (deep) as it is multiple and varied. At one level, as Pale' Eric discerns, we see a profound connection between Chamorros and the land, such that landscapes become palpable and visceral so as to 'speak' to Chamorros in ways that, literally and figuratively, root them in the soil and tie them to the land.

Guam Museum Permanent Exhibition Overview History of the Guam Museum The Guam Museum, officially called the Senator Antonio M. Palomo Guam and CHamoru Educational Facility, is the first structure built for the sole purpose of housing and displaying Guam’s precious historic treasures. The Guam Museum reflects the diversity, creativity, and resilience of the people of Guam and the Mariana Islands. The permanent exhibition is the story of the CHamoru people, told from a CHamoru perspective. It is hoped to encourage people to engage in dialogue, to share perspectives and experiences and debate issues that concern us all today. I Hale’ta: Mona yan Tatte: 90 Years in the Making The earliest printed record of people making plans for a new museum dates back to 1926. The Guam Teachers Association, led by Ramon M. Sablan, a teacher best known as the author of the “Guam Hymn,” asked residents and friends of Guam to start collecting their antiques and other artifacts for a museum that would protect their history and CHamoru culture. The editor of the Guam Recorder, one of the earliest publications printed and circulated on Guam, also called for the opening of a museum.
