USS Ronald Reagan with Marlon Young
Marlon will describe the Navy's distinguished visitor program,
and the 24 hours he spent on the USS Ronald Reagan while it was
conducting operations at sea. A rare, first-hand look at carrier
operations!
Many thanks to Will Whiteside for taking the time to get me
comfortable with the G3X under instrument flying conditions and
for doing an IPC just in time to go to Arlington. It’s nice to have
everything working. In line with that, I also did some night flying
for the first time in years and found that the Legacy landing lights
were totally inadequate for night landings at small airports with
regular runway lights. That was fixed after Oshkosh with an
AeroSun LED landing light – much better. It fits on the left main
gear leg, but just barely (there’s not even enough room for a
regular 4509 PAR 36 lamp). This was tested out one evening with
Carol Lawson (Citabria owner) as safety pilot, flying to Vacaville,
Willows and Santa Rosa for some night practice.

January 1: Morning Flyout – Get the New Year Started Right
Here and There – Lancair Travels in 2015
(by Andy Werback)
It seems like it has been a busy year for flying – especially the
last few weeks.
We had the Hayfork flyout which was very
enjoyable (there sure are a lot of hills between here and there), in
June, quickly followed by Arlington Fly-In and AirVenture in July. A
couple of quiet months, then we had Wings Over Wine Country, the
California Capitol Fly-In and Airshow, a day at the KEDU (UC Davis)
Airport Day, and then a week-long trip to New Mexico and Arizona.
Much of this was based on getting a couple of things done on
the Legacy in time to do some training. Last December we
removed the leading edge-fuselage fairings (delaminated, dry
carbon layup) and replaced them with foam and carbon fiber.
About the same time, I installed the G3X EFIS and started the
learning curve on that system. My painter finally had time to
repaint the fuselage in April-May, so it wasn’t until almost June that
everything was up and running.
Titan at Tucson
The event at Davis was just for static displays. Dr. Stephen
Robinson invited us over to be part of their Aerospace and
Mechanical Engineering display, and Jill Brigham was also there, so
it was nice to see them again.
I guess I’ve heard about the California Capitol Airshow, but I
never knew what or where it was. Well, for the last 10 years or so,
since Mather (KMHR) was turned over to the County of
Sacramento, they have been having a pretty big static display and
airshow there. We had the Thunderbirds and Snowbirds, plus
displays of a C-5, C-54, B-17, B-25, P-51’s and many more. The
event was well attended, but the potential interest for new
homebuilders seemed to be pretty slight.

The last trip was to Las Cruces, NM to visit my college
roommate Tim and his wife Nikki, whom I hadn’t seen since
graduation. He went into the Navy, became a fleet Oceanographer
and Weather Officer, and retired a few years ago to a nice location
with a good view of the Organ Mountains to the east. Dinner the
first evening was at La Posta, in Mesilla. It dates from 1840 and
started as a stage coach station. Excellent margaritas! We spent a
day touring White Sands Missile Range and the Museum, sampled
the green Chile hamburger special in Alamogordo, discovered that
there are a lot of almond and pistachio orchards in that area and in
general, had a really good time. Turns out you can sled down the
white sands, so we did!
Quick note – On the way to Las Cruces, we stopped for fuel at
the Ak Chin (A39) airport near Phoenix. Main attraction was that
100LL was 3.59/gal. I have not seen a price like that in, I think, a
fairly long time.
From there, we went to Tucson, AZ, to visit my cousin Tom and
his wife Debbie. He is working on his 4th or 5th career, this time to
be an MD, and he’s making great progress (he has some prior
experience, which is helpful). The main item of interest was the
Titan Missile Museum, located just a few miles south of Tucson.
This is the only Cold War missile installation open to the public. It’s
in very good condition, and the tour and the docents are excellent.
We had visited the Pima Air Museum before, so the next stop was
to the old mining town of Bisbee. I had not been to that part of
southern Arizona before, and was very impressed by how green
and nice it was – ideal for ranching. We visited the Copper Queen
Mine (another good tour!) and the town of Bisbee – lots of Old
West stuff, Main Street, art, the Copper Queen Hotel, antiques – as
you would expect. Bisbee was also interesting to us as we read a
lot of mystery books based in the Bisbee area by J. A. Jance – and
there is a J. A. Jance room at the Copper Queen Hotel.
