The following article was sent to me by my buddy Dave Viviano.  It's written by someone I don't know personally.  This is the perfect article for "CONTACT!" so that's why I put it in this issue.  Jeff Bryant, I couldn't have put it better myself.  Read on "CONTACT!" subscribers, because I've got homework for those with ambition and a love of flight.

For those needing a reason of some kind for buying an Aircraft 

I have read many posts on the web site from members and on MMAIL who are thinking about owning their own aircraft and looking for ways to offset the cost of ownership. I have heard many reasons for and against ownership. Why buy an aircraft? It's cheaper to rent and you do not have all the hassle with maintenance, fuel and insurance. Well, here is a little story that I think explains it all as to why I own my own airplane. 

It was a beautiful Saturday morning. No winds and the temperature was just right. So instead of mowing the lawn like my wife had planned for me, I decided to go to the airport and take the Sport out for a run. She yells back at me, "WELL IF YOU GO, TAKE YOUR SON WITH YOU." So I ask my son. Want to go flying with dad? In which he says Yea, Can I take my light saber? 

You see, my 9 year son thinks he is a Jedi Knight and that our Sport is his personal X-Wing fighter. He is only 4'5 and has to sit on a pillow in order to see over the glare shield and he always carries his light saber just in case we land on a strange planet in which there might be trouble or civil un-rest. Always prepared this one is. So away we go. 

THERE I WAS.... 

We were straight and level at around 6,000ft and I let him take the controls of the "X-Wing" to do some turns to the left and right. Joshua Approach called and said there was traffic at our 2'oclock 2 miles opposite direction and my son said to me "Look over there dad, 'Tie fighter' coming right at us".  I told him to steer clear of the Tie Fighter because our lasers were out for repair and we were un-armed. No reason to provoke a fight. 

So even though he is having a blast, I am starting to get a little bored and thought, "Let's go do a practice approach on the ILS". So I called Joshua Approach, requested the ILS 25 Approach to Palmdale Full Approach and off we went. I maneuvered the X-Wing to the VOR and started the turn outbound to the outer marker. Now my son is just really enjoying this. At the outer marker, the blue light started to flash and you could hear the BEEP in the headset. My Son jumps in and said "That Tie Fighter has locked on to us"! I said "That's Right" and I started my evasive maneuver on the procedure turn. 

My Son is listening to the exchange between me and the controller and wants to chime in on the conversion. I said to my son, "Just hang on; I will give you a chance". I never should have said that because now he is all excited to talk on the radio. As I start to turn inbound on the turn, the Approach control said "Contact tower when established on the localizer". So I told my young Padawan Learner "OK, when this needle gets here on the dial, push the radio button and tell the tower that 93 Romeo is inbound on the localizer". 

Now imagine this, I am giving basic instrument instruction to a 9 year old. Before I can give him something simpler to say he keys the mike and says "REBEL BASE, THIS IS RED 5. WE ARE STARTING OUR ATTACK RUN ON THE DEATH STAR". 

Good God!!! 

Now this was post 9/11, and before I can key my mike and say anything, the tower jumps on and says "RED 5, YOUR CLEARED FOR THE APPROACH TO THE DEATH STAR. REPORT HITS AWAY" 

Now I am waiting for the tower to add "And tell your dad to call this number" But I hear nothing else. So we continue the approach. Now my son is in heaven. This is real life stuff to him and he is doing everything I tell him to do as far as tracking the needle. As we approach the outer marker inbound, the light starts to flash and there is that tone again. "Dad, the Death Star has a lock on us". Yes Son, you keep on the approach, I will worry about the guns. 

Everything is going great and now we are approaching the middle marker.  My son has noticed the GPS has a red line with an airplane on it and it ends at the Death Star. So he asks me "IS THAT A TARGETING COMPUTER DAD?" Well of course it is, and it shows us where we are to the target. So now he hears Obewan tell him to USE THE FORCE SCOTT and he turns the GPS OFF. Tells me he is OK and does not need the targeting computer because he is using the FORCE. 

Now the middle marker light flashes and the tone comes on. I apply full power and the airplane,,,X-Wing,,, Starts a climb. I start the turn to the missed approach path when my son keys the mike and says "HITS AWAY". The tower answers back with "GOOD JOB RED 5, CONTACT REBEL APPROACH ON 126.1" 

We go back to Mojave SPACEPORT, and I decide that the X-Wing needs a bath. So out comes all the cleaning stuff and we spend the rest of the day washing and waxing the turbo jets and laser pods. 

