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. -

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. -

Tom Poberezny and the Maturing of EAA by David Gustafson
Tom Poberezny and the Maturing of EAA By David Gustafson When Tom Poberezny assumed the leadership of EAA as its second president in 1989, he brought a new set of skills, a fresh perspective and a determination to expand the EAA culture. As a result of what Tom brought to the table, EAA entered a new era. It matured. Tom’s professionalism slowly transformed the activities and the magazines to a broader mission, one that expanded on the concept of sport aviation, winning respect from pilots, the government, other organizations and the general public. Tom worked hard to create an environment in which homebuilding would be preserved. He sort of wrapped the movement into the larger cocoon of sport aviation, concurrently assuring that the essential freedoms for innovation, sharing, building and enjoying the tremendous sense of accomplishment that comes with parking a homebuilt on the flightline would be preserved and flourish. He enlarged the showcase for homebuilts, adding every year to the attractions at Oshkosh. What Paul Poberezny had accomplished in creating the homebuilt movement, Tom took to the next level, imbuing the culture with unimpeachable integrity. He did that by maintaining and fusing Paul’s exacting standards for cleanliness, neatness, family values and safety. He was well trained. Tom had grown up in the EAA/homebuilding environment. With the exception of five years at Northwestern University, Tom’s life, from the cradle up to his retirement last year, was surrounded by aviation, homebuilders, fly-ins and an endless stream of visitors in his home who rarely discussed anything that didn’t have some kind of connection to aviation, usually homebuilding. -
