Answer - two great products from Corrosion Technologies: CorrosionX and RejeX. Mike Tuite is the majority owner and president of Corrosion Technologies. Mike has been an instrument-rated pilot and avid participant in the General Aviation scene for more than 25 years. After getting his private license in the 1970’s, he went to work for what was then the Aero Commander Division of Rockwell International as advertising manager. He was “promoted out” of that job, and spent the next several years working on the Space Shuttle program, for which Rockwell was the prime contractor. After a number of years out of the industry, but still actively flying, Mike returned to his aviation roots in 2001, joining Corrosion Technologies Corporation in Dallas, Texas. The company manufactures CorrosionX, a high-tech anti-corrosion product used in everything from home-builts to the Space Program, and RejeX, a soil barrier created for the military and now a well-accepted wax replacement for aircraft, cars, trucks, boats and RVs. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Chapter Fly Out on September 13th is the Sulphur Springs 8th Annual Fall Fly-In.

  • Short Final at Shortstop
    Experimental Aircraft Association Chapter 168 Dallas, Texas October 1991 Volume 22 Issue 10 Short Final at Shortstop This is your view as you approach Shortstop Airport on short final over the railroad tracks. Shortstop is the turf strip owned by Chapter members Larry Klutts and Mel Asberry. The 1400 ft. strip is 2 miles east of Farmersville. Mel's new hangar has the slab finished and he expects the unassembled hangar to be delivered the first week in November. Some of us Chapter members can probably expect a call from Mel to bring our wrenches to his hangar raising one of these weekends. Many of us dream about having our own private airport. It is nice to see some of our Chapter members making it a reality. Good Luck.
