Celebration and a helping hand

Time certainly has a habit of sneaking up on you As I write this we have only 23 months to go until we celeshybrate 100 years of powered flight with EAAs flight of a reproduction of the 1903 Wright Flyer at Kitty Hawk North Carolina This amazing airplane is taking shape in the shop of Ken Hyde and the Wright Experience

At this years EAA Sun n Fun Fly-In at Lakeland Florida be sure to check out the Centennial of Flight tent display for a wide range of displays highlighting the celeshybration of EAAs Countdown to Kitty Hawk After Sun n Fun all eyes will be focused on the 2002 edition of EAA AirVenture Oshkosh where well continue to honor the Wright brothers achievements

Time really does streak by Heres a graphic examshyple-during this years EAA AirVenture event well take part in festivities that will commemorate the 50th anshyniversary of EAAs annual fly-in which was first held in September 1953 Fifty years of EAA conventions It hardly seems possible but indeed the 2002 gathering is the fiftieth such event which took place during the first year of EAAs existence (EAA came into being on January 26 1953)

Were quite pleased to announce that the VAA will be helping the EAA commemorate that first gathering with a special display in the grassy area just north of VAAs Red Barn south of AeroShell Square (often referred to as the West Ramp) EAA is well along in its planning of a reshycreation of that first gathering with many of the airplanes and displays that were present at that first event on hand during EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2002 It really is amazing to see how far weve come as an organishyzation Now with more than 170000 diverse people who embrace literally everything from single-place lightshyplanes to rocket-powered homebuilts EAA and its family of like-minded enthusiasts such as the Warbirds of Amershyica lAC and your Vintage Aircraft Association compose the vast majority of what we now refer to as general aviashytion We are in need of any information photos 8 mm movies or any other documents you may have on hand to help with this project Call the EAA Aviation Centershy920426-4825-if you can aid us in helping EAA with this research

I do hope you took a few minutes to read last months guest editorial by EAA President Tom Poberezny Tom said it well and we encourage all VAA members to reshysponSibly exercise the privileges of their certificate What

better way to show the world that we are all responsible capashyble individuals who enjoy the freedom of the skies in the same way a sailor revels in taking to the nations waterways or an automobile or motorcycle enshythusiast takes to the highways Plan on attending EAA AirVenture and showing the world that no matter where we fly from the events of last September will not cause us to cower and retreat See you at the fly-in

As we are often reminded for good or bad we are still a pretty small group of people Its not so good when youre trying to be heard above the crowd of other voices calling for restrictions A nice part of being a small group is that we often know and take care of one another Unshyfortunately sometimes things dont go as planned and it really can put a sour taste in someones mouth if he feels the community didnt treat him well

Weve all heard stories about parts being sent out for repair and then not being returned to their owners When and if the part finally does get back to the owner it turns out to not be the same one sent in Thats very disappointing and it belays the trust placed in the recipishyent by the parts owner

This type of situation recently happened to me and I am disappointed and not happy that this has come to pass For the time being Ill continue to believe that the situation will reach a satisfactory conclusion I was disshycussing this matter with a fellow antique owner who felt that this type of occurrence should not happen in aviashytion We in the old airplane group must have trust in one another and once something is lent it shou ld be reshyturned in as good or better condition For instance if you were rebuilding a Piper J-2 but you had no side window frames you may find someone who had a frame that you could use as a pattern Theyd trust that you would reshyturn the frame after you were finished I know some people who are so helpful that they might even make an extra set and give the new and old frames back to the lender To keep our airplanes flying we all need to help one another My disheartening experience will not stop me from reaching out to be of help in the future

Lets all pull in the same direction for the good of aviation Remember we are better together Join us and have it all

VAA NEWS COMPILED BY HG FRAUTSCHY amp MARY JONES

Sport Pilot NPRM Release Imminent

As this issue goes to press the sport pilotlight-sport aircraft notice of proposed rulemaking is about to be published in the Federal Register There are plenty of opportunities for vintage aircraft enthusiasts to enjoy the privileges afforded by these proshyposed regulations so we encourage you to read and comment on the NPRM Check EAAs websites at wwweaaorg and wwwsportpilotorg for the latest on this issue

