VA Vol 6 No 10 Oct 1978 HELP! The Vintage Airplane Magazine is in grave danger. The problem is lack of material. As with SPORT AVIATION and other EAA publications we are almost totally depen­ dent on the photographic generosity and writing activity of our readership. It's up to you to share with the other members of the Antique/Classic Division your experiences, memories, photographs or research . Headquarters can not do it all on its own. The supply of manuscripts is so low that unless we hear from some of you soon there may not be a happy new year. Please get involved ... now! Paul H.

Aside from a dramatic thunderstorm that tickled the north end of the field, providing a thrilling backdrop for the opening of Monday's air show, the weather this year was everything 1977 had left to be desired. Abun­ dant sunshine covered the field in the mornings, puffy clouds rolled in for lunch, out for dinner, and tem­ peratures everyone would like to see year-round com­ bined to create a pilot and photographers' dream. Like prospective parents who cross the threshold of expectancy earlier than anticipated, we were all surprised to count 377 display aircraft on the field when the sun set on the eve before the Convention 's opening. That tally included 42 Antique and 116 Classic aircraft, many 'of which had staked out a piece of the campground south of Ollie's Park . So when dawn cracked on Saturday there was already an excellent representation of vintage planes, 82 more than a year earlier, and each successive day saw another new record in attendance. At week 's end, the Antique/ Classic Division could not only boast of a bigger and better fly-in than in previous years, but it could again lay claim- if it means anything- to the largest total number of display aircraft on the field. Antiques and Classics outnumbered Homebuilts by several hundred and Warbirds by a factor of five. In aircraft registra­ tions that translates into 190 Antiques, 7 Replicas, and a whopping 604 Classics. Naturally a lot of Oshkosh regulars and intermittant With each year the stories of restorations, of what ( Photo by Ted Ko ston) types (irregulars ?) turned up again. Hours were filled the builders had in the first place, of what they had S. L.

These days, or in the last decade, exciting, however, are the arrivals of the debutantes, people have had to start with some pretty empty bas­ time; both were rebuilt by their owners. They shared the basket cases that have had the full Cinderella treat­ kets. center stage with some other outstanding newcomers ment before their "coming out" party. Like royal gold This year, the trophy for Grand Champion Antique like Jack Chastain 's rare Rawdon T-1 , Ray Stebnis' and filigree they shine in all directions; like the ancient went to Joe & Joe Erale's Curtiss Robin, a ten-year Jack Schnaube It's excellent Fa irch i Id 22, Margaret theatres of Greece, they remind us of another time project; Grand Champion Classic was Ron Wojnar's and Rick Demond 's sparkling Corben Ace (antique that's curiously grown to seem more noble and less Aeronca Champ which was also a full decade in the homebuilt). Donald Cassidy flew in a beautifully cus­ complicated than what we're locked into now. remaking. Both planes were at Oshkosh for the first tomized Spartan Executive, and S. L. Wallick arrived 4 in the world's on ly Boeing 100, while Wallace Mitchell brought in his one of a kind RPT Waco low wing. There were some exciting replica debuts: a brand new Spad, Fokker Triplane, even a Ramsey Bathtub (from Baker, Oregon!). Since there are so many Class ics , it's difficult to nail down. what's new or freshly refurbished, but the number put on the block for judging expands rapidly every year, which is indicative of the effort people are making to preserve and maintain everyth ing that flies. Among the scads of tasteful "wet-look" classic paint schemes, were a liberal sprinkling of bare 'n polished metal planes that were sometimes blinding in the sunlight. Beauty was occasionally more than skin deep with some of these Classics as found in the case of a gleaming Luscombe 8F that looked stock at first glan ce, but which harbored a 150 HP Lycoming under its cowl. Of course, there 's more to Oshkosh than fossil aircraft. For example, there are the archaeo logical discussions about the roots of early aviation. Thirty­ nine of the forty forums scheduled for tent number 3, beside the Antique/Classic field headquarters, went off on schedule, drawing some full houses and strongly appreciative responses. Ollie 's Park, between the Antique Parking and the Antique/Classic Aircraft Campgrounds provided an ideal setting for a finger­ lickin ' good picnic. It was a pleasure to see so many wives and kids present. A lot of those people recon­ vened at the same spot on Friday night following the awards show in the Main Forums Pavilion. Highlighting the week of Antique/Classic activities at Wittman Field, and driving Chairman Ron Fritz and some of the other organ izers to the brink of babble, was the airborn History of Flight. Lauded by all as an overwhelming success, the Parade sequenced nearly all the major types of aircraft developed between the 1911 Curtiss Pusher (which led the parade) through a United Airlines DC-8 jet which flew through after 104 antiques, classics and warbirds. Breaking the steady flow of fly-by 's from time to time were some barnstormers who regularly perform airshow routines with Vintage aircraft.

  • Het Grote LUCHTVAARTKENNIS Register
    Het grote LUCHTVAARTKENNIS register Het register van het Luchtvaart Historisch Tijdschrift ‘LUCHTVAARTKENNIS’ en de daaraan voorafgaande ‘Mededelingen’ van de Afdeling Luchtvaartkennis van de KNVvL geeft een overzicht van hetgeen in de afgelopen jaren is gepubliceerd, m.u.v. de eerste jaargang, die helaas niet meer te traceren blijkt. Uiteraard is v.w.b. De eerste jaargangen selectief opgetreden, aangezien daarin veel summiere feiten (vliegtuiggegevens etc.) staan, die zo niet achterhaald, dan toch eenvoudiger elders te vinden zijn. Ook de diverse publicaties van het vooroorlogse Nederlandse burgerlucht- vaartregister zijn weggelaten, omdat deze na het verschijnen van het boek ‘75 jaar Nederlandse burgerluchtvaartregisters’ als overbodig kunnen worden beschouwd. Aangezien eerst in 1987 een volledige paginanummering voor het gehele jaar werd ingevoerd, wordt tot dat jaar de vindplaats aangeduid met jaartal en nummer van de betreffende aflevering van de ‘Mededelingen’. Vanaf 1987 geschied zulks per pagina. De in de Luchtvaartencyclopedie verschenen onderwerpen worden aangeduid conform de aflevering waarin deze verschenen. In een enkel geval uit 1985/86 bleek dit niet te achterhalen. Wanneer in een artikel de gehele productie van een bepaalde fabriek wordt weergegeven, wordt volstaan met de vermelding van de fabriek en worden niet de afzonderlijke types vermeld.
