  • Aviation Activity Forecasts BOWERS FIELD AIRPORT AIRPORT MASTER PLAN
    Chapter 3 – Aviation Activity Forecasts BOWERS FIELD AIRPORT AIRPORT MASTER PLAN Chapter 3 – Aviation Activity Forecasts The overall goal of aviation activity forecasting is to prepare forecasts that accurately reflect current conditions, relevant historic trends, and provide reasonable projections of future activity, which can be translated into specific airport facility needs anticipated during the next twenty years and beyond. Introduction This chapter provides updated forecasts of aviation activity for Kittitas County Airport – Bowers Field (ELN) for the twenty-year master plan horizon (2015-2035). The most recent FAA-approved aviation activity forecasts for Bowers Field were prepared in 2011 for the Airfield Needs Assessment project. Those forecasts evaluated changes in local conditions and activity that occurred since the previous master plan forecasts were prepared in 2000, and re-established base line conditions. The Needs Assessment forecasts provide the “accepted” airport-specific projections that are most relevant for comparison with the new master plan forecasts prepared for this chapter. The forecasts presented in this chapter are consistent with Bowers Field’s current and historic role as a community/regional general aviation airport. Bowers Field is the only airport in Kittitas County capable of accommodating a full range of general aviation activity, including business class turboprops and business jets. This level of capability expands the airport’s role to serve the entire county and the local Ellensburg community. The intent is to provide an updated set of aviation demand projections for Bowers Field that will permit airport management to make the decisions necessary to maintain a viable, efficient, and cost-effective facility that meets the area’s air transportation needs.

  • American Airlines Stionson
    American Airlines Stinson Copyright by © Captain Carl Jordan <[email protected]> Feb 23, 1997 - Page 1 of 5 Printed here with permission Let me start out by saying that my dad learned to fly in 1927. He began to fly with the Army Air Corps Reserve in 1931. He started with American Airlines in 1935, and retired 33 years later in 1968. I learned to fly in 1949. Subsequently did a stint in the US Air Force during the Korean War. Wound-up being a 20-year-old all-weather, jet fighter interceptor pilot. I started with United Airlines (Capital) in 1956, flying co-pilot on the DC-3. I "officially" retired in 1993. (I say "officially" because the Age-60 thing hasn't run its full course yet. "Old" geezers like me are still hopeful that 65 or 70 will eventually be recognized as mandatory retirement age.) My daughter is a third-generation airline captain (type-rated in A-320 & B-737), and still has a long run ahead of her before bumping into the mandatory retirement age...whatever it might happen to be when she finally gets there. If any of my grand kids (seven of them...for now) decide to get into the airline game, they'll be fourth-generation. With regard to Stinsons and American Airlines, there are two interesting points. First, when my dad started with American in 1935, he flew Curtiss Condors and STINSON TRIMOTORS. Like the Curtiss Condor, the Stinson Trimotor was a fabric-covered bird, and wasn't covered with "corrugated tin" like the Ford Trimotor.

  • H J Orme Pin Story
    H. J. Orme’s Aircraft Story By H. J. Orme Generated: 12/30/2014 H. J. Orme’s Aircraft Story H. J. Orme’s Aircraft H. J. Orme was a long time member of the LITPC prior to his death several years ago. He was a founding member of the Utah Pin Traders Club and a great pin trader. He was at quite a few swaps before his death and was always at the Western States Swap in Reno. Prior to his death, with failing health he would have his daughter bring him to the swap. Those of us who knew and traded with H. J. certainly miss him. This is his story concerning this great set of Aircraft. Each of the pins are numbered 1 through 20. When he traded a set he also gave a copy of the letter explaining each set. A copy of each letter is shown here for your information. For those who collect aircraft pins this set is one of the nicest ever issued. August 1, 1993 Dear Lion Enclosed is a set of my personal Lion pin trading pins that I wish to share with you. This is the first of the se- ries. You should find four different pins representing four of the aircraft that I have flown as a pilot. I hope to be able to share with you over the next few years some others. Pin #1 is a Cub which is the first airplane I flew and trained for my license in 1936. Pin #2 is a Navy Training Biwing plane that I flew in my naval pilot training starting out in Seattle, Washington and going onto Jacksonville, Florida.