Commenting on the Sport Pilot NPRM

After the NPRM is published a 90-day public comment period will follow During that time anyshyone can officially register support concerns or questions about the proposed new rule EAA expects significant public input because the sport pilot rule will establish not only a new pilot certificate and a new aircraft category but also new aircraft maintenance regshyulations

There will be several ways to submit comments to the sport pishylot docket

1 You may submit a letter in triplicate to the docket office via

FRONT amp BACK COVERS The volshyunteers at Wally Fisks Polar Aviation Museum rebuilt this Reshypublic Seabee from a pile of parts The manual helped but persistshyence and helpful fellow owners really made the restoration possishyble On the back cover pilot Larry Mullaly skims along the sunlit surface of Wisconsins Lake Winshynebago EAA photos by Jim Koepnick shot with a Canon EOSIn equipped with an 80-200 mm lens on 100 ASA Fuji slide film EAA Cessna 210 photo plane flown by Bruce Moore

the mail Be sure to use the specific docket number which will be anshynounced with the NPRM

2 You may submit comments electronically

a) Via e-mail That process will be explained in detail when the NPRM is released

b) Via fax Again the proper fax number will be supplied with the NPRM

3 EAA will provide a direct link through both the wwweaaorg and wwwsportpilotorg websites to make general comments to the NPRM and to ask the FAA to add specific aircraft to the NPRM

Commenting on the NPRM will be very important However whats even more important is what you say and how you say it EAA offers this guidance

1 NOTE THAT ALL COMMENTS ARE OPEN TO PUBLIC REVIEW (For example that includes all meshydia members of medical and environmental groups and other governmental agencies)

2 Comments should be written reasonably and rationally Emoshytional or unsupported statements will be disregarded

3 Identify and be specific about which part of the rule you are comshymenting on

4 Be factual and if possible ofshyfer suggested changes to the regulatory language

s Keep your comments brief and to the point

6 Compose your own letter Form letters are not effective This is not a numbers game whats imshyportant is what you say and how you say it The FAA is interested in unique and useful comments

7 In particular EAA is concerned that inappropriate comments relashytive to the medical issue could be harmful We suggest that comments made to this issue speak to the fact that this rule change will reduce the

cost of obtaining a medical for many people The requirement to hold a valid US drivers license does esshytablish a medical requirement Therefore at no time should anyshyone make a reference to no medical being required

8 There is no limit to the numshyber of comments you can submit Separate comments may be subshymitted for different subjects

9 Your name address and phone number or e-mail address is required in case the FAA needs to contact you to help them undershystand your point of view

NEW BOOKS OF INTEREST VAA member and historian Chet

Peek has filled in one of the blank spots in the history of light aircraft in the United States with the publi shycation of his latest book Flying With 40 Horses A History of the Continental

A-40 Aircraft Engine and the Planes It Flew Chet takes us on a journey though the history of light aircraft engines setting the stage for the well-timed introduction of the Conshytinental A-40 in February 1931 Breaking down the $1000 engine cost barrier for an aircraft engine was just what the struggling light aircraft industry needed The Aeronca E-l13 of 36 hp was close but the next generation A-40 was just what the engineer ordered The A-40 weighed 147 pounds and

WANT TO SEND US A PHOTOGRAPH If youre thinking about sending a photograph to Vintage Airplane wed apshy

preciate it if youd follow these pointers All photographs must be sharp with the main subject in clear focus If its

not in focus in the photographic print or slide no amount of production magic on our part can make it usable for magazine reproduction

The same holds true for the exposure of the print If its over- or underexshyposed we cant fix it If it has problems like this we simply cant publish it Heres our list of acceptable photograph formats in order of preference

A 35 mm slides on 100 ASA or lower film B 4-by-6-inch or larger prints from 35 mm or larger negatives C Digital photographs- The digital file directly from the camera should

support a file that is 300 dpi at a photo size of 4-by-6 inches That does not mean that a low-resolution file can Simply be re-sized to the larger size-the file must be a high-resolution image for us to use it in a magazine Since prints from digital printers vary so widely in quality we prefer not to use them for publication unless they are printed with at least 300 dpi resolution on a high quality photo inkjet or dye sublimation printer using photo paper approshypriate for the printer Prints made on regular inkjet paper are not suitable for reproduction

To help you take a great picture of your airplane here are some tips to make it look its best

