Biographical/Historical Note: (This biographical sketch was provided by the donor himself and is presented here with only minor editing.) Roger Miller (b. 1933) was born and raised in Middletown, Ohio. In about the 10th grade, Miller began spending much of his time at Middletown’s Hook Field Municipal Airport. This led to his helping aircraft owners work on and clean their airplanes, which in turn led to receiving some aircraft rides in return. As soon as he was old enough, the airport fixed base operator (George Wedekind) put Miller to work after school and on the weekends. As soon as he could, Miller learned to fly and received his private pilot license before finishing high school. Miller wanted to be involved with airplanes, either flying or working on them. He spent almost five years in the Air Force as a jet engine mechanic. After getting out of the service, he got married, and it was not very long before his ideas about flying or working on airplanes as a career went away. Miller spent 30 years in the maintenance organization at Armco/AK Steel before retiring as a shift manager. Miller continued his interest in aviation by mostly taking or collecting photographs of airplanes. As that interest developed, he also became very much interested in local and area history. Miller has done some writing on local history as well as some on aviation history and automobiles built in the Middletown area. Along with others, he put together three books for Arcadia Publishing, wrote a weekly (2000-2015) local history column for the Middletown Journal (now part of the Hamilton Journal-News). He has done a lot of work on photograph collections holdings at the the MidPointe Library System (Middletown Public Library), a project he started in the summer of 1999 with the library’s receiving the George C. Crout Middletown history collection. Other collections have been added to this one, and Miller has been involved in digitizing, describing, and adding material to the library’s web site. Roger Miller presently lives in a retirement community in Monroe, Ohio, with his wife. MS-500: Roger Miller Aviation Slide Collection 2 Scope and Content: The collection consists mainly of color photographic slides depicting aircraft, mostly civilian planes, with content dates spanning 1926 to 1993; however, the bulk of the material dates between 1959 and 1988. The slides were in most cases created, and in some cases collected from others, by Roger Miller. Other collectors or photographers whose images are represented in the collection include Andrew Zilliox and George “JR” Wedekind. The images primarily depict the exteriors of aircraft (mainly fixed wing airplanes) but to a lesser extent, images occasionally depict pilots, aircraft workers, cockpits, structural details, hangars, or air show visitors or displays. For the most part, aircraft are shown on the ground at air fields, usually ones located in the Miami Valley region of Ohio, especially Middletown and Hamilton, as well as Dayton, Moraine, Cincinnati, and other Ohio cities. Other locations throughout the United States, as well as Japan and Korea, are also represented. The collection is arranged in a single series of photographic slides, organized according to the donor’s original order and filing system, including a file number, reel number, and slide number. Where possible or relevant, an airplane’s registration number, year of manufacture, maker, model, serial number, and engine information have been included in the item listing. Individual item descriptions provided by the donor is included in the front of most folders. These descriptions may provide additional information about photograph location, photographer or collector (if different than Miller), or the airplane owner (if known). Information is sometimes written on the cardboard casing of the slide itself as well. Of particular note in the collection is an original Piper Sales Kit, dating to about 1953 or 1954, including several stereoviews (depicting primarily Piper PA-20, PA-22, or PA-23), original stereoviewer, and metal travel case. A kit such as this one would have been carried by aircraft salesmen.

