Over 800 licenses are issued. Submitted by: Dave Ruckle Howard Robard Hughes, Jr. December 24, 1905 – April 5, 1976 Investor, engineer, film director, and philanthropist: these are just a few of the many careers that describe one of the most influential figures in the history of aviation. “I want to be remembered for only one thing,” stated Howard Hughes, “my contributions to aviation.” What an impact he had too. So much, that numerous book and movies have been written and made telling the stories of his many flying accomplishments. In 1932 he formed the Hughes Aircraft Company, hiring numerous aircraft designers and engineers where he spent the next 20 years setting multiple airspeed records and building airplanes. It was during this time he built the H-1 Racer and the H-4 Hercules more popularly known as the “Spruce Goose”. He also acquired and expanded Trans World Airlines (TWA) and Air West, renaming it Hughes Airwest. 6 Bloomsburg Municipal Airport NEWSLETTER February 2019 On January 19, 1937, flying the H-1 Racer, Hughes set a new transcontinental airspeed record, flying non-stop from Los Angeles California to Newark, New Jersey in seven hours, 28 minutes and 25 seconds with an average ground speed of 322 mph. Then on July 14, 1938, flying a Lockheed 14 Super Electra, he established another record by completing a flight around the world in 91 hours or three days, 19 hours and 17 minutes. And, as if that wasn’t enough, Hughes won the Harmon Trophy in both 1936 and 1938, also the Collier Trophy in 1938, and was awarded the Bibesco Cup in 1938, the Congressional Gold Medal in 1939 for his achievements in aviation, and the Octave Chanute Award in 1940. He was inducted into the National Aviation Hall of Fame in 1973 and posthumously into the International Air & Space Hall of Fame in 1987. He was ranked 25th in Flying Magazine’s list of the 51 Heroes of Aviation. During an interview about his many accomplishments in aviation, Hughes was quoted saying, “Passion will make you crazy, but is there any other way to live?” Hughes was the survivor of four airplane accidents, including a near-fatal crash in an XF-11 on July 7 1946 while test flying the prototype of the U.S. Army Air Force’s reconnaissance aircraft. His injuries included a crushed collar bone, multiple cracked ribs, crushed chest, and collapsed left lung. The impact was so significant that it shifted his heart to the right side of his chest cavity and he suffered severe third-degree burns. “If I have made a mistake in the design,” Hughes once said, “then I’m the one who should pay for it. I certainly would not ask somebody else to fly a plane if I were afraid to do it myself.” Perhaps, Hughes is remembered most for the construction and one flight of the H-4 Hercules, better remembered as the Spruce Goose (Above). Originally referred to as the HK-1 Hercules flying boat, Hughes renamed it when his partner Henry Kaiser withdrew from the War Production Board project to 7 Bloomsburg Municipal Airport NEWSLETTER February 2019 build the gigantic troop transport plane during World War II. The aircraft, however, was not completed until after the end of the war. Not only was if the largest flying boat, it was the largest aircraft made from wood. In fact, it was largely made from birch wood not spruce. And it is no longer the longest or heaviest aircraft ever built. The Antonov An-225 now holds both titles. The Spruce Goose only flew once for a distance of one mile and an altitude of 70 feet with Howard Hughes at the controls on November 2, 1947. It had been on display for some time at the harbor of Long Beach California but was moved to McMinnville, Oregon, where it is now part of the Evergreen Aviation & Space Museum. And what became of the Hughes H-1 Racer? It was donated to the Smithsonian Institute. By the way, do you remember the Lockheed Constellation airliner (Below) or “Connie” as it is affectionately called? Yes, Hughes is credited with being the driving force behind the design and development of that too. There is so much to know about this man; far more than can be told here in the Bloomsburg airport newsletter. He acquired a tremendous amount of real estate, resorts and hotels especially in and around Nevada and California. It was the principal asset in the Hughes Empire. He owned RKO Pictures RKO Studios, RKO Radio Network and the RKO Theaters. In his younger years, as a two-handicapper, he 8 Bloomsburg Municipal Airport NEWSLETTER February 2019 played golf with the game’s top players like Gene Sarazen at courses like Bel-Air Country Club, Lakeside and Wilshire. Sadly, late in life, Hughes became known for his eccentric behavior and reclusive lifestyle. Perhaps this brief introduction to one of the most intriguing men in aviation will make you want to learn more. If that’s the case then check out the following books and movies about the man who once said, “I intend to be the greatest golfer in the world, the finest film producer in Hollywood, the greatest pilot in the world, and richest man in the world.” Books about the aviation life of Howard Hughes “Hughes after Howard: The Story of Hughes Aircraft Company” • By Ken Richardson “Howard Hughes and his Flying Boat” • By Charles Barton “Howard Hughes Airlines” • By Robert J.