1 Shoot your photos early in the morning or later in the day Our favorite times are during the golden hour after sunrise or before sunset Avoid midshyday as the harsh shadows of noontime sun can obscure details Keep the sunlight on the nose and side of the airplane Facing the sun at about a 45shydegree angle seems to work well

2 Clean the airplane Even a coating of dust can make it look drab 3 Put away any accessories such as fueling steps or ladders Keep the

background clean When youre shooting the airplane avoid including other objects or people Be mindful of background landscape items such as airport antennae or control towers-in a photo they can appear to grow from your airshyplane The same holds true for people standing behind the airplane-your fuselage may sprout feet

4 Keep the horizon level in the viewfinder 5 Use a separate shot if you want to highlight people If a person is next to

the airplane please don t show them leaning on the prop 6 Dont have the engine running and no one in the cockpit 7 Take a number of photos and send us a selection of in-focus properly

exposed slides or prints Send them to EAA Vintage Airplane PO Box 3086 Oshkosh WI 54903-3086 E-mail vintageeaaorg

BRIGGS MARION SPECIAL

FEBRUARY 2002

1926 ARROW FIVE

Wayne Muxlow Minneapolis Minnesota sent us the one and only response to the November Mystery Plane

The November Mystery Plane is the 1926 Arrow Five Built by Arrow Aircraft amp Motor Corp Havelock Neshybraska

To clear up the March Mystery Plane it is not the Ben Jones Special but the Briggs Special also known as the Briggs-Marion It set a lightplane altitude record of 21750 feet in 1936

Pete Bowers submitted Novembers photo and he sent along this write-up with the photo

As identified in this photo taken October 13 1926 this one is called the Arrow Five

It looks like a 1924 Lincoln-Standard LS-5 fuselage with new tail surfaces and an entirely new one-bay wing with a single I-strut on each side Theres a 180-hp Hisso engine and a fou r-seat front cockpit with the two forshyward seats facing aft As on the LS-5 the front seats had side windows

Arrow later noted for the little sport biplane and the Ford V-8 powered ship seems to have started in 1926 with some person nel from Lincoln-Standard

The address on the back of the print says Havlock Nebraska Modern atlases and a search on the Internet show it to be Havelock located on the north side of Linshycoln The later Arrow firm supposedly founded in 1928 was at Lincoln where Lincoln-Standard later LincolnshyPage was located

The March Mystery Plane has now been positively identified as the Briggs Marion Special Designed and built by Harold Briggs an automobi le mechanic of Portland Oregon the Marion Special was powered by a 95-hp Cirrus Briggs and the Special were lost on April 28 1938 when the right wing parted from the aircraft during the climb-out after a dive Harold Briggs had been involved in building four airshyplanes The photo was taken at Swan Island Portland Oregon EAA has a copy of this photo in the Ralph Nortell collection and it has been attributed to Lloyd Phillips

VINTAGE AIRPLANE 5

I n early 1998 Walt Thomas menshytioned to Jim and Diane Morton his intent to fly his Cessna 140

from Maryland to Chino California for the International Cessna 120140 Association Convention The Morshytons and Walt agreed to make the trip together For Jim and Diane it was a once in a lifetime opportunity to fly their Cessna 140 NC89676 across the country Walt previously had flown N2026V to California in 1989

ACloudy Start On September 18 Jim called at

1400 Zulu to say that despite the overcast the weather was flyable We agreed to meet at Potomac Airfield (VKX) west of Andrews Air Force Base After everyone arrived near midday we refueled both planes and then Jim rechecked the weather

Our originally planned route was south-southeast to First Flight Airshyport (FFA-Kitty Hawk) and then west across North Carolina and Tenshynessee A warm front stretched from Missouri to Salisbury Maryland and everything south had low ceilings and poor visibility That dampened the start of our great adventure The weather was better to the north We revised our plan and departed VKX under a l400-foot overcast Ten miles north of Washington DC the cloud deck became broken and by Frederick (FDK) the sky was clear We landed at FDK ate lunch refushyeled and departed at 1935 Zulu At 4500 feet MSL we had clear skies

FEBRUARY 2002

Jim Morton and NC89676 pause before departing Cape May New Jersey Jims wife Diane served as navigator accommodations manager and phoshytographer

and an hour later picked up a westshybound tail wind 26V was doing S-turns behind 676 since Jim and Diane were breaking in a just-reshyplaced cylinder The next stop was Parr Airport (42I) just north of Zanesville Ohio Walt has been stopping there since 1980-its a nice airstrip and the airport owners (the Norman family) are very hosshypitable They provided a courtesy car for our overnight stay

