    International Aerobatic Club CHAPTER 38 January 2010 Newsletter PREZ POST Happy New Years! First of all, I would like to welcome everyone to 2010. It seems like each year goes by faster and faster. 2009 was a very difficult year for the economy, aerobatic community, Quisque .03 and air show industry. Like many of you, I’m looking forward to a much brighter year. The economy seems to be turning around, aircraft are starting to trade hands, and camps are starting to get scheduled. Unlike the rest of the country, the Bay Area weather has been rather calm, Cory Lovell allowing many of us the opportunity to get in a few practice President, Ch 38 sessions. I’ve also talked to several members who are taking the winter months to change out radios, upgrade engines, and fix the little things kept getting pushed out because of a contest. Integer .05 Continued on Page 2………. Issue [#]: [Issue Date] Continued from Page 1……. As you may have noticed, this is the first newsletter in a couple of months. With the unfortunate loss of Che Barnes and the retirement of Peter Jensen, we did not have anyone come forward to help with the Newsletter (we’re still looking for a couple volunteers). 2009 was also a crazy year for me, hence the fact I haven’t been able to get out a newsletter. I left my job in September to travel to Spain, then over to Germany of Oktoberfest. I also took some time to put together a website for Sukhoi Aerobatics and spend some time doing formation aerobatics training with Bill Stein and Russ Piggott.

  • Wilson Air Center Hosts Legendary Bob Hoover As Timeless Voice of Aviation
    Contact: Dave Ivey Vice President Wilson Air Center Phone: 901-345-2992 Email: [email protected] Wilson Air Center Hosts Legendary Bob Hoover As Timeless Voice of Aviation Memphis, Tennessee – April 27, 2007 –Wilson Air Center treated aviation enthusiasts to a rare and memorable evening for “Timeless Voices of Aviation.” Bob Hoover, a notable pilot, aerobatics champion and aviation icon spoke during the week of April 8th, drawing in pilots, airport officials, and professional aviators to all three Wilson Air Center locations in Memphis, Charlotte and Houston. Aviation enthusiasts listened intently as the legend told unique stories from his life and infancy of aviation. Hoover spoke of his flying and time spent as a POW in WWII, the Cold War, and the X-1 program. Audience members waited eagerly to have a chance to speak one on one with Hoover after the event, where he autographed pictures and copies of his book, Forever Flying. Hoover, born in 1922, was a World War II combat fighter pilot. Captured and made a prisoner of war, he escaped from a German prison camp by “liberating” a Luftwaffe Focke-Wulf and flying it to safety in the Netherlands. He is better known for being a test pilot and air show performer. He’s flown more than 300 types of aircraft and performed at more than 2,500 civilian and military air shows. His flying performances are legendary in the air show circuit. Hoover spoke of these experiences at Wilson Air Center, Houston on April 10, Memphis, April 11, and Charlotte, April 12. “Timeless Voices of Aviation” comes on the heels of founder and president of Wilson Air Center, Robert A.

  • NEWSLETTER President's Report
    July 2015 IAC38NEWSLETTER President’s Report Bob Hoover is very excited to get his very own copy of Sport Aerobatics with the Nice Pitts article autographed by Beth. Beth, Bob and Kim Furst, director of "Flying the Feathered Edge: the Bob Hoover Project" You Say Selfish Like It’s a BAD Thing “Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.” - Howard Thurman I overheard a member at our last chapter meeting state how he thought flying aerobatics was one of the most selfish things a person could possibly participate in. I’ve heard other variations of this particular sentiment: aerobatic pilots are self-centered, self- absorbed, are in it all for themselves, do not give back, blah, blah, blah. (continued) 1 A Radical Notion Nobody is born to be the keeper of YOU. Everyone is in this life for themselves. And this is not a bad thing. Everyone has a source within them that is guiding them to their best interest. Everyone has a personal GPS and is being called toward an improved life experience. If everyone, or most of them or some of them are hearing the call and moving toward it, can you imagine how magnificent this world would become? –Ester Hicks You cannot be anything but selfish. I realize this is an emotionally charged concept and indignant hackles may be already rising, but hang in here with me. Embracing the self-ness part of selfish allows you to navigate toward your passion, mission, vocation and profession; your PURPOSE.