So you see. This is why I own my own aircraft. You cannot beat this kind of quality time with your kids. And there is no way you can put a price on that.

Hey everybody, this weekend was a truly amazing weekend again! I keep getting more and more amazing flights every weekend. I hope this keeps happening for the rest of my life.

Well, I needed to do a solo 300 nautical mile cross country for my commercial rating that I'm working on very hard. So I looked for places to go and thought I'd go a little farther than 300 and get to go somewhere interesting and warm. So I picked St. Louis! Its around 460 miles away from St.Louis. I left Saturday around 10 am from Mankato, Minnesota headed GPS direct to St. Louis Downtown airport. I had a 30kt tailwind down there at 7,500ft msl so it only took me about 3.5 hours and one tank of gas! Final result gave me about 150mph over the ground. Arriving at St. Louis was pretty exciting. It is a class B airspace which is huge due to St. Louis International airport and the downtown airport I was going to was pretty close to the international one. Air Traffic Controllers helped me out with a VFR flight following and the next thing I knew, I was flying right by the St. Louis Arch! It was pretty hard to stay focused on flying the plane with all the sights around and the really busy airspace but I made it. After landing at St. Louis Downtown Airport I checked out the courtesy car and headed for downtown. Grabbed some cheap food at McDonald's and the next thing I knew I was in downtown St. Louis! It's just so mind boggling to leave a wintery cold environment in Minnesota and come to St. Louis where the grass was getting green and it was warm! All within a few hours flight. And to just think that Charles Lindbergh was once in the same airspace as I was once upon a time. How cool is that.

After finally finding a parking spot I went over to the arch to check it out. I couldn't believe how big it was! It is 630ft tall and you can even go up in it! Underneath there's a couple museums, shops and the elevator to get to the top. It truly is one magnificent engineers design and to think it was made back in the 40's. To bad I couldn't spend all day there. 

After spending the afternoon in downtown St. Louis soaking up the warm weather, the Arch, and the beautiful Mississippi River flowing by, I headed back to the airport. I left around 4pm and had a pretty mean headwind coming back. This time I was only going 92mph instead of 150. I stayed low at 1000 ft above ground to stay out of the stronger winds aloft. An hour later I watched the sunset on another cloudless day.
My fuel stop on the way back was in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. After that I had another hour and a half or so till Mankato. Once I got back to Mankato, I stepped out of the plane an experienced cold winter temp and that thing called snow once again.

All in all it was an amazing day and 8.5 hours of sitting in N6111Q. Couldn't beat the cloudless sky's all the way there and back and the great views. It was definitely a great experience and an unforgettable trip to St. Louis. I just can't get enough of this flying thing and what another great time to be a pilot!!!!

Where to next???? It's amazing where you can go in a weekend with a Cessan 152! 

Blue Sky's Always,
Brian

Stalls & Spins Clinic April 29th Is Free!!

     With the return of the Citabria, we want everyone to know its here and available to fly.  One of the ways we use it to help improve flying skills is through stall and spin training.  That's why we're having this year's clinic.  If you only want to come to the ground school, that's great!  And it's free!  We hope you'll want to continue with the flight training portion of the course. 

     You don't have to be a tailwheel endorsed pilot.  This course is designed to help pilots understand stalls and spins.  If you've never experienced a spin, this course is for you.  For those of you who would like to earn their "Spin Training Endorsement", this ground and flight course will help get you there.  If you don't want to fly the entire portion of the flight curriculum that's O.K. too.  We just want to help you go as far as you want to and to help you better understand what have become "the mysteries of the stall/spin".

Please sign up sooner than later so we know how many sets of materials to have available.  Flight instructor John P. Chmiel uses PowerPoint and video to get his points across.  Come join us for this interesting flight adventure.