The next morning we headed west through the haze at 1000 feet AGL passing Columbus and Dayton en route to Lebanon Indiana for refuelshying We lunched under clear skies in Casey Illinois where Richards Farm restaurant offers a free pick-up from and return to the airport The food

was excellent We refueled at Tayshylorsville Illinois and then flew west-southwest crossing the Mississhysippi River north of Saint Louis For our next overnight stop we landed at Elton Hensley Memorial Airport in central Missouri Harman Dickerson a renowned antique aircraft restorer and a good friend of Walts late fashyther befriended us Harman offered to take us to a local motel and joined us later for dinner Our transportation was unique-an original un-restored 1956 Cadillac DeVille in pristine conshydition We had our picture taken in front of his relic of Americana

Sunday morning Harman picked us up for breakfast At the airport we did our preflight and departed southshywest Harman joined up and flew

Waiting for the rain to stop and the ceiling to lift Walt rises up on his tipshytoes to confirm that the airplane he sees taxiing in is another Cessna 140 also en route to the 120 140 Convention

with us for several miles in his classic Piper The two Cessnas flew past Jefshyferson City over the Ozarks and landed at Neosho (EOS) for refueling and lunch We took off headed southwest into Oklahoma passing to the north of Tulsa following the Cimarron River At our stop at Guthrie (GOK) warm temperatures in the high 80s were accompanied by high winds Jim was concerned about the hotter temperatures affecting his planes performance so he took on only enough fuel to fill three-fourths of his tanks and put some of his bagshygage in Walters Cessna

Westward Ho Leaving Guthrie we headed westshy

southwest climbed to 8500 feet

MSL and picked up Interstate 40 near Clinton Oklahoma Another 60 miles under our wings and we were over the Texas Panhandle where the visibility was unreshystricted The vast expanse was breathtaking-we saw quilt-patshyterned farmlands 100 miles away The Earths horizon was a slightly curved line below a clear blue sky Breathtaking In another 40 minutes we entered Amarillo International Airport (AMA) airspace received vectors and landing clearance from AMA Approach and touched down just before 1900 local After fueling and securing our planes the folks from the FBO TAC Air drove us to the Hilton Inn Jim still was conshycerned about weight affecting his

Cessnas high-density-altitude pershyformance so extra clothing and other items were packed and shipped back to New Jersey Aftershyward we celebrated Jims birthday with dinner at the hotels pub and retired early

We departed AMA on the fourth day at 0815 local Our 140s climbed quickly in the cool smooth air to 6500 feet MSL Flying west along 1shy40 the terrain underneath began rising so we climbed to 8500 feet Santa Rosa New Mexico was our next stop we landed into a stiff 20shyknot breeze directly down Runway 26 Leaving Q58 we climbed again to 8500 feet and could see the Sanshydia Mountains 90 miles away Thirty miles east of Albuquerque civilizashytion reappeared The lead aircraft contacted ABQ Approach and our flight was given vectors to the Albushyquerque International Sunport Airport Once we passed the mounshytains we were given a lower altitude and landed on Runway 3 We taxied to Signature Flight Service where we were fueled and tied down Signashyture provided transportation to and from lunch

The High Country After lunch an FSS briefing showed

good weather westward Walt reshycalled the afternoon mountain turbulence during his previous trip west and suggested we call it a day Jim and Diane voted to press on The two 140s departed Runway 21 and

headed west 26V climbed out well but 676 was dragging its feet from the 5500-foot elevation 676 was carrying two fo lks and more weight than 26V even minus fuel and the stuff shipped east After 30 miles 676 reached 8500 feet-p lus or minus It was difficult to hold an altitude so we both chose to soar and sink in the thermals 120 mph nose-down in up-

drafts and 80 mph nose-up in downshydrafts We flew past Transcontinental Number 6 (Grant-Millan) and Transcontinenta l Number 5 These airstrips are the last ones remaining from those built in the 1920s as fuel stops for trans-southwestern air servshyice Just east of Transcon No 5 we passed the Continental Divide Beshycause t h erma ls and associated

turbulence were becoming worse we landed at Gallup The winds were 20 knots at 30 to 45 degrees to the runshyway so we bot h carried higher approach speeds and made wheel landings This was the first airport we noticed really heavy chains being used as tiedowns The strong winds made their existence obvious

