(September 15) TRIBUTE TO JOE BELLINO 48 HISTORY OF THE SIMSBURY FLY-IN BY BILL THOMAS hose of you old enough to remember the early 1980’s may recall that a postage stamp cost 22 cents, gas was $1.09 per Tgallon, and “Back To The Future” was a hit movie. What you may not recall, however, is a sunny September morning when a small group of pilots brought their airplanes to Simsbury Airport for a few hours of socializing and bragging. And so began the Simsbury Fly-In. Those first few pilots had such a good time that they decided to meet again the following year. Word spread within the local aviation community. The next year drew a somewhat larger number of airplanes. As the years unfolded, the Simsbury Fly-In grew and grew. By the late 1980’s, it could no longer be held on a casual basis, and began to require advance planning. A team was formed to organize the event. Someone suggested that the general public might enjoy see- ing the beautiful airplanes and talking with their owners, so the event was opened to spectators. That turned out to be a great decision because it supported our goal of bringing grassroots aviation to public awareness. It allowed us to show the benefits of Simsbury airport to everyone in the local community. As our growth continued over the years, several important aviation organizations asked to be involved. One of them was the Antique Aircraft Association, which encouraged the display of old - sometimes very old - aircraft. The Experimental Aircraft Association’s local Chapter 324 soon joined as a sponsor, adding a focus on homebuilt aircraft. As the years passed, the event began to attract virtually every kind of airplane. Look around you today and you will see experimental aircraft, antiques, small ex-military airplanes, helicopters, ultralights, amphibians, brand new models, and lots of factory-built airplanes. We’ve had virtually no problems with weather, but one such occasion in the mid-1990’s turned out to be a gift. The weather was too poor to allow airplanes to fly in or out. Some enterprising antique car owners showed up to display their autos. That gave the spectators something interesting to look at, and virtually saved the day. It was the beginning of the combined airplane and car show that you see now. Ever since then, the display of autos of almost every kind has been a major fea- ture of our event, and a great crowd-pleaser. (Continued next page) IMAGE CREDIT: BILL THOMAS BILL IMAGE CREDIT: simsburyflyin.com 1 HISTORY OF THE SIMSBURY FLY-IN (CONTINUED) Our event attracts old cars of discontinued brands, new exotic autos, muscle cars, hot rods, type-clubs, trucks, ambulances, antique fire engines, and former military vehicles. As you might imagine, cars and airplanes both hold appeal for do-it-yourselfers and for anyone interested in sophisticated machines. Then came 9/11/2001. In the immediate aftermath of that horrific day, all flights were banned from the skies over the US. It appeared that the Fly-In would have to be cancelled. Gradually, however, the FAA re-opened the airways. As luck would have it, the Fly-In was scheduled for one of the first days after flying was again permitted. We were able to hold the event, and were grateful for that opportunity to help re-establish our message that aviation is a safe and valuable asset for our country. Over the past decade, our event has continued to grow and prosper. We attract over 10,000 spectators annually. More than 600 beautiful airplanes and autos are on display, arriving here from all around the Northeast and locations hun- dreds of miles away. We are featured in regional and national publications. Our show is often broadcast live by local TV and FM stations. We provide free seminars by nationally renowned speakers. Our many sponsors, advertisers, and exhibi- tors from local and national businesses recognize this venue as a great place to market their products. As many as 150 volunteers assist us. Many are not otherwise associated with aviation or autos. They help because it’s a great way to spend a fall day and to further a good cause. Our show would not be possible without them. Our hats are off to our faithful volunteers, without whom we simply could not operate. Friends who recognize the major and year-long effort that goes into the organization of this event often ask why we do it. There are several answers. First and foremost, we love aviation (and cars!), and want to share that enjoyment with others. At a very practical level, this event is a primary source of revenue that keeps Simsbury Airport alive. We receive no financial backing from the Town, State or Federal Government. All of our operating expenses are covered by funds that we raise ourselves by selling fuel, renting office space in our building, fees from airplanes based here, and from the Fly-In and Car Show. The Simsbury Flying Club, which leases the property and operates the airport, is an all-volunteer organization. None of us receive salaries. All of us pitch in to help maintain the airport. It is a labor of love. We are all proud of our long history that has made this the largest event of its kind in New England. We thank you for attending. Come back next year !

    The Connecticut Airport Authority The Connecticut Airport Authority (CAA) was established as a quasi-public agency in 2011 to own, improve, and operate Bradley International Airport and the five state-owned general aviation airports (Danielson, Groton-New London, Hartford-Brainard, Waterbury-Oxford, and Windham). The CAA strives to provide excellent customer service and top-quality facilities for its passengers while making Connecticut’s airports more attractive to new airlines, establishing new routes, and supporting Connecticut’s overall economic development and growth strategy. The CAA’s five general aviation airports are also crucial components of the state’s overall transportation system, providing access to corporate aircraft, local pilots, and convenient charter service for regional businesses. Already, the CAA has achieved numerous milestones, including the addition of new Bradley service to Dublin (Ireland), Los Angeles, Pittsburgh, Fort Myers, Houston, Tampa and Washington, D.C. The Airports: Bradley International Airport Bradley International Airport (BDL) is a civil/military airport in Windsor Locks, Connecticut. Owned and operated by the Connecticut Airport Authority, it is the second-largest airport in New England. The airport is about halfway between Hartford and Springfield.

  • Airman Transition to Experimental Or Unfamiliar Airplanes
    U.S. Department Advisory of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration Circular Subject: Airmen Transition to Experimental or Date: 3/30/11 AC No: 90-109 Unfamiliar Airplanes Initiated by: AFS-800 Change: 1. PURPOSE. This advisory circular (AC) provides information and guidance to owners and pilots of experimental airplanes and to flight instructors who teach in these airplanes. This information and guidance contains recommendations for training experience for pilots of experimental airplanes in a variety of groupings based on performance and handling characteristics. This AC does not address the testing of newly built experimental airplanes. The current edition of AC 90-89, Amateur-Built Aircraft and Ultralight Flight Testing Handbook, provides information on such testing. However, if a pilot is planning on participating in a flight- test program in an unfamiliar experimental airplane, this AC should be used to develop the skills and knowledge necessary to safely accomplish the test program using AC 90-89. This AC may also be useful in planning the transition to any unfamiliar fixed-wing airplanes, including type- certificated (TC) airplanes. 2. BACKGROUND. a. Experimental Airplanes. The experimental airplane community is an important part of the civil aviation industry in the United States; some of aviation’s greatest technological achievements were developed by amateur airplane builders. The amateur builder community is foundational to General Aviation (GA) in the United States (U.S.); however, recent trends in experimental airplane accidents have indicated a need for increased effort to ensure the preparation of pilots for the challenges of these airplanes. Historically, experimental airplane flight operations represent a small component of flight hours, but a significant percentage of GA accidents.
