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.

Emma Carter Browning has been involved in aviation since her first flight in 1929. She married Robert Browning Jr. in 1930 and became his ferry pilot as he barnstormed across Texas. Together they owned Browning Aerial Service, a fixed-base operation that originated in Abilene and later moved to Austin, Texas. Mrs. Browning obtained her pilot’s certification in 1939. Although she taught many individuals to fly she was more at home managing Browning Aerial Services. She remains a staunch advocate for general aviation and was a principal force behind the formation of the Texas Aviation History Museum in Austin, Texas. The Texas Aviation Hall of Fame has become one of the country’s leading museums of its type.

  • July 20, Memphis.Frm.Fm
    July 20-23, 2008 - Memphis, TN One of the positives that I will take away from this trip is the oppor- tunity to have met some really interesting people along the way. These past few days while traveling in and around Memphis Ten- nessee is a good example. I arrived at the Wolf River air strip a lit- tle past noon on Saturday. This is a smooth, well manicured grass runway of over 3,000 feet in length that is just to the East, and out- side of the Class “B” airspace that encompasses most of the metro- politan Memphis area. After landing, I approached the airport owner and on site manager Woody Degan and filled him in on the details of my trip, asking if I could base there for a few days. He readily agreed, and even helped me off load the airplane and watched as I unfolded its wings. He was the first of several inter- esting people that I met on what was really the first multi day stop along my proposed 8,000 mile route. I am about to begin the downwind leg for my landing to the south at Wolf River airport. It is hard to believe that this rural setting is just a few miles from the big city of Memphis TN. The Wolf River airport has been family owned for over 35 years, and Woody, his brother and mother currently operate this friendly and laid back facility. However Woody has another business which takes up as much, if not more of his time.