Stalls & Spins Clinic* NTSB and FAA statistics show that the classic “Stall/Spin” scenario is still a common cause of airplane accidents each year.  The question is why?  In the ground portion of this clinic, Flight Instructor John Chmiel will review the proper stall entry and recovery  techniques for power-on & power-off stalls in all attitudes (straight-and-level, climbing, descending, turning).  Scenario Based Training examples will be presented for the classic “Moose Stall”, “Cross-controlled” base-to-final stall, and the “Go Around Trim” stall.  Video and simulator examples will be used to graphically push the point home.  The goal of this course is to teach the pilot how to feel more comfortable with stall entries and recoveries, to confirm proper control input technique for stall/spin recovery,  to help them identify the signs of a stall/spin, and to know how to identify and avoid the chain of events that lead up to the classic stall/spin accident.  The 2.5 hour flight portion of the program will then apply the knowledge reviewed in the clinic using our Champion Citabria. The flight will include power-off and power-on stall entries/recoveries, as well as, spin entries and recoveries.  If you don’t feel comfortable with stalls, if you’ve never experienced a spin, or if you would like a stall/spin refresher, this is the clinic for you.  * This course counts as an FAA Safety Program (WINGS).

What:  A class about stalls and spins, and how to avoid and recover from inadvertant spin entry  Where:  Wausau Flying Service, Inc.  When:  Saturday, April 29th  Time:  9:00 a.m. - 11:30 a.m.  Who:  All Pilots  Why:  To increase your comfort level and make flying more fun!  How Much:  The ground portion is free! The 2.5 hour flight portion  is optional and the flat rate is $269!

Clay "Pork Chop" Adams Possessing movie star good looks, this “captivating” airline Captain spends his summers barnstorming the upper Midwest in his brilliant blue 1929 Curtis Wright Travel Air 4000. With over 25,000 hours in more than 97 different airplanes, Captain Clay has flown just about everything since his first solo at the age of 16, making him a seasoned veteran as well as a superstar aviator.
	Rob "Waldo" Lock Flying the four passenger 1931 New Standard D-25 “family station wagon”, Waldo is truly the All-American boy next store. At 6’10”, this former NBA pro basketball player found just the right fit in open-cockpit biplanes and traded his basketball career for the life of a barnstormer. Rob now owns and operates the largest vintage biplane company in the US where he is still MVP, having flown over 30,000 passengers.
Gary "Pops" Lust With over 30 years and 15,000 hours in aircraft Gary “Pops” Lust is the senior barnstormer on the tour. Tracking grizzly bears and wolves through the wilderness of the northern Rockies as a wildlife research pilot for decades gave “Pops” his gray whiskers and superior flying skills. Piloting the “Flying Aces” 1929 Travel Air 4000, “pops” is no gambling man. The winning hand on the side of his plane pays tribute to the longest operating flying circus in the US.
	Stuart "Cap'n Mac" MacPherson Flying a gleaming white 1929 Travel Air, "Cap'n Mac" began his flying career over 35 years ago as a pilot/parachute jumper in Richard Bach's, Great American Flying Circus; he also participated in filming the barnstorming documentary, "Nothing By Chance". Over the years Stu and his Travel Air have shared the summer skies with over 14,000 passengers. When he hangs up his goggles "Cap'n Mac" becomes "Dr. Mac" mild-mannered, surfer-dude dentist riding the waves in San Diego, California.

A nostalgic salute to the daring young men and women who ventured across America during the 1920’s seeking fame and fortune in their biplanes dubbed “Barnstormers,” will visit Wausau as part of their nine-city tour of the Midwest in 2006. The American Barnstormers Tour brings as many as 20 vintage aircraft from the 1920s, ’30s and ’40s in a unique collection of airplanes and aviators. The meticulously restored and maintained aircraft will stop at Wausau Downtown airport in Wausau on Sunday and Monday, July 23-24.

The period between the end of World War I and the United States' entry into World War II is remembered as “The Golden Age of Aviation,” and it truly was. Barnstorming tours, trophy races, and record-setting flights all captured the public’s attention as they raced to see the daring flocks of birdman, and take their first flight in an open cockpit airplane.

“These aren’t airplanes, their Time Machines” said tour organizer Clay Adams. “Our tour gives people from all over the country the chance to travel back in time and experience the same sights, sounds, and excitement they would have felt some 80 years ago as they looked out across the fields and saw the Barnstormers on the horizon.”

 Each afternoon the aircraft will take to the skies for the “Barnstormers Parade of Flight” with master of ceremonies, the legendary “Mr. Travel Air,” Frank Rezich. Frank will entertain the crowd with his unique announcing style while they hear tall tales of barnstorming and learn the history of each biplane as the pilots perform overhead. Spectators can even experience the thrill of open cockpit flight for themselves and go barnstorming in a beautifully restored Travel Air or New Standard vintage biplane. Biplane rides will be available daily weather permitting. All barnstormers will participate in recreating the era with period costumes, aircraft signage, historical information, and vintage props

      The American Barnstormers Tour was born under the wing of an antique Travel Air biplane, as a group of friends and vintage airplane aficionados began to talk of resurrecting the barnstorming tours of the 1920s, where many local citizens would see their first airplane up close, or perhaps spend a few dollars for their first flight. Tour organizers saw an opportunity to give visitors from all backgrounds a unique vantage point to connect the past with the present.

