    Fall 2019 Newsletter – Issue 56

    Charles M. Schulz – Sonoma County Airport (STS) The Red Baron Flyer Fall 2019 Newsletter – Issue 56 Airport Solar System Awarded! A Power Purchase Agreement has been approved by the Board of Supervisors for a solar system at the Airport. The approved 834kW parking canopy solar structure will be installed over Long Term Parking Lot B, and will meet 100% of the Airport’s electrical needs. Parking canopies provide protection from weather elements, and produce clean and renewable electricity. The project will reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 1,023 metric tons, the equivalent to 2,500,956 miles driven by an average vehicle, and save the County $3,627,981 over 20 years. The solar project has been awarded to Forefront Power. They are currently conducting the FAA glare analysis, and the project is expected to be operational by late summer 2020.

    US NAVY AIRCRAFT Douglas A-4B Skyhawk In the early 1950s, the Navy sought a jet-powered replacement for the large, piston-engined AD-1 Skyraider. Noted aircraft designer Edward Henry “Ed” Heinemann led his team in creating the Skyhawk, an aircraft weighing half as much as the Skyraider. The A- 4 Skyhawk features a modified delta wing with a span of only twenty-seven and one half feet that did not require folding for carrier hangar storage or transport to the flight deck. The A-4 met all Navy performance requirements and set a world speed record of 695 mph (1119 kph) in 1954, earning the craft the nickname “Heinemann’s Hot Rod.” The A-4 was flown by Senator John McCain off the USS Forrestal during the Vietnam War. He had previously flown Skyraiders off the Intrepid. The A-4B Skyhawk displayed on the hangar deck is painted to resemble one that flew off the Intrepid during her first Vietnam tour. The in flight photograph of this aircraft was provided by Gerald Sagehorn, a pilot who flew this aircraft off Intrepid. The A-4B Skyhawk on loan from the National Museum of Naval Aviation in Pensacola, Florida. Grumman/Eastern Aircraft TBM-3E Avenger 3E Avenger First flown in 1941 and introduced operationally in June 1942, the Avenger became the U.S. Navy’s standard torpedo bomber throughout World War II, with more than 9,836 constructed. Designed and built by Grumman Aircraft Engineering Coporation, they were affectionately nicknamed “turkeys” for their somewhat ungainly appearance. Avengers flew off the Intrepid throughout her World War II career.

If you’re lucky, you’ll get that Alone in the Wilderness show about Dick Proenneke and the sledding wolverines, or a mini-marathon of Joy of Painting, which is just the perfect way to fall asleep. And sometimes, one of a treasure trove of classic concert films. Now I know I present myself as the very hip and “now” host of Friendly Fire, but I’ll have you know that my musical interests have always been before my time. The very first concert I ever went to was Jimmy Page and Robert Plant at the Tacoma Dome, the giant concert venue with the acoustics of a shipping container south of Seattle. I was in middle school and let me tell you: wearing that concert T-shirt the next day did not have the “making me cool” effect that I had hoped for. Except with the teachers, which—as you could guess—had the opposite effect.