Another quick note – Lots of thunderstorm activity around
Tucson, and the Arizona Guard F-16’s were rocketing around
runway 11L Friday evening, so we were vectored to 11R for an
easy landing and taxi to the FBO. Atlantic Aviation was very
efficient, fuel was reasonable, but they do charge a $10 security
fee and $20 per night.
The rest of the trip back was also interesting – the tropical
weather was still pretty active in the Arizona and Southern CA.
area, with lots of build-ups in the deserts. We were traveling on a
Sunday, though, and LA Center was able to give us a direct
clearance through the Edwards restricted area. We finished up the
2 - Top -
trip with a visit to a fellow homebuilt judge at the Rosamond
airport, then back to sunshine and Wine Country and a couple
hours of cleaning the airplane!
526 in Auburn by 1 point!
Though individual awards are not given for this Competition, it
was interesting to note that the highest scoring entrant was Dennis
Willerton from Chapter 52 in Sacramento. At 80 years of age,
Dennis entered a beautiful, high scoring Van's RV 12 and being the
oldest participating pilot, received a 10 point bonus.
Congratulations and great job Dennis!
In a similar vein I'd like to acknowledge Rick Stockton (also
from Sacramento 52) for winning the Spot Landing Contest in his
Europa.
Last but not least, special kudos to Isaac Sepian from 512 in
Placerville who at 18 is the youngest pilot to have ever participated
at the G.W. Competition.
As if the 10 bonus points were not
enough for being the youngest entrant, Issac and his 18 year old
companion/bombardier took 1st and 3rd in the Flour Bombing
Competition flying a Cessna 150.........other Chapters, how old is
your youngest member? Great job 512.!
I hope you
enjoy some photos from this year's
gathering.....happy flying!

Golden West Fly-in and Contest
(by Jim Booth email to Chapters)
EAA ChaptersLast Saturday Marysville Airport hosted the Golden West Fly-In
and among the activities was the 4th annual EAA Chapter vs.
Chapter Competition. This year's event was greeted by several
passing showers that failed to "dampen" the enthusiasm of those in
attendance. In all 5 Chapters participated while several others
were unable to make the journey due to unsettled weather closer
to home.
Chapter 1175 from Grass Valley/Nevada City took top honors
this year ($350 check in hand upon departure), having previously
won in 2013. Last year's Champion 1541 from Lincoln took 2nd
Place followed by 3rd Place 52 from Sacramento, who edged out
"MR. WEEKS, WHAT CAN YOU SHARE WITH ME ABOUT MY
DAD'S TELLING ME THAT HE HAD TO THROW HIS SUITCASE OUT
OF YOUR AIRPLANE WHILE CLIMBING OVER THE MOUNTAINS
APPROACHING EL PASO LATE ONE NIGHT ? "
At an Air Force Base near Phoenix, your Dad and I received
orders to report for pilot training class openings. We decided to
share the cost of traveling back to our home state. In kind of “great
circle route” to visit our Wisconsin folks before reporting to San
Antonio for Air Force pilot training's initial phase.
3 - Top -
I had a two-place Cessna 140 instead of a car. One of our
Cadet friends dropped us off at a crop duster's strip. Where my
airplane had been carefully tied down.
It was a moonless night with no horizon. Filled with more than
our share of “get-home-i-tis” we decided not to hang around 'til
pre-dawn. We filled up the small aircraft's seats, luggage area and
fuel tanks with what became too much human flesh, gasoline and
baggage and over-grossed the Cessna's weight limit.
The crop duster's dirt strip had no electric boundary lights. On
the other hand, it did have beat-up kerosene marker pots. As I
taxied the Cessna down the line of kerosene pots, your Dad would
leap out to light each lamp wick with his Zippo lighter.
Unfortunately, by the time we'd taxied back to runway's take-off
end unfriendly wind gusts would blow them all out.
We spent 20 or so minutes of taxiing back and forth attempting this. But this time, we turned around for take-off. And
whoopee-do 3 football fields down the Arizona dirt runway There
was a SINGLE kerosene wick still burning. And the gusts hadn't '
wiffed it out as yet !