The Tour aircraft will be on display from approximately 11am to 6pm (weather permitting), admission is free. Biplane rides are available for $45.00 per passenger, no reservations. For more information visit the American Barnstormers web site at

This is going to be the coolest event since the National Air Tour hit Wausau in 2003, but this time your favorite airplanes will be giving rides to the public over Wausau.  Put it on you calendars folks.  Their bringing their ships in the weekend before the big show in Oshkosh.  And it gets better . . .

This week I spoke with the cool cat leader of a smokin' swing band.  If everything goes as planned, the swing dance is coming back to the Wausau Downtown Airport the evening of July 23rd.  So start pullin' out the vintage clothing so you can dress to the 9's.  There's more about the Barnstormers Tour later in this issue.  I'll get you more details about the dance when I know them.

Our plan of action on the glider is as follows:

    1.  Photograph everything as is with a digital camera and write down what was in each picture.  A yardstick or similar measuring device should be in each photo.  A white background should be used.
    2.  Disassemble all the parts from the steel tubing, labeling each part.  Sequence the disassemby from top to bottom, front to back.  Make patterns of each part.
    3.  Clean up the steel tubing using wire brushes or by sandblasting.
    4.  Immediately paint the steel tubing with primer to prevent it from re-rusting.
    5.  Replace the bent and missing steel tubes.  This will require welding.
    6.  Replace all wooden parts.  We have some from Greenville and will have to manufacture others.  We can use some of the removed pieces for patterns, but will have to rely on the blueprints for the rest.
    7.  Replace all other missing parts, such as the control wheels, control cables, instrument panel, etc.
    I will keep all records in 3-ring binders for easy reference.  When we get done with step #7 we will be done with our portion and it will be ready to return to Iron Mountain. 

     We will use all the removed parts as patterns to restore the glider.  We will soon be cleaning up the steel tubing and welding in the missing pieces.  If you can help, please contact me at 573-7063.  All help will be appreciated. 

Free admission, free popcorn, free soda, free coffee, free hot apple cider and free hot chocolate will be served!

If you do not have gate access to the hangar area at the Wausau Airport, just park in the parking lot by the hangar fence by the new hangars.  Look for the white sign that says "Push Red Button to Ring Bell in Syd's hangar".  Syd will come out and let you in at the service gate.
 

As you know what the FAA calls "Human Factors", CRM, judgement, etc. seems to fascinate me right now.  So I'm getting everything I can on the subject.  Tony's book covers this subject very thoroughly. 

Redefining Airmanship, by Tony Kern, is an excellent book.  But, you have to want to learn the subject.  It is written text book style and requires much re-reading to process thoroughly.  Kern's text is aimed toward military and commercial pilots and very serious GA pilots.  Basically what Tony Kern has done is defined airmanship and given pilots a model for how to improve.  The basic model is this: 

1. To become the best flyer you can be you must work from a solid foundation of discipline, skill, and proficiency. 

2. You must then continually pursue 5 pillars of knowledge:  self, aircraft, team, environment, and risk. 

3.  The capstones of this pursuit is increased situational awareness and judgement. 

He also gives you a plan to improve in all these areas, how to teach using this model and how the debrief using this model.  It's great information, but it reads like a textbook. You have to want this information because it doesn't creep up on you. 

If you read this book, follow its course of action, you will become a superior aviator.  There are many parallels between Artful Flying by Michael Maya Charles and Redefining Airmanship, but this book may not be as palatable for the "fly for fun" guys.  I enjoyed the book though and learned a lot.   Artful Flying takes an "eastern" approach to flying.  Redefining Airmanship is definately "western".

Here's a letter of request that I received from Jeff Dix, the Air Boss for the 2006 Wausau Balloon Rally:

John;

 . . . The dates will be July 7,8,9 2006. Also could you put in a request in your next newsletter for volunteers for safety and crowd control. They can contact me at (715) 675-1357, P.O. Box 6075 Wausau, WI. 54402 or at my new e-mail jdix10@hotmail.com.
