Send articles or pictures to [email protected]. Our next meeting is February 21st when Tracy Miller will talk about Young Eagles, Eagle Flights, and other youth programs available in our chapter. Come at 6pm for pizza for $5 donation and stay for the presentation at 7pm. Save the date for our next Pancake Breakfast. It will be April 13th and 14th, which is our Young Eagle weekend. Pancakes will be served from 8am until noon on Saturday and Sunday morning. Please email me at [email protected] with the shift you want to volunteer for. They are 7am-10am and 10am-1pm each day. Those volunteering for the second shift are asked to stay until everything is put away and cleaned. On Sunday, everything needs to be washed and put away. Please stay and help until everything is done, so a few people do not have to stay all afternoon or come back on Monday. We need a new Building Coordinator. Carl Bumpurs has been doing this for quite a few years and is retiring on March 1. We need someone willing to take over. Carl takes calls from people who are interested in renting our building. He gives them our rental cost structure, and if they want to see the building, he schedules a time for them to see it. If they want to rent, he gives them a contract to sign, then puts the rental on the chapter calendar. Then either Carl or another chapter volunteer works with the renter before, during and after the event. We have a list of volunteers who assist Carl and they will be able to help our new coordinator. Please consider this request. We have many chapter members who are willing to assist when someone is needed to work with the renters. Please call Carl at 262-497-6446 or Doug Doers at 414-852-6943 if you have any questions. We have a new Building maintenance Coordinator. He is Rodney Fields. Rodney thanks for taking this on. Rodney has also taken on the Chapter’s Facebook page. It is “EAA Chapter 838 of Racine, WI”. We would like all chapter members to like our Page. That way when someone updates the page, you will be notified of that update. We plan to have information about each meeting, as well as pictures.

Each year the EAA Chapter 838 president gets to select someone to receive the president’s award. For 2018, the recipient was Tracy Miller. Tracy has been our Young Eagles and Eagles coordinator for many years. She sends out emails to all pilots in the area before each rally asking for pilots to come and help us fly youth. Every second Saturday she drives here from Chicago and oversees the program. It is a tough job trying to get enough pilots to fly each month. For all you pilots receiving this, please consider flying. Try it once, and you may enjoy it. She was unable to attend the Holiday Party where our awards were awarded, but she received it at our board meeting in mid January. Here are a few Save the Dates: Young Eagle Rallies for 2019 will be the second Saturday from March through November. Pancake Breakfast April 13-14 Future Meetings February 21 – Tracy Miller will talk about Young Eagles, Eagle Flights, and other youth programs available in our chapter If you have any suggestions for future speakers, please contact Rick Goebel at [email protected] Rick is always looking for new ideas.

Ken Sack [email protected] 262-488-3807 Note from Jim Senft Jim Senft here. We (my high school program) are looking for the King A&P videos. Not sure if this is something that the EAA chapter 838 would have or if someone from your group of aviation friends might have. Thanks Jim Page 3 of 21 Chapter 838 History Lesson By Ken Sack At our Holiday Party in December, we had a ribbon cutting ceremony for the library. Scott Sherer spent numerous hours sifting the books and other items in the library. We still have a number of aviation books, so you can check them out. The Sunbird simulator is there and also available for chapter members. We dedicated the new, improved library for Quentin Rench for is donations to the original building and library. Scott was not aware of everything Quentin and his wife Barbie have done for the chapter during the early days of the chapter, and many of you may not know either. I did a little research, so here is a little history about their involvement. If anyone has any additional stories about members from the early days, write it up and send it to me. Here is the first of hopefully many articles about our early history. Chapter History Please notice the first page of this newsletter. You will see the logo and heading of the Chapter’s early newsletter. A group of aviation enthusiasts, led by Quinn Rench, organized Chapter 838 in September 1984. He subsequently acted as the chapter’s first president. Initially, Chapter 838 met in various locations around the Racine Area including member’s homes, hangars, and basements. The premier issue of the chapter newsletter Contact went to print in July of 1985. In December 1987 EAA Chapter 838 embarked on an ambitious building project: a permanent home for the chapter. On March 9, 1992, the chapter held a ground-breaking ceremony and began construction of one of the finest chapter facilities in the Experimental Aircraft Association. Also, that month, we signed the charter for the Southeast Wisconsin Aviation Museum and Hall of Fame. In 1999, we expanded the chapter building as part of our museum growth. Much of the chapter building was built by members. The classroom was a main portion of the building. Sam Johnson told me one summer day at the Aviation Explorer Base that he told chapter members that as part of any donation he would make for our building, the chapter would have to sponsor the Aviation Explorer Post. Johnson Wax was the original sponsor but was switched according to Sam’s wishes. He also told the chapter that they needed to build a classroom for the education programs that chapter would have. The operation and activities are member driven. The chapter is active in promoting aviation interests and education to the community at large. We are based at Batten Airport (RAC) in Racine, Wisconsin. Currently, we have more than 120 members, many with family memberships. We meet once a month and have an active Homebuilder’s Night, Young Eagles Program, a monthly newsletter, the Southeast Wisconsin Aviation Museum and Hall of Fame, and other events. Quinn and Barbie coordinated and ran the Southeastern Hall of Fame dinner each year at the Marriott. They raised many thousands of dollars for the chapter.

