4 Bloomsburg Municipal Airport NEWSLETTER October 2018
This month in Aviation History…. 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. -----Dave Ruckle
6 Bloomsburg Municipal Airport NEWSLETTER October 2018 My Love Affair…..with Airplanes and Flying!!!
By John Yohey as told to Dave Ruckle I was lucky enough to grow up in a flying family with an air strip in the backyard. My father, Clyde Yohey, started with a J-3 Cub in 1950 and built a small strip behind his house in Scenic Knolls development outside of Berwick, PA. In 1958 he built the Stone Castle Motel (5 miles west of the Bloomsburg airport) which had a licensed air strip behind it, too. The Cub got traded for a Piper Tripacer due to the needs of a growing, flying family and in 1960 it was traded for a North American Navion. I didn’t come along until 1965 and my first flying memories started around 1970 at age five sitting on a board between the front seats next to my parents with my three siblings filling the backseat. I loved playing with mechanical things, so dad put me to work adjusting the VOR dials, holding maps, etc. I always bugged dad to go flying because I was hooked early, and he was happy to have a kid who was interested in flying, too. Every summer we did a lot of cross country flying, often coast to coast, to all the American Navion Society’s conventions. My dad taught me how to fly, land and takeoff when I got old enough to reach everything and see over the dash. He was an instrument rated pilot and loved bad weather, so I got lots of experience doing instrument work flying with him. (Far Left) John with his father Clyde Yohey the day his dad received The Bloomsburg Municipal Airport Appreciation Award.
7 Bloomsburg Municipal Airport NEWSLETTER October 2018 Below on left John with Long-Eze partner and builder Dick Sharrow on right.
Fast forward to May of 1981 (age 15) and two months from turning 16, I hooked up with flight instructor and soon to be lifelong friend, Dick Sharrow. I joined the Parlor City Flying Club (today known as the Bloomsburg Flying Club) and everyday after school I rushed to the airport and waited for Dick to get off work at PPL. He had his hands full with a 15-year old kid that had a few bad habits. Because I flew a lot of IFR with dad, Dick would cover the whole panel with a towel that prevented me from looking at the dash. For my first cross country, I even showed up with IFR charts and again Dick had to take things away! But as surely as there is a God and green apples, on my 16th birthday (6-29-81) early in the morning, Dick got out of 704MT, the flying club’s Cessna 150, and said “give me three takeoffs and landings.” They were all good…you know…no bend aluminum… and I had a big smile. After soloing I then went to Berwick to take my driving test in the car. You have to get your priorities straight in this world. Then at age 17 I got my private pilot certificate and, along with my cousin, Barry Boyer, I bought my first airplane N99835, a $6,000 Ercoupe based in Detroit. (Far Lft) John’s cousin and first airplane (Ercoupe) partner, Barry Boyer.)
8 Bloomsburg Municipal Airport NEWSLETTER October 2018 We flew it home in January 1983 following Interstate 80 at near deck level to stay VFR and out of the ice filled clouds, reading road signs to stay on course…..but that’s a whole other story. It was a great starter plane but after flying it for two years, it got boring. So, I sold it to my sister, Debbie, and bought a single seater EAA Biplane equipped with a smoke and an inverted gas and oil system. The only problem was I never flew a tail dragger. Again, Dick Sharrow came to the rescue!!! After spending countless hours learning how it handled on the ground, Dick borrowed Dick Karshner’s Super Cub and brought it to the Bloom airport so I could get some dual tail-dragger time in the air. Once I showed Dick I could handle a tail-dragger to his (Above)- The EAA Biplane satisfaction, he sent me on my way in the biplane saying, “Have at it but be careful!” A Super Cub, however, is not an EAA Biplane!!! It was small and short coupled, and I remember after lifting off around 80 mph thinking, I’ve got to land at this speed, too. After an hour of just playing around in the sky, I realized I had to eventually land it. The first couple of landings weren’t real pretty but by day’s end I landed it at our private strip behind the motel. All my dad could say was, “Please, get it gone. Sell it!” He really didn’t approve of this plane. I kept it, however, for five years but with only one seat, I realized when it was time for a change. So, in 1990, I traded it to a guy in Jamestown, New York, for a 1939 Luscombe. During this period of my flying career, I also acquired my instrument rating at age 19 and multi-engine at 21. (Below - 1939 Luscombe)
The Luscombe was a great little two-seater with a 65 hp engine and rag wings. It was much better suited for our 1,700-foot motel air strip that came with power lines and trees. Then in 1996, Dick came up with another great idea; for me to buy half of the Rutan Long-Eze he spent three years building. My job…keep it flying. I still have the Long-Eze, recently purchasing Dick’s share, too, and I still enjoy flying N85KT to this day, 22 years later!”
