Flying with an ACE
Center Spread: WACO MYSTERY SHIP WORLD $4.95A U.S./$6.95IRSHOW CAN. NEWSMarch/April 2008 Flying with an ACE • Who’s da (Air) Boss? • Wingwalking: Never! • The Starfighters Jet Team3 • 2008 Al Ain Aerobatic Show ... and Lots More! www.airshowmag.com World Airshow News 1 FLYING WITH AN ACE Greg Koontz & Sky Country Lodge By Jeff Parnau I’ve flown with Greg Koontz a number of times. He took me up in the Pitts Model 12 a few years ago – a beast of an airplane with a ra- dial engine that turns “the wrong way.” I give him a ride in my Cirrus. And I was in his Piper Cub for a landing on a moving pickup truck. In late 2007, I decided it was time to get a bit more serious about aerobatic flight. And about that time, Greg (an Aerobatic Competency Evaluator, or ACE) became the 14th person certified by the National Association of Flight Instructors as Master CFI-Aerobatic. We ar- ranged a date, and headed to Ashville, Alabama on November 13. A little over three years ago, Greg and spouse Cora began con- struction of Sky Country Lodge – a bed-and-breakfast flight school located on an isolated grass strip near Birmingham. The lodge is a beautiful open-concept design, with two private bedrooms with baths for Greg’s typical workload of two students at a time. The hangar houses Greg’s 1946 Piper Cub (used in his comedy act) and nearly-new Super Decathlon, in which he teaches. My early aero- batic experience was in the same make and model. -

Aerobatics means many things to people. For Sean and Patty, aerobatics means air shows and maneuvers such as the “Tucker Upper” or “Centrifuge.” For others, aerobatics means competition and pre- cision fl ying. For most pilots, aerobatics means loops and rolls.

I hope by now that all our members have noticed how nice the grounds look at the field. As I have mentioned in previous letters; all members need to practice good maintenance while onsite. Picking up cigarette butts, empty water bottles, etc. If you see weeds… pull them. We all need to chip in. That also includes adding a few bucks to your membership renewals. The extra maintenance dollars really help our field quite a bit. Every little bit helps. Remember the field will be closed for the “One Eighth Air Force Scale Fly In” on October 18‐19. Friday the 17th, you will notice those folks setting up shop. The field will be open to our members Friday but be courteous to the activities around you. -

The Doolittle Raiders Doolittle's Tokyo Raiders America's First Response to Pearl Harbor On April 18, 1942, 16 B-25 Mitchell medium bombers launched from the deck of the USS Hornet to attack Japan. Led by Lt. Col. James H. Doolittle, the daring mission was America’s first response to Pearl Harbor and stands as one of the most courageous events of World War II. Although the raid caused minimal damage, American morale soared from the depths to which it had plunged following the Pearl Harbor attack. The surprise attack on the previously untouched home islands of Japan is considered by many historians to be a primary cause of the Japanese decisions that led to their defeat at the Battle of Midway only six weeks later. Planning for the raid was one of the most closely held secrets and the Japanese did not learn how the raid was conducted until after the war was over. Thirteen of the 80 men on the raid were from Texas, more than from any other state. §110.24.