Our fifth day began with a trip to the airport before sunrise Pullover sweaters and other layers were needed for the 39degF temperature but takeoff performance would be great We lifted off just after sunup departing east (downhill and upshywind) and turned west to follow the highway At 8500 feet MSL we had a 10- to 12-knot tail wind and unrestricted visibility The smooth morning air was enjoyab le espeshycially after yesterdays turbulence We passed the Petrified Forest and then headed over the desert past Holbrook and Winslow Arizona The famous meteor crater west of Winslow looked small from 8500 feet Vegetation reappeared 20 miles from Flagstaff where we also saw light rain showers Walt contacted the tower 14 miles out and our 140 flight was cleared to land straight in on Runway 21 As we landed light showers became a steady rain so we parked and tied down on the ramp and waited in the FBO It was so cold (low 40s) Walt wondered if wed soon have snow showers We had encountered up-slope showshyers A strong low off the Baja

Peninsula was pumping moisture across the desert and up the mounshytains As the warm moist air rose up the mountain slopes it cooled and condensed causing the overshycast and precipitation

Two hours later FSS said condishytions were improving We departed Runway 03 and followed 1-40 at 500 feet AGL Twelve miles west low clouds hung entirely across a ridge obscuring it and the terrain on the other side We could see clearly northward but not west where we were headed We turned around and returned to FLG There we joined three gentlemen for lunch They were also waiting out the weather en route to the 140 Convention After another hours wait we tried again This time we flew around the west ridge and within 20 miles skies beshycame scattered and then clear

Our concrete compass guided us past Williams and Seligman to a landing on Kingman airports Runshyway 21 which pOinted into a direct 20-knot wind We refueled and then decided to stop for the day Our acshycommodations at the Quality Inn were most interesting-Route 66 memorabilia everywhere and a late 50s decor coffee shop Many notashybles had stayed there-Jimmy Dean Robert Duvall George H Bush and others-attested to by numerous plaques on room doors We washed our clothes dined at a local steakshyhouse (steaks out here are really BIG) and retired early

This interesting array of mirrors with a cent ral tower is a solar power genershyating station located just west of Barstow-Daggett airfield in California

The Desert =Desolation Day six started with a sunrise deshy

parture We headed southwest along the highway flew past the Ford Moshytor Company Proving Grounds then west to Needles California At Needles we followed the road northshywest and then turned to the west once we cleared a mountain Then it was 150 miles of nothing but highshyway to Barstow-Daggett Since Albuquerque we had flown over rugged terrain-beautiful but very desolate and unfriendly for an offshyairport landing Thus we preferred following the highway-it has peoshyple near it and its the lowest terrain

Our preflight planning had shown a restricted area south of 1shy40 We of course flew north of the highway Motoring on Jim sudshydenly saw bright flashes followed

by white plumes falling to the ground Whoa These were munishytions exploding over the desert We never determined where they origishynated but it definitely got our attention Uh-huh Thats why its a restricted area

We refueled at Daggett and then departed west at 4500 feet past Edshywards Air Force Base and Lancaster Climbing to 7500 feet we cleared the Tehachapi Pass Descending west of the pass visibility was only 5 to 7 miles That was much less than the 50 to 100 miles wed experienced the past three days At Bakersfield we landed refueled ate lunch and then departed to the west-northwest at 1300 local Over the Imperial Valshyley visibility was 10 to 20 miles with a few scattered clouds above our

PE CLUB NOTES

TOWARD SAFER REFUELING As published in the 170 News

Many of us who utilize the autogas STC refuel our Cessna 170s with those

25- and 5-gallon plastic jugs that are so easy to use and that pass the test of being an appropriate and properly labeled container when we stop by our favorite gas station on the way to the airport While these jugs are obviously intended for transporting gasoline they have several characteristics that cause concern about fire safety

The one that causes the most concern is that the molded polyshyethylene plastic is an insulator preventing any buildup in static electrical charge from escaping rapidly through the container to the ground Remember the science experiment where you pull a plasshytic comb through your hair on a dry day and generate a spark of static electricity Similar stuff here