9 Bloomsburg Municipal Airport NEWSLETTER October 2018
John, along with Columbia Aircraft Service’s Karl George posing with the “Rainbow Warrior
For years, Dad shared his Navion with me; however, the time came for me to buy my own. In 2001, just one week after 9-11 and with so much uncertainty in the world, I found what I was looking for in Chevy Chase, Maryland and purchased the “Rainbow Warrior” a beautiful 1949 Navion B model, N567K. If you take a look at its picture (above), you’ll see why it got that nickname. For the next nine years, the Navion served my needs for a comfortable, multi-passenger cross country cruiser, while the Long-Eze was a sexy, pure fun-flying and economical way to satisfy my daily craving to fly. But, as Maverick said in Top Gun, “I have a need…the need for speed.” So, in 2010 I went to South Lakeland, Florida and purchased N111BH, a rocket with wings, a Bob Herrideen built Glassair III.
This rush lasted about one year before I sold and shipped my little missile to a buyer in South Africa. Above - The first Glasair III N111BH
10 Bloomsburg Municipal Airport NEWSLETTER October 2018
At the same time, a good friend and fellow pilot, Dennis Steele, was building another Glasair III, N330DS, at N13. In 2011, we became partners; he built it and I got to be the test pilot. A short time later I purchased Denny’s share. It, too, satisfied my need for speed until I eventually sold it in December 2016. But, let’s back up a moment. Did I forget to mention that while all this airplane swapping was going on, I also found time to acquire a seaplane rating? Yep, in 2011, at Ryan’s Aviation in Flagler Beach, Florida, flying a Husky on floats. Oh yea, getting that seaplane rating was a real hoot. I recommend that everyone should get one. Then, in 2012, another urge crept into my flying life. With a multi-engine rating tucked away in my logbook and a buyer’s market for twins, I located a beautiful B-55, Colemill Baron with 300 hp a side in Van Nuys, California that needed to come east.
(Above) – John with The B55 Colemill Baron
There was never a question that was an ultimate cross county plane that provided speed and comfort, making numerous trips to Venice, Florida, in airliner style. At this point, I was running out of hangars and realized something had to go. While the Long-Eze and Glasair served specific purposes, the Navion duplicated what the Baron did only it did it slower. It only made sense then to sell the Rainbow Warrior. Even though it meant I would probably loose my seat on the board of the Navion Society, I found a buyer at Gillespie Field in California. Just as there was never a question about the speed and comfort of a Baron, neither is there an argument about how costly they are to fly. The need to haul family around the country disappeared; meaning the need for such a plane went away too. So, to my wallet’s relief, the Baron found a new home in Pensacola, Florida.
11 Bloomsburg Municipal Airport NEWSLETTER October 2018 Well, as you can probably tell from my past, Navions have been a part of my life since infancy. In fact, some say I was conceived in a Navion. So, yep, you’ve probably guessed it. Enter again, into my life… a Navion…this time a Rangemaster, N21ZZ, purchased in September 2016 from an 89-year young flyer named Rollie Zavada in Rochester, NY.

Then in December 2016, as mentioned earlier Glasair N330DS was shipped off to DuPage, Illinois, leaving a huge whole in my inventory of aircraft…you know…the one that answered the need for speed.
(Above) John with his second Glasair III N330DS
12 Bloomsburg Municipal Airport NEWSLETTER October 2018
For almost a year there was nothing that scratched that itch until finally, while glancing through Trade-a- Plane one day there she was…like love at first sight…N363DB…and I had to have her!!! She was, a Lancair 360 just waiting for me in Oklahoma City. She now calls N13 home along with her cousins, N85KT and N21ZZ. (Below - Lancair 360) As you can see, over the years I have bought and sold a few airplanes and have had a lot of fun in all of them. I have flown a lot of other planes besides, from Ultra lights and J-3 Cubs to Bonanzas, Barons and Aerostars. In fact, at this time I am anxiously awaiting delivery of The Raptor, a roomy, pressurized 4/5 seat tricycle gear, single engine, canard- winged aircraft. The prototype is scheduled to fly in 2019 with deliveries planned starting in the fall of 2021. Powered by a six-cylinder Audi 3.0L TDI turbocharged diesel car engine (300hp) adapted for aviation use, it is designed to cruise at 300 knots (345 mph) at 25,000 feet with a range of 3600 nmi or 4,136 miles. Quite a bit different from an Ercoupe or, for that matter, anything else I’ve owned and flown. (Below – Raptor) Over the years, however, my experiences have taught me one undeniable fact, although every airplane has its own personality…..flying is flying… and that is what I love to do!!!