  • Aviation Activity Forecasts
    SOUTHWEST WASHINGTON REGIONAL AIRPORT AIRPORT MASTER PLAN Chapter 3 – Aviation Activity Forecasts The overall goal of aviation activity forecasting is to provide reasonable projections of future activity that can be translated into specific airport facility needs anticipated during the next twenty years and beyond. The first draft of this chapter was prepared in January 2018. Following FAA review, several revisions have been made, including updated based aircraft and aircraft operations forecasts. The original forecasts are maintained as originally presented for reference. Overview and Purpose This chapter provides updated aviation activity forecasts for Southwest Washington Regional Airport (KLS) for the twenty-year master plan horizon (2017-2037). The most recent Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) approved aviation activity forecasts for KLS were developed for the 2007-2027 planning period in the 2011 Airport Master Plan update. The forecasts presented in this chapter are consistent with the current and historic role of KLS as a regional general aviation airport, capable of accommodating a wide range of activity, including business class turboprops and jets. The well-documented shortage of public use airports in Southwest Washington with comparable capabilities, highlights the importance of recognizing the regional role of KLS in its current and long term planning. CHAPTER 3 - AVIATION ACTIVITY FORECASTS | DECEMBER 2020 | PAGE 3-1 SOUTHWEST WASHINGTON REGIONAL AIRPORT AIRPORT MASTER PLAN The forecasts of activity are unconstrained and assume the City of Kelso will be able to make the facility improvements necessary to accommodate the anticipated demand, unless specifically noted. The City of Kelso will consider if any unconstrained demand will not or cannot be reasonably met through the evaluation of airport development alternatives later in the master plan.

  • Cessna 172 in Flight 1964 Cessna 172E 1965 Cessna F172G
    Cessna 172 in flight 1964 Cessna 172E 1965 Cessna F172G 1971 Cessna 172 The 1957 model Cessna 172 Skyhawk had no rear window and featured a "square" fin design Airplane Cessna 172 single engine aircraft, flies overhead after becoming airborne. Catalina Island airport, California (KAVX) 1964 Cessna 172E (G- ASSS) at Kemble airfield, Gloucestershire, England. The Cessna 172 Skyhawk is a four-seat, single-engine, high-wing airplane. Probably the most popular flight training aircraft in the world, the first production models were delivered in 1957, and it is still in production in 2005; more than 35,000 have been built. The Skyhawk's main competitors have been the popular Piper Cherokee, the rarer Beechcraft Musketeer (no longer in production), and, more recently, the Cirrus SR22. The Skyhawk is ubiquitous throughout the Americas, Europe and parts of Asia; it is the aircraft most people visualize when they hear the words "small plane." More people probably know the name Piper Cub, but the Skyhawk's shape is far more familiar. The 172 was a direct descendant of the Cessna 170, which used conventional (taildragger) landing gear instead of tricycle gear. Early 172s looked almost identical to the 170, with the same straight aft fuselage and tall gear legs, but later versions incorporated revised landing gear, a lowered rear deck, and an aft window. Cessna advertised this added rear visibility as "Omnivision". The final structural development, in the mid-1960s, was the sweptback tail still used today. The airframe has remained almost unchanged since then, with updates to avionics and engines including (most recently) the Garmin G1000 glass cockpit.

  • Aviation Activity Forecasts BOWERS FIELD AIRPORT AIRPORT MASTER PLAN
    Chapter 3 – Aviation Activity Forecasts BOWERS FIELD AIRPORT AIRPORT MASTER PLAN Chapter 3 – Aviation Activity Forecasts The overall goal of aviation activity forecasting is to prepare forecasts that accurately reflect current conditions, relevant historic trends, and provide reasonable projections of future activity, which can be translated into specific airport facility needs anticipated during the next twenty years and beyond. Introduction This chapter provides updated forecasts of aviation activity for Kittitas County Airport – Bowers Field (ELN) for the twenty-year master plan horizon (2015-2035). The most recent FAA-approved aviation activity forecasts for Bowers Field were prepared in 2011 for the Airfield Needs Assessment project. Those forecasts evaluated changes in local conditions and activity that occurred since the previous master plan forecasts were prepared in 2000, and re-established base line conditions. The Needs Assessment forecasts provide the “accepted” airport-specific projections that are most relevant for comparison with the new master plan forecasts prepared for this chapter. The forecasts presented in this chapter are consistent with Bowers Field’s current and historic role as a community/regional general aviation airport. Bowers Field is the only airport in Kittitas County capable of accommodating a full range of general aviation activity, including business class turboprops and business jets. This level of capability expands the airport’s role to serve the entire county and the local Ellensburg community. The intent is to provide an updated set of aviation demand projections for Bowers Field that will permit airport management to make the decisions necessary to maintain a viable, efficient, and cost-effective facility that meets the area’s air transportation needs.
