Volunteering not only provides for good company and camaraderie, but it also gives us a chance to visit many of Idaho’s premier aviation destinations and keeps the use of our back country strips alive. This is why I am a member of the Idaho Aviation Association (IAA). In July 2010, the IAA participated in a work party at the Big Creek airport. We removed ground squirrels, which have been wreaking havoc on the airstrip, mowed the runway and set a Cameron, Darren, Jennifer, and Austin Vaughn date to begin watering.

  • Despite the Devastating Tragedy of the 9/11 Terrorist Attack on This
    General Aviation Airports Pose a Threat to National Security Nearly eleven years have elapsed since that fateful September day when Mohammed Atta commandeered American Airlines Flight 11 and crashed it into the North Tower of the World Trade Center.1 A few minutes later fellow terrorist Marwan al Shehhi steered United Airlines Flight 175 into the South Tower.2 Both Atta and Shehhi obtained pilot's licenses and received large jet flight simulator instruction at Huffman Aviation in Venice Florida. They also trained at Jones Aviation in Sarasota, Florida.3 Hani Hanjour, who piloted American Airlines Flight 77 into the Pentagon, was rejected from a flight school in his home country before receiving pilot training in the U.S. After being turned away by the flight school in Saudi Arabia he was accepted at Arizona Aviation. From there he went on to obtain both a private and Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) issued commercial pilot certification. Hanjour then returned to Saudi Arabia where he was denied admission to a civil aviation school. Upon returning to the U.S. Hanjour trained on a Boeing 737 simulator at the Pan Am International Flight Academy in Mesa, Arizona.4 He also trained and practiced at Air Fleet Training Systems in Teterboro, New Jersey, and Caldwell Flight Academy in Fairfield, New Jersey.5 United Airlines Flight 93, which crashed short of its presumed Washington DC target, came down in a field in Pennsylvania. This aircraft was piloted by Ziad Jarrah6 who received his private pilot training at the Florida Flight Training Center in Venice, Florida.7 In addition he trained at the Hortman Aviation,8 a training school which serves the Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware region.9 Within the space of seventy-seven minutes, terrorists transformed four commercial aircraft into weapons of mass destruction.

  • What Is Communities in Motion?
    1 What is Communities in Motion? 2 3 Communities in Motion is the regional long-range transportation plan for Ada County and Canyon 4 County. With the support of the Idaho Transportation Department (ITD), it also considers regional 5 transportation corridors in Boise, Elmore, Gem, and Payette Counties. The plan supports a vision, 6 goals, a new transportation/land use scenario, and a commitment to enhancing regional corridors. 7 8 The major reason for Communities in Motion is to promote a future transportation system that supports 9 the type of community we want, identifies funding needs, and protects corridors. In addition the 10 federal government requires that COMPASS, as the metropolitan planning organization (MPO) for 11 the urbanized areas in Ada County and Canyon County, prepare a regional long-range transportation 12 plan to enable federal funding for roads, transit and pathways in our region. This plan needs to be 13 updated at least every four years. 14 15 COMPASS began the planning process in late 2003. In early 2004, in an effort to plan transportation 16 systems that meet the needs of the growing communities in the Treasure Valley, COMPASS 17 partnered with ITD to expand the planning area to include Boise, Elmore, Gem, and Payette 18 Counties – in addition to Ada County and Canyon County. The partnership between COMPASS, its 19 members, local governments in the region, and ITD was an innovative approach that evaluated 20 various transportation modes and policies for maintenance, improvements, and development. This 21 process enabled true regional planning in Southwest Idaho. 22 23 Communities in Motion Vision and Goals 24 We envision a Treasure Valley where quality of life is enhanced and communities are connected by an 25 innovative, effective, multi-modal transportation system.

  • National Transportation Safety Board Aviation Accident Preliminary Report
    National Transportation Safety Board Aviation Accident Preliminary Report Location: Cascade, ID Accident Number: WPR17LA195 Date & Time: 09/02/2017, 1030 MDT Registration: N65EW Aircraft: WALKER EDGAR E GLASTAR Injuries: 1 Fatal, 1 Serious Flight Conducted Under: Part 91: General Aviation - Personal On September 2, 2017, about 1030 mountain daylight time, an experimental amateur-built Glastar GS-1, N65EW, was destroyed when it impacted terrain during maneuvering flight above a federal wilderness about 15 miles east-southeast of Cascade, Idaho. The private pilot was seriously injured, and his pilot-rated passenger was fatally injured. The personal flight was conducted under the provisions of 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed. According to the previous owner ("the seller") of the airplane, he lived in Idaho and based the airplane at Nampa Municipal Airport (MAN), Nampa, Idaho. About two weeks before the accident, he sold the airplane to another individual ("the buyer") who lived in Georgia. Several days before the accident, the buyer notified the seller that he was having a friend of his, who also lived in Georgia, come to Idaho to pick up the airplane and fly it back to Georgia. On September 1, the pilot met the seller at MAN to complete the transfer of the airplane. The seller offered to fly with the pilot in order to familiarize him with the airplane, but said that he could only do that if the seller could fly from the left seat, since he had never flown from the right seat. Alternatively, the seller also offered to provide a certified flight instructor (CFI) if the pilot preferred to fly from the left seat; the pilot opted for this course of action.

To the pioneers: a memorial in your honor was dedicated this last summer at the Bird Aviation Museum in Sagle, Idaho. The following is a quote from that memorial: Women Air Force Service Pilots (WASP) attend the special dedication at the Bird Aviation Museum in Sagle, Idaho. Photos courtesy of Charles Ballo. Women of Courage Dedicated to the 1,102 pioneering Women Air Force Service Pilots (WASP) who flew bomber, fighter, transport, cargo, drone, liaison, and training aircraft in defense of America’s Freedom in World War II. These female civilian pilots, under the command of the U.S. Army Air Forces, flew more than 60,000,000 miles for their country while facing incredible cultural and gender bias against women in nontraditional roles. The WASP forever changed the role of women in aviation. Dedicated to the Women Accepted for Volunteer Emergency Service (WAVES), Women’s Army Corps (WACS), Women Marines (USMCWR), Women Coast Guard (SPARS), Army Nurse Corps, Navy Nurse Corps, the civilian women (Rosie the Riveters) and others who have made significant contributions to our military–past, More than 1,000 WASPs flew present and future. in wartime service from 1942 to 1944.
