This year you proved me wrong again! The Pacific Coast Air Museum Air Show excelled in every aspect; the performances, the timing, static displays, announcements, traffic control and parking, the Pilot’s Tent and so many others. I can only imagine how hard you and your folks work in planning for and implementing this very significant contribution to avia- tion and Sonoma County. I am very impressed with the spirit of every one of the PCAM members and the host of volunteers. A big thanks to you and those who helped plan and carry out this memorable event. Sincerely, Jim Eade, General, United States Air Force (Retired) Air Show Survivor’s BBQ We had one terrific Air Show. By every measure, it was the best ever. Now, for those members who helped put on our Air Show, the Survivor’s BBQ is a chance to relax, pat ourselves on the back, tell “war stories”, and have a good time without all the stress of Air Show prep, or Air Show day, or Air Show take down, or Air Show put away. DATE: Saturday, September 22nd PLACE: East Patio, Pacific Coast Air Museum TIME: 3:00 PM until ??? (we have lights now!!). We will supply the meat, bread, salad, wine, beer, and soft drinks and water.

  • 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.