    Howard Hughes Howard Hughes September 24, 1905 Born Houston, Texas, USA April 5, 1976 (aged 70) Died Houston, Texas, USA Chairman, Hughes Aircraft; Occupation industrialist; aviator; engineer; film producer Net worth US$12.8 bn (1958 Forbes 400) Ella Rice (1925-1929) Spouse Terry Moore (1949-1976) Jean Peters (1957-1971) For the Welsh murderer, see Howard Hughes (murderer). Howard Robard Hughes, Jr. (September 24, 1905 – April 5, 1976) was, in his time, an aviator, engineer, industrialist, film producer and director, a palgrave, a playboy, an eccentric, and one of the wealthiest people in the world. He is famous for setting multiple, world air-speed records, building the Hughes H-1 Racer and H-4 Hercules airplanes, producing the movies Hell's Angels and The Outlaw, owning and expanding TWA, his enormous intellect[1], and for his debilitating eccentric behavior in later life. Early years Hughes was born in Houston, Texas, on 24 September or 24 December 1905. Hughes claimed his birthday was Christmas Eve, although some biographers debate his exact birth date, (according to NNDB.com, it was most likely "the more mundane date of September 24"[2] ). His parents were Allene Stone Gano Hughes (a descendant of Catherine of Valois, Dowager Queen of England, by second husband Owen Tudor) [3][4] and Howard R. Hughes, Sr., who patented the tri-cone roller bit, which 1 allowed rotary drilling for oil in previously inaccessible places. Howard R. Hughes, Sr. founded Hughes Tool Company in 1909 to commercialize this invention. Hughes grew up under the strong influence of his mother, who was obsessed with protecting her son from all germs and diseases.

DEREGULATION AND THE PRACTICING ATTORNEY HERBERT D. KELLEHER* W ITHIN the next month Congress will probably enact legis- lation substantially changing federal economic regulation of the domestic air transport industry for the first time since such regulation was imposed in 1938. While there is still considerable debate concerning the substance and form of the final bill, some measure of regulatory reform appears inevitable. All the available economic evidence demonstrates that the artificial suppression of competitive market forces by predecessors to the present Civil Aero- nautics Board, acting within the latitude afforded by the Federal Aviation Act, has encouraged unnecessarily high fares; carrier inefficiency; excess capacity; undue concentration in the industry; and has denied passengers a choice of price and service options that would be available to them in a less regulated environment! The popular term for reform proposals--"deregulation"-is actually somewhat of a misnomer. What is contemplated by the proponents of regulatory change is basically a redirection of gov- ernment policy toward allowing greater competition through par- tial relaxation of entry and pricing controls.

    Near Midair Collision, Hughes Airwest, Douglas DC-9, N9333, and Northwest Airlines, Inc., Douglas DC-10, N148US, Spokane International Airport, Spokane, Washington, April 1, 1976 Micro-summary: Following a missed approach, there was insufficient separation between a DC-9 and DC-10 taking off from the same runway. Event Date: 1976-04-01 at 0738 PST Investigative Body: National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), USA Investigative Body's Web Site: http://www.ntsb.gov/ Cautions: 1. Accident reports can be and sometimes are revised. Be sure to consult the investigative agency for the latest version before basing anything significant on content (e.g., thesis, research, etc). 2. Readers are advised that each report is a glimpse of events at specific points in time. While broad themes permeate the causal events leading up to crashes, and we can learn from those, the specific regulatory and technological environments can and do change. Your company's flight operations manual is the final authority as to the safe operation of your aircraft! 3. Reports may or may not represent reality. Many many non-scientific factors go into an investigation, including the magnitude of the event, the experience of the investigator, the political climate, relationship with the regulatory authority, technological and recovery capabilities, etc. It is recommended that the reader review all reports analytically. Even a "bad" report can be a very useful launching point for learning. 4. Contact us before reproducing or redistributing a report from this anthology. Individual countries have very differing views on copyright! We can advise you on the steps to follow.

Howard Hughes, The Aviator by Jennifer Rosenberg Howard Hughes’ Childhood Though he grew up in a wealthy household, Howard Hughes Jr. had diffi culty focusing on school and changed schools often. Rather than sitting in a classroom, Hughes preferred to learn by tinkering with mechanical things. For instance, when his mother forbade him from having a motorcycle, he built one by building a motor and adding it to his bicycle. Hughes was a loner in his youth; with one notable exception, Hughes never really had any friends. Tragedy and Wealth When Hughes was just 16-years old, his doting mother passed away. And then not even two years later, his father also suddenly died. Howard Hughes received 75% of his father’s million-dollar estate; the other 25% went to relatives. Hughes immediately disagreed with his relatives over the running of Hughes Tool Company but being only 18-years old, Hughes could not do anything about it because he would not legally be considered an adult until age 21. Frustrated but determined, Hughes went to court and got a judge to grant him legal adulthood. He then bought out his relatives’ shares of the company. At age 19, Hughes became full owner of the company and also got married (to Ella Rice).
