October 3, 1967…….Major William J. Knight pilots the North American Aviation X-15 to a speed record of 4,534 mph. October 11, 1910…..President Teddy Roosevelt becomes the first United States President to fly when he is taken up in St. Louis. October 14, 1947…..Captain Charles Elwood “Chuck” Yeager becomes the first person to fly faster than sound. Yeager “breaks the sound barrier” in his Bell X-1, “Glamorous Glennis”…named after his wife. He was able to reach 670 mph or Mach 1.015 at Muroc Dry Lake, California. ________________________________________________________________ “I have flown in just about everything, with all kinds of pilots in all parts of the world – British, French, Pakistani, Iranian, Japanese, Chinese – and there wasn’t a dime’s worth of difference between any of them except for the one unchanging, certain fact: the best, most skillful pilot has the most experience.” Chuck Yeager _____________________________________________________________________________________ Chuck Yeager was one of the greatest test pilots of all times. He was the first man to “break the sound barrier.” As a World War II flying ace, he shot down a Messerschmitt jet with a prop-driven P-51 Mustang and he was shot down over France during World War II, yet escaped being captured by the Nazi. If you would like to learn more about the incredible and adventurous life of Check Yeager, take a look at the following: “Yeager: An Autobiography” by Chuck Yeager and Leo Janos. “Press On! Further Adventures in the Good Life” by Chuck Yeager. “The Quest for Mach One: A First-Person Account of Breaking the Sound Barrier” by Chuck Yeager. If a good movie interests you, be sure to check out “The Right Stuff.” It’s an in-depth look at the life and times of the post war hot shot fly boys, including Yeager, that were the makings of the original NASA program. Submitted by Dave Ruckle 5 Bloomsburg Municipal Airport NEWSLETTER October 2018 An Introduction To this month’s feature story Every airport has its share of legends, pilots that have performed amazing aeronautical feats, aviators whose stories of remarkable accomplishments have been told and retold countless times; the stories that legends are made of. One such pilot, over the years, at Bloomsburg Municipal Airport was Cameron Theil more affectionately called Bud. In addition to the many hours he logged to destinations everywhere, Bud was infamously known for the number of airplanes he owned and flew in his lifetime, owning as many as six at one time. Legend has it, that Bud never bought a plane he didn’t make money on when he sold it. In fact, having bought and sold the same plane twice, making money on it each time he owned it. Some say he taught Donald Trump “The Art of Deal.” Those who knew Bud the best say he quite possibly owned more than 70 different airplanes throughout his flying career, from Cubs to Cessnas and other various Pipers, numerous Bonanzas and Barons, Lake Amphibians, a Piaggio and even an AT6 that he donated to the Confederate Air Force. Witnesses say that one time when Bud was departing a popular fly-in event the control tower said, “Departing Bonanza if you are receiving this, please wag your wings.” To which Bud responded, “Controller if you hear this reply wag your tower.” Truly a pilot that knew how to command a situation!!! Bud had charm, a certain charisma that made other pilots that knew him like him and want to be a little bit like him, too. For example, take the following autobiographic story of another well- known N13 pilot, John Yohey, who has contributed to this edition of the airport newsletter. With the majority of his 53 years spent flying, John is a knowledgeable and highly skilled aviator and is well on his way to having owned and flown more airplanes than most pilots will ever dream of. And, he is charming, too. In his 36 years of flying exploits and adventures, it has gotten him out of trouble more than once. He even has his own control tower story to share. Everyone who knows John will tell you why he is often called “Little Bud.” We are pleased that he is willing to share the following story, and hope that when the statutes of limitations expire, that he will then be just as willing to share more of his stories.

  • Technically Advanced Aircraft Transition Training
    Page 1 of 5 © 2011 High Performance Aviation, LLC Technically Advanced Aircraft Transition Training By Brandon J. Ray, CFI, CFII, MEI, Master Flight Instructor In recent years, general aviation has benefited from many innovations and technological advancements. We have seen glass cockpits become standard equipment on new aircraft. Satellite datalink weather now helps guide our inflight decision-making and diversion planning. Digital autopilots on Skyhawks now rival those found on the commercial airlines. NDBs and VORs have faded out of the spotlight as GPS and WAAS technology take over as the navigation source of choice. Moving maps and iPads have replaced the traditional paper charts, plotters and E6Bs. To some pilots, "partial panel" means they lost their XM radio and have to revert to their backup iPod. (Tough flight, huh?) HIGH PERFORMANCE AVIATION, LLC Customized Flight Training for Aircraft Owners www.FlyHPA.com (866) 227-8149 Page 2 of 5 TAA Transition Training © 2011 High Performance Aviation, LLC Lots of change... Good or bad? With all the new technology available in the cockpit, we have the opportunity to improve safety and increase our flying capabilities. Unfortunately, the technology can also create distractions and cause pilots to fumble around with knobs wondering, "How do I do that again?" Sure, you can read the manuals and try to figure it out as you go. You'll quickly find that the manuals were mostly written by tech writers (with the valuable input of the lawyers, of course) and aren't always the most efficient way to learn a new system. After trying to learn the avionics and advanced systems while flying, you start to realize that perhaps spending $100-$200 per hour on Avgas while fumbling with knobs probably isn't the most effective use of your time or money..
