Biographical Note Hans Groenhoff (1906-1985) was born and educated in Germany, but emigrated to the United States in 1927. Residing in New York City, Groenhoff pursued his interest in aviation and photography. Following in the footsteps of his brother Günther, a famous aviator and pioneer glider pilot in Germany, Hans Groenhoff became an active glider pilot in the nearby Elmira, New York, area, nurturing a lifelong fascination with clouds and aerial photography. Groenhoff's photography career took off when he inherited two cameras following the death of his brother in a glider accident in 1932; he went on to work as a photographer, journalist, editor, and correspondent, with his photographs and articles published in mainstream magazines such as Life, Colliers, Esquire, National Geographic, and The Saturday Evening Post, as well as aviation publications such as Air Trails Pictorial, Sportsman Pilot, Aero Digest, and especially Flying and Popular Aviation, for whom he was a regular correspondent. Groenhoff also shot advertising and publicity photography for aircraft manufacturers and the U.S. Army Air Forces. Following the death of his first wife, Fridel Barth, in 1954, Groenhoff moved to the Miami, Florida, area to take advantage of better weather for photographing aircraft. In 1956, Groenhoff married Frances Semman, who assisted him in his work. In his retirement years, Groenhoff was employed by the Bahamas Government to promote the Islands as a tourist destination for private and sport aviation, founding their popular "Bahamas Flying Treasure Hunt" events which ran annually for several years. Hans Groenhoff's aviation photography career is documented in the book Focus on Flight: The Aviation Photography of Hans Groenhoff by E. T. Woodridge (Smithsonian Institution, 1985). Scope and Contents This collection consists of Groenhoff's collection of negatives and transparencies, spanning his career from 1933 to 1975, and includes images of military and civilian aircraft and events, glider and sailplane activities, air shows and races, airlines and airports, weather (clouds) and aerial images. Arrangement Series 1: 1962 Acquisition, approximately 24,250 images; photography made by Groenhoff in the period 1933 to 1962, consists of mixed medium format black-and-white negative single-sheet or cut-frame roll film (Subseries 1, HGA), 35mm black-and-white roll film (Subseries 2, HGD), and mixed medium format color transparency (positive) film (Subseries 3, HGC), as well as black-and-white print enlargements made by the Smithsonian of selected images. Also included in this series are a small number of posed portraits of Groenhoff at work. Series 2: 1984 Acquisition (HGB), approximately 1,300 images; photography made by Groenhoff in the 1960s and 1970s, primarily during his employment with the Bahamas Ministry of Tourism, consists of mixed format black-and-white and color roll film and a small number of 35mm color slides. Page 2 of 104 Hans Groenhoff Photographic Collection NASM.XXXX.0359 Series 3: "Focus On Flight" Exhibit and Book Materials. This small series consists of mixed materials (copy photography and documents) used in the creation of the NASM exhibit, Focus on Flight: Four Decades of Aerial Photography (Rudy Arnold and Hans Groenhoff) (November 1984 through September 1985), and the related book by curator E. T. (Tim) Wooldridge, Focus on Flight: The Aviation Photography of Hans Groenhoff, published for the National Air and Space Museum by Smithsonian Institution Press (Washington, D.C.), 1985. Names and Subject Terms This collection is indexed in the online catalog of the Smithsonian Institution under the following terms: Subjects: Aerial photography Aeronautics Aeronautics -- Competitions Aeronautics, Commercial -- United States Aeronautics, Military Air pilots Airlines Airports Airships Gliders Seaplanes Women air pilots World War, 1939-1945 Types of Materials: Aerial Photographs Photographs Names: Groenhoff, Hans Page 3 of 104 Series 1: 1962 Acquisition Hans Groenhoff Photographic Collection NASM.XXXX.0359 Container Listing Series 1: 1962 Acquisition, 1933-1962 Subseries 1: Black and White Sheet Film (HGA) Mixed group of 4 x 5 inch, 2.25 x 3.25 inch, and 2.25 x 2.25 inch black-and-white negative sheet film (or cut frames of roll film), with some single-frame negatives cut from 35mm black-and-white negative roll film. NOTE: While this is predominantly a black-and-white subseries, it does include some 4 x 5 inch, 2.25 x 3.25 inch, and 2.25 x 2.25 inch color transparency (positive) film. A small selection of images from this subseries have been digitized as examples. HGA Film Section The film is arranged in numerical order by image number. Note that boxes in this section are titled with number ranges; not all individual numbers within a given range may have a corresponding piece of film. Occasionally a single piece of film contains two frames—in these cases, each frame has been numbered separately but the film is housed in a single envelope. Subjects appear to be in groups that probably reflect Groenhoff's original subject headings; aircraft tend to be grouped by manufacturer and model. A partial subject listing—probably created by National Air Museum in 1962—has been used to add subjects to the box listing below. Box 1 HGA Sheet Film, HGA-100001 to HGA-100499 Box 1, Folder 1 Sport Gliders, HGA-100001 to HGA-100499 Image(s) Box 2 HGA Sheet Film, HGA-100500 to HGA-101050 Box 2, Folder 1 Sport Gliders, HGA-100500 to HGA-100858 Box 2, Folder 2 Military Gliders (1 of 2), HGA-100859 to HGA-101050 Box 3 HGA Sheet Film, HGA-101051 to HGA-101799 Subjects in this box include "Old Engines", Lockheed P-38 Lightning aircraft, Goodyear airships, the Aircraft Industries Association, the National Business Aircraft Association, and "People in Aviation."

And while the new approach may not make passing the knowledge tests easier, it will make the whole experience more meaningful. Gone are questions about outdated topics including automatic direction fi nder/ nondirectional beacon (ADF/NDB); radar summary charts; the En Route Flight Advisory Service (EFAS); medevac; and transcribed weather broadcasts (TWEB). The FAA has also deleted questions that required the use of non-standard scales for measurements or calculations, and questions that required pilots to interpolate across multiple charts to determine weather or aircraft performance.

  • 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.

Her father was a railroad attorney, and the family moved around while Amelia was a child. She worked as a nurse’s aide at Spadina Military Hospital in Toronto, Canada, during World War I, and then enrolled as a premedical student at Columbia University in New York. However, her parents then insisted that she move to California where they were living. In California she started taking flying lessons in 1921. With the help of her sister Muriel and her mother, Amy Otis Earhart, she bought her first airplane, a second-hand Kinner Airster, in 1922. After her parents’ divorce, Amelia moved to Boston, Massachusetts, where in 1928 she was selected by her future husband, the publisher George Palmer Putnam, to be the first female passenger on a transatlantic flight.
