  • Cessna Aircraft Company-A Short History
    Cessna Aircraft Company Info from (address no longer valid) http://www.wingsoverkansas.com/history/article.asp?id=627 Clyde Vernon Cessna, whose 250-year American lineage stemmed from French and German ancestry, was born in Hawthorne, Iowa, December 5, 1879. At the age of two, he traveled the long overland journey with his parents to Kingman County, Kansas, where they settled on a homestead along the Chickasaw River. In early boyhood his aptitudes revealed visionary creativity and mechanical talents that found instant outlets in the dire necessities and rugged demands of pioneer life. In this environment he became a self taught expert in developing and improving farm machinery and farming methods for producing food and for services that were non-existent. As the family increased to nine, the challenges and opportunities presented themselves in an extended world of the early automobile. Becoming the owner of a first horseless carriage, he followed avidly the trends in improvement and in this way became a mechanic salesman and in time operated an automobile sales agency in Enid, Oklahoma. He became captivated with flying after learning of Louis Blériot's 1909 flight across the English Channel. Traveling east to New York, Cessna spent a month at the Queen Airplane Company factory, learning the fundamentals of flight and the art of plane building. He became so enthusiastic about flying that he spent his life savings of $7,500 to buy an exact copy of the Blériot XI monoplane, shipping it west to his home in Enid, Oklahoma. Cessna flew this aircraft, along with others he designed and built, in exhibition flights throughout the Midwest, continuously modifying the planes to improve their performance.

  • CESSNA GRAND CARAVAN by Yoland Grosjean - SPA348 – Bush Ops Manager
    CESSNA GRAND CARAVAN By Yoland Grosjean - SPA348 – Bush Ops Manager CESSNA HISTORY Clyde Vernon Cessna was born in Iowa in 1879 and grew up on a Kansas farm. He became captivated with flying after learning of Louis Blériot's 1909 flight across the English Channel. He purchased a monoplane for himself and spent the next several years travelling to exhibition air shows, meeting many of the daredevil pilots of the era, including Roland Garros, René Simon, Charles Hamilton, and René Barrier. Travelling east to New York, Cessna spent a month at the Queen Airplane Company factory, learning the fundamentals of flight and the art of plane building. He became so enthusiastic about flying that he spent his life savings of $7,500 to buy an exact copy of the Blériot XI monoplane, shipping it west to his home in Enid, Oklahoma. Cessna flew this aircraft, along with others he designed and built, in exhibition flights throughout the Midwest, continuously modifying the planes to improve their performance. In 1924, Clyde partnered with fellow aviation pioneers Lloyd C. Stearman and Walter H. Beech to form the Travel Air Manufacturing Co., Inc., a biplane-manufacturing firm, in Wichita, Kansas. Clyde infused the fledgling company with cash and equipment and became its president. But Clyde always preferred monoplanes, so in 1927, he left Travel Air to form his own company, the Cessna Aircraft Company. There he would build his vision of the ideal aircraft, a full-cantilever-winged monoplane dubbed the Phantom. Commercially successful, the Phantom, along with the Model AW and DC-6, sold well until the start of the Great Depression.

  • For Lovers of Old-Fashioned Aircraft
    IDWEST FLYER M AGAZINE DECEMBER 2016/JANUARY 2017 Published For & By The Midwest Aviation Community Since 1978 midwestflyer.com Building the tools to teach AOPA is trying something that’s never been done before, and we think it will open the door for thousands of young people to discover the fun, excitement, and opportunity that aviation can bring. If you read this column regularly, you’ve heard of You Can Fly—the umbrella program AOPA launched in 2015 to get more people flying and keep them flying. Now AOPA’s High School Initiative, which falls under the You Can Fly umbrella, is taking some bold steps forward. AOPA is partnering with Purdue University to develop four- year aviation STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) curricula for students in grades 9 through 12. The curricula will allow schools to offer up to four different career and technical education pathways —pilot, aerospace engineering, aviation technology, and unmanned aircraft systems (UAS). And each pathway will provide a full four- year course of study that builds on the skills and knowledge developed in each grade. To get things started, we’ll build the ninth-grade level classes. We expect to roll those out in time for the 2018-19 school year, with the higher grade level classes to follow until all four pathways are complete. The classes are being carefully designed to meet not only the high math and science standards many states are implementing to improve student performance, but also the rigorous career and technical education requirements that will allow schools to apply for federal grant money to implement the programs.

We here at Club Headquarters are reflecting back on 2016 and find ourselves looking forward into 2017, eagerly anticipating good things to come. Last year was a relatively quiet one for the Club in general but, seemingly coinciding with the general elec- tion, we experienced a surge of new members and product orders, which has continued into January. This is the time of year that many aircraft owners take the opportunity to repair/refurbish/upgrade their air- planes…and why not? The weather can be pretty gloomy around much of the USA and Canada. We have lots of Belly Drains and some Gascolators going out the door and that tells me folks are prepping their little birds for a season of aviating. General aviation at our level has taken a disappointing downturn over the past years and in my opinion the root cause is economics (and possibly video games). The world economy has been stagnant and the cost of owning/flying an airplane is beyond most folks’ reach; and by that I mean that the priorities of people have to be focused on paying bills and feeding their families.