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.

Where: The McGowan’s Hanger at 6:00 PM March 2nd 2013 rigadier General Robert L. “Bob” Cardenas was born in Merida, Yucatan, Mexico on March 10th, 1920, and moved to San Diego with his parents at the age of five. During his teenage years, Cardenas built model B airplanes and helped local glider pilots with their dope-and-fabric construction, often bumming rides with the pilots in the gliders he helped to repair. A bright student with excellent grades in Mathematics and Physics at high school, Cardenas was selected to attend the San Diego State University. During 1939 Cardenas began a long and distinguished military career when he joined the California National Guard. In September of 1940, Cardenas entered into aviation cadet training, graduated and received his pilot wings & commission as a second lieutenant during July of 1941. Cardenas was sent to Kelly Field, Texas to become a flight instructor, then onto Twentynine Palms, California to establish the U.S. Army Air Force’s glider training school and followed this by becoming a Flight Test Officer and then Director of Flight Test Unit, Experimental Engineering Laboratory, Wright Field Ohio. Cardenas’ next assignment was to the 44th Bomb Group and arrived in England on January 4th, 1944. Based at Shipdam, Norfolk, Cardenas flew his first mission on January 21st in B-24H “Southern Comfort”. On March 18th, 1944 (on his twentieth mission) while flying as command pilot aboard B-24J “Sack Artists” the aircraft in which Cardenas was flying was badly damaged by anti-aircraft fire and enemy fighters.

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.

  • Bob Carlton to Receive 2015 Bill Barber Award for Showmanship
    Bob Carlton to Receive 2015 Bill Barber Award for Showmanship EAST TROY, WISCONSIN -- An ICAS member and recipient of the 2014 Civilian Performer Pinnacle Award will receive one of the air show industry’s highest honors July 21, during EAA AirVenture at EAA’s Theater in the Woods. Bob Carlton, owner of Vertigo Airshows, will receive the 2015 Bill Barber Award for Showmanship according to a news release issued by World Airshow News June 8. Carlton joins a long list of honorees that reads like an air show hall of fame. Carlton began his fascination with aviation as a young boy flying control line models. He learned to fly in 1979 at age 19 and soon mastered hang gliders, sailplanes, powered airplanes, and helicopters. He began flying sailplane airshows in 1993. After he began flying airshows, Carlton often found it difficult to arrange for a tow plane at each show site. His engineering background led to the development of the world's first twinjet sailplane, which allowed him to climb to altitude under his own power. His innovative approach to glider aerobatics continued with the addition of the Super Salto jet sailplane in 2009. With a more powerful jet engine, the Super Salto not only allowed Carlton to climb to altitude without a tow plane, but he could also perform a full low-level aerobatic routine under power. Carlton’s latest addition to his airshow stable is the SubSonex JSX-2 microjet kit aircraft. He serves as the chief test pilot for the little jet and has debuted a full aerobatic airshow routine in the SubSonex for the 2015 airshow season.

    IDWEST FLYER M AGAZINE OCTOBER/NOVEMBER 2015 Published For & By The Midwest Aviation Community Since 1978 midwestflyer.com The buzz about drones There’s a lot of talk about drones these days. And no wonder. Every week we hear reports of drones getting too close to manned aircraft. In August, the FAA released a list of reports from pilots, air traffic controllers, and citizens about possible encounters with drones. The 765 reports covered Nov. 13, 2014 through Aug. 20, 2015. And those are just the ones reported to the FAA. When it announced the publication of the new list the FAA said it “wants to send a clear message that operating drones around airplanes and helicopters is dangerous and illegal.” No one seems to be able to put a solid figure on drone sales, but the numbers are big and getting exponentially bigger, with some drone makers reporting sales tripling from 2013 to 2014. Last year retail giant Amazon even launched a drone store. International drone conventions held in cities like Las Vegas are attracting thousands. And corporate applications for FAA waivers to operate commercial drones are skyrocketing. In other words, drones are here to stay. There’s no doubt that this burgeoning technology will have ups and downs for general aviation. On the one hand, drone operations too close to manned aircraft pose a very serious safety threat. On the other, drones are introducing a whole new generation to the wonders of aviation, and some of those folks will make the leap to flying manned aircraft. Regardless of how you feel about drones, you should know that AOPA is actively working on drone- related issues every day.
