Flying Report - January 28

Santa Ana winds kept the Farmers Airship tied to the mast and bobbing about on our front doorstep at EAA Chapter 14, Brown Field’s Saturday fly in luncheon. Sure makes a magnificent windsock. The winds didn’t stop the Buckers from arriving on schedule, nor quite a selection of other aircraft. Severe clear, warm, sunny January weather prevailed, our best yet. Jeff Cote and Todd Davis flew Ray’s Glassair in, parked it front and center for display. Ray has donated it to his son Jeff, an American Airline pilot who plans to fly it to his home in Mesa, AZ, Tuesday.

Andrey Fedorenko arrived on his gleaming motorcycle, tempting fate doubly with his Kitfox nearly ready to fly also. Larry Rothrock and his survey crew, Ryan, Dennis Cullum, Paul Hanson, Gary List, Kevin Roche, and Jerry Boughner lay out the site for the T hangar soon to arrive from Montgomery Field. A work party is scheduled Tuesday, 10 o’clock, meeting at the restaurant at Montgomery, to complete disassembly and ready the hangar for towing.

Gene Hubbard served lasagna, meat or veggy, green salad, fruit cocktail, and ice cream to 48 diners. We ate it all! Bob Johnson chaired an organizational meeting of the Flying Octogenarians, for those who were qualified pilots following an 80th birthday, in the library. Some dozen or so attended and elected Bob as Chairman. Services for Ernie Shattuck have been scheduled at Miramar National Cemetery for Wednesday, 15 February at 1p.m. The scattering of ashes by air, off Torrey Pines is also pending.

Keep 'em flyin' BobO

Lot's of things are going on at Chapter 14; several aircraft are under construction at the chapter facilities, we are continuing to fly Young Eagles each month (2nd Saturday), and we still serve the best $3 lunch in town--  every Saturday at 11:30 in Hangar 1.  I understand there's also lots of activity on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