You probably have read recently in the general press that you should put gasoline cans or jugs on the ground when you are filling them rather than filling them on the tailshygate of your pickup or heaven forbid in the trunk of the family car The primary concern here is one of static electricity buildup due to the gasoline flowing into an inshysulated vessel that is further insulated by being held off the ground by the vehicle tires which are also insulators However even

10 FEBRUARY 2002

SCOTT BARLAND

setting the plastic jugs on the ground doesn t complete ly bleed off the static charge unless they reshymain there for a while because the insulating characteristics of the plastic jug slows the static charges dissipation to a slow trickle

The real concern comes when we take that jug up the ladder open the fuel cap and start pourshying the go-juice in If the plane has acquired a slight static charge from such things as the wind blowing over it there may be enough elecshytrical potential (difference in static charge) between it and the fuel in the jug to cause a spark

This was brought home to me in a rather dramatic fashion when a good friend and fellow Cessna 170 Association member called to relate what he thought might have been a close approach to disaster He had filled his plastic gas jugs at the stashytion driven to the airport removed the full jugs from his truck and set them on the floor of his hangar He then walked under the wing to reshytrieve his ladder and as he passed the trailing edge of the aileron he felt a fairly strong spark jump from the plane to the top of his head It was one of those cool and dry early spring days and his airp lane was not grounded If that spark had happened when he removed the fuel cap or when he started pouring from one of the jugs he could have

become the centerpiece in a fire deshypartment training film

I started thinking about static proofing this process and the obshyvious first step is to be sure that your plane is adequately grounded This is critical during the refueling operation and theres no good reashyson why it shouldnt be grounded all the time If your hangar is grounded electrically through your electrical service attach one end of the wire to the hangar steel and the other end through an alligator clip to any bare metal part of the airshyframe If your airplane is tied down on grassdirt anyone of your metal tie-down rods is a good ground Tied down on pavement Your tieshydown rings in the pavement should do nicely I used a piece of stranded 14 gauge copper house wire for this airframe ground cable one end firmly attached to my hangar framshying and the other clipped to my tailwheel steering as shown below

[Vintage Airplane Editors Note Be certain the airframe component you attach your grounding strap to is indeed electrically bonded to the rest of the airframe all the way to the fuel tank-youd be surprised how may light airplanes have electrically isolated components A simple check with the continuity test function on a multimeter can be used to confirm your ground location]

So what do we do about those pesky plastic jugs If we electrishycally connect the gasoline to the now-grounded airplane (before opening the fuel tank caps or the plastic jugs) then no static charge can exist And no spark can jump up and bite us Heres how I modishyfied my plastic jugs to allow me to do that (See the drawing below)

Cut the head off a 10-32 x 15shyinch machine screw and drill a No 48 hole down the center of the screw about 14-inch deep Cut a piece of 14 gauge solid copshyper house wire long enough to reach from the handle of the plasshytic jug to the bottom (inside) strip the insulation from its full length and solder one end of the wire into the drilled screw Thread on a common hex nut a flat washer and a rubber washer cut from an old inner tube Drill a 316-inch hole in the jug hanshydle just behind the filler opening [Vintage Airplane Editors Note If youre using an electric drill be cershytain no gasoline fumes are present-youd feel pretty foolish if you blew up the gas jug and yourself

while installing a grounding strap] To install the ground wire you

just made ho ld the wirescrew assembly with a long-nose pliers or a hemostat insert the assemshybly wire-end first through the filler opening and up through the 316-inch hole Spread a little gasoline-resistant sealant around the base of the protruding threads (I used some neoprene cement left over from a wet-suit repair kit) and then add another rubber washer flat washer and hex nut

You should now have about 1 inch of screw thread exposed to act as your ground lug The bare copper wire should be pushed pulled or bent as necessary to reach near the bottom of the conshytainer without blocking the filler neck Snug the top hex nut down and let the sealantcement cure before exposing it to gasoline I modified all five of my containers in less than two hours so it is not a big job The photo on the fol shylowing page shows one of my own anti-static fuel containers atshytached to its connecting wire alligator clip (thats next)

We have to be able to connect the fuel jugs ground lug to the airframe so make a connecting cable I used another piece of that 14 gauge stranded house wire about 10 feet long and attached medium-size alligator clips to each end Youll see how it is used in just a moment

