Angeles City Flying Club I guess the most important news for the year is that www.angelesflying.com/ our lease on the Flying Club is due to expire at the Aero Club end of this year. It is early days yet but we think we www.groups.yahoo.com/group/Aero_Club/ have a plan in place that will allow the smooth Yahoo Groups ACFC transition of the flying club to ownership by our www.groups.yahoo.com/group/acflyingclub/ members. We have taken steps to let everyone know Al Malcolm’s Yankin’ and Bankin’ what is going on in the last newsletter and also by www.yankinandbankin.com sending out a brief note asking interested members ACFC Newsletter Page 1 to request the formal prospectus (if interested in but should be a pleasant and easy aircraft for our S- putting funds into the Club).

What may seem to be a harmless bit of low flying or flying extreme maneuvers may lead to impact with obstacles (power lines) or an overstressed airframe which may fail when someone else is flying. Without going into ‘been there - done that’ stories, a sage reminder is that when I had done 50 hours flying, I used to fly at 50 feet; at 100 hours, I considered 100 feet an acceptably safe altitude. At 300 hours, 300 feet seemed like a much better idea!

I think I will be involved on the organizing committee again this year and we have already had a few meeting to discuss the events, venue and arrangements. We are to have our usual tented area to display our aircraft (static). Tony is busy having a second tent manufactured which, like the usual green tent, will serve us well, not only for the Balloon Fiesta but also for other club events and shows. Much work goes into the Fiesta; if you haven’t been to one, it is well worth the effort. We get to fly a couple of times per day and our stand always generates a lot of interest in ACFC and what we do. Gary Gerome and Boy Guevarra manned the fort back at Woodland last year and did not participate in the flying events at Clark. Hopefully, someone else will volunteer to fly the TIF’s at Woodland and allow these two senior pilots to participate in our event activities. We need more people to help us man the stand and participate in the flying activities; so please volunteer your time and effort to make this year a great success for us and to contribute to the great spectacle of the Hot Air Balloon Fiesta. ACFC Newsletter Page 3 New Members 2010 has been a great year for the club in terms of increasing our membership. This year, we have over 30 new members. On more than one occasion, I have said that to sustain our club, we need more new members who are not only going to do the training program and get their wings, but stay with the club for years to come either buying their own aircraft (or a share in one) or flying our club aircraft and participating in club activities. This year particularly, we have added a real international mix of folks from around the globe. We welcome Adrian Halley from New Zealand and Stephen Clemenson from Essex, U.K. Stephen is a Hong Kong stockbroker who has been coming to the club for five months. He is the last person to have soloed this year taking the controls of RP-S1457 on Sunday 5th December, 2010. Another Brit, Mark Groundsell is an engineer with 63 hours on his PPL and some previous ultralight experience. As many of you already know, we have a great website that is creating a lot of interest.