With the Cessna's throttle up against detent my 20 year old's
brain had intuitively decided to accept a reasonable additional level
of random risk.
And as we headed for the single flame random gusts were
attempting to snuff out. Halfway there we'd accelerated pasts 4550 mph when it snuffed!
But even absolute darkness the snuffed wick's exact location
was fixed in my mind. And as the seat of my pants lifted us off the
dirt my side vision glanced over at your Dad. In the instrument's
lights his eyes were dancing. And he was wearing that lop-sided
and infectious grin we both smilingly re-member. I'd correctly
assumed the single pot was on the runway's right edge, although
the dirt on its BOTH sides were ' runway flat.'
Missed.
We staggered up into a blackness only to be
experienced over a desert with no folks living within many miles. I
reasoned that we would initially head for Tucson. Because
fortunately, I had adequate foolhardiness to fly straight to
Wisconsin like a vulnerable egg close above wide, uninhabited,
waterless high desert mountains far away from any red-beaconed
airways.
Instead I elected to fly a hundred miles “side ways” down
toward Mexico before pointing our eager faces toward home.
Mistakenly, I thought it would be prudent to top off the gas at
Tucson to allow more flight time to mess around the edges of any
complicated ugly weather choosing to block our long cross-country.
In general that's a safety first thought. But in the specific it can
“wipe you out.”
With our overload of baggage plus completely-filled gas tanks
we were flying at the airplane's maxed out gross weight.
Particularly, after squeezing in a couple of husky fighter pilot
hopefuls in front of substantial luggage. At o'dark thirty, we landed
and topped off the Cessna's fuel tanks at an FBO in Tucson Arizona.
Without the advantage of stars or moonlight, we then
staggered for altitude toward El Paso now in the general direction
of our families. Every 30 miles or so there was a red airway beacon
identifying the center of the “road”. And the final red beacon, would
be on the peak of those 9,000 foot mountains just west of the city.
And the ill-considered decision in topping off the fuel tanks at
Tucson now became a humongous threat.
An hour later, still climbing at only 15-20 feet per minute, we
approached our final red beacon on that ultra high mountain just
West of El Paso. After grinding along for over an hour and a half we
were slowly erasing 6.2 lb. of gas per hour in a still heavy Cessna
gaining altitude much too slowly in thinner and thinner air.
It was a straight ahead climb hanging on the Cessna's
propeller. And we were NOT going to clear the 9,000 foot high red
beacon structure directly ahead not without making one or two
climbing turns. But there was not any kind of turn we could safely
make without a genuine fear of “falling out” of the turn into the
dark on dark desert's moonless void.
The Cessna's instrument panel : had [ 1 ] no turn and bank
indicator [ 2 ] nor did the 2 place airplane have an artificial horizon
gyro. In opaque darkness there was absolutely no sign of the
actual horizon.
4 - Top -
A 360 degree climbing turn could not be attempted without
chancing vertigo and falling into deadman's spiral turn then augur
into mountain absolute harshness close below our then cringing “
rear ends.”
I said: "Bal, we are going to be pressing close against this
airway's red beacon. I need you to throw your large suitcase out
the door, just to make sure we don't SLAM into that red beacon
coming up fast. DO IT NOW!"
I remember Bal's suitcase was large and heavy. But with one
smooth motion, your Dad clicked open his door rotated the clumsy
suitcase.
And down it went into the “dark on dark.” To explode with its
remnants revealed to some astonished prospector digging 'round
that lonely high desert mountaintop now close below.
“Think of it this way Lonnie it's possible in the corner of his
mind your father thought he might be swapping that heavy suitcase for his immediate future zooming around in some of the
world's best airplanes. Then someday enjoy raising a son like you!"
Tom Weeks
What Now?
New builders who have not picked a plane are asked: “What
kind of flying do you want to do?” The question I never heard, but
influenced me is “What kind of building do you want to do?”
Those of us who get a kick out of welding may want a tube and
fabric job. Fabric also goes with a wood structure and on the
lighter side, aluminum. Add to that the geometric fascinations of
composites and the more cut and definitely more dry (no catalyst
required) all aluminum airplanes and you round out the pack.
From plans built to kits to fast builds to “assemble only”
ultralights, there is some trade off of performance and build time
that feels right to the prospective builder and so the project goes
from choosing to building.
For most projects, airplanes included, the beginning and the
end are the big days. In between the “can do” and “wow I did it!”
is “how to?”, “where to?”, “who can I ask?” and possibly an “are
you going to?” from time to time.
The neat trick is to keep flying while you are building so you
can have the best of both worlds. If you manage to do that then
you get a prize (you should). But if the weather doesn't cooperate
at least you can be working on your airplane.

Fly Mart
With the fire season winding down, the CalFire air tankers are
spending more time on the ground. Lots of little kids love a good
fire engine and they even show up in parades from time to time, so
we need not feel guilty about our fascination with airplanes used to
put out fires.
From here it looks like parading military and
emergency equipment is part of the effort of maintaining support
among civilians and those who might serve the cause one day.
Of course, only flying when you are training or have a mission
is pretty much the same for most pilots. The recreational pilot just
has the option to decide what mission to perform.
Travel,
sightseeing, bucket list, airport list, sport, anything to get off the
ground or the water. Beyond flying of course, there is building and
understanding flight systems. Making sure you stay in the air
without mechanical concerns is a key item. Some pilots take this by
the horns and know all about their planes and some leave it to
other folks.
If you want maximum control over your plane you can follow
the road to discovery and build one.

EAA Chapter 124 Board Meeting Minutes
October 7, 2015
Trivia – What and Who is this?
Transavia PL-12 Airtruk
Mad Max Version
If a kangaroo could do aerial spraying, it would look like this
airplane. If I were going to name it, it would be the flying Kiwi. If
that sounds mixed up, here is the Wikipedia page.
Called to order by Pres. Jim Boyer at 5:32 pm.
Attending: Pres. Boyer, Andy Werback, Larry Rengstorf, Ray
Shipway, Sher Miersemann, Dave
Heal, Steve Smith, Ron Cassero, Ben Barker. Bob Gutteridge joined
at 5:40 pm.
Pres. Boyer reported:
• Good member support of the EAA tent at Wings Over Wine
Country (WOWC) with one aircraft displayed on Saturday and four
on Sunday.
• The Nominating Committee has found candidates willing to stand
for each of the offices in the election to be held next month.
Nominations from the membership will be accepted until the
election.
• He plans to call a special planning meeting of the Board in
January or February 2016.
• Most of the rental arrears have been cleared up. The only
exception stems from an aircraft that has been moved to CAFE.
Ray Shipway reported that the Lakeport Splash-In enjoyed
enthusiastic community support and was attended by a dozen
floatplanes. Pilot attendance was down compared to past years,
likely affected by the Valley Fire TFR and the simultaneous WOWC
airshow.
Larry Rengstorf in his Facilities report stated that:
• Members overfilled the oil waste barrel again, requiring most of a
day for him to clean up the mess.
• Sonoma County’s contract building inspector examined the
Chapter and CAFE buildings over two days. He noted the leaky roof
over the meeting room and found a few other structural problems.
his report was not yet available.
• He received a letter from the Airport Manager’s office announcing
the hiring of First Security Services to provide night security patrol
service between the hours of 2230 and 0530.
Andy Werback proposed that a team of three Chapter members
enter the competition (concours, flour bombing, etc.) at the Golden
West Flyin on October 17 at Marysville. He will recruit pilots at the
general membership meeting.
Ray and Sher reported that they are working with Josh Hochberg
to hold a Young Eagles event at Sonoma Jet Center (SJC) on
November 17, 2015.
7 - Top -
Ron Cassero announced that SJC is moving its maintenance
operation, including parts storage, to Nob Hill hangar 22. This is to
increase SJC’s ability to offer indoor parking to more and larger
aircraft. Ron also reported that in Cloverdale on October 22-24,
Red Bull will be using helicopters to suspend “pylons” vertically for
wing-suited skydivers to slalom through in a filmed competition.
Meeting adjourned at 6:05 pm.
Respectfully submitted,
Ben Barker, on behalf of
Mark Tuma, Secretary