To put this system to work put the jug down next to the gas pump and touch the nozzle to the ground lug before opening the filler the gas pump nozzle is itself grounded (Touch or ground ALL jugs you intend to fill before starting to fill ANY of them ) Fill and cap the jugs (pay the cashier of course) and take them to the airport placing them on the paveshyment in front of the plane Check that the plane is connected to its ground and attach one end of that lO-foot connecting cable to a bare metal part of the airframe

(an exhaust stack is convenient and works well)

After touching the free end of this wire to each jugs ground lug clip it to one carry the jug up the ladder and start the refushyeling It is most important that this connecting wire be attached

both to the plane and the fuel jug before taking the jug up near the fuel cap and it must remain attached throughout to make sure that any static electricity is bled off harmlessly before it builds up enough to cause a spark Bring the empty fuel jug

down off the ladder attach the clip to the next one and conshytinue

Remember also that gasoline fumes are heavier than air sinkshying to the floor and following any sloping surfaces downward Any open flame pilot light or source of electrical spark below downwind or down-slope from a fuel overflow or spill can comshypletely wipe out all your good work in eliminating the static electricity hazard It has been said that fire is a wonderful sershyvant but a horrible master You dont need to let a gasoline-fed fire prove it to you

This doesnt eliminate all fire hazards it just helps minimize ones we can do something about without too big an effort If nothshying else your insurance carrier should breathe a little easier and you can tell that smart mouth across the ramp to put away the marshmallows

Grounding Wire Alternative Vintage Airplane Editors Note Ive used a similar

set ofgrounding wires for a number of years built using 116-inch stranded stainless steel cable bought by the foot at the local hardware store The store even had a vinyl-covered version but I was too cheap to buy it I added clips from the local electrical supply house and my grounding cables looked just like the ones on the fuel trucks If you really hate those finger sticks that occur when your tender digit is impaled on a stray strand of cable slip a piece of heat-shrink tubing over the cable before inshystalling the clip After securing the clip slide the tubing over the cut end of the cable and then shrink it with heat Its much neater than a wrap of electrishycal tape which always seems to look messy and unwrap just before your fingers get close to those bloodthirsty cable ends

Because they are woven cables they coil nicely and can be stored in a heavy zippered plastic bag that is kept in the baggage compartment Then the next time the fueler at the FBO says their grounding strap is broke you can save the day at least for your airplane

WHAT OUR MEMBERS ARE RESTORING BY HG FRAUTSCHY

DH82A TIGER MOTH Nick and Elsa Steo of Mendon New York are the proud owners and restorers of this 1944 de Havilland Tiger Moth

Built at Hatfield Herts R-S063 served the RAF and then the Belgian air force as a primary trainer Next it belonged to the Brasschaat Aero Club in Belgium where it was used for banner and glider towing as well as general sightseeing flights After it had accumulated more than 4000 hours of flight time in its logs Gert Frank bought it and had it and a number of other Moths shipped to the United States In 1971 Nick Steo Sr bought the project and slowly began its restoration but he passed away before its completion His son Nick Jr and his sons wife Elsa then picked up the project and restarted the process using professional restorers Fifteen years after it began the project was completed thanks to the efforts of George Denys Its maiden flight in US airspace took place on August 24 2001

N3424E started its flying career as a 7 AC but the recent restoration of the 1947 model included an 8S-hp Contishynental engine and an understated custom color scheme PRE-WAR ERCOUPE 415C Last flown at Hyde Field in Clinton Maryland in 1969 A Grant Ross of Carson City Nevada bought his Lee Dowdys son John made the first post-restoration 1941 Ercoupe serial number 102 of 112 Ercoupes flight from Elk Rock Flying Field Monroe County West built prior to World War II as a basket case It had Virginia on November 4 2001 A Lee wishes to thank his not flown in more than 30 years Grant worked wife Adonna and their sons Perry Lee and John plus 8000 hours spread over nine years to restore the airshyall his friends who helped in some way to get the Champ plane and make it the most authentic Ercoupe back in the air after a 32-year hiatus possible Its based in Minden Nevada

ts a common story Someone finds an airplane abandoned in a barnfield hangar Its totally run-down with mice corroding the wings the engine frozen into a solid lump the fabric a c lose approximation of papyrus and everything in the airplane needing reshyplacement So the would-be restorer takes it apart trucks it home and starts the long process of disassembling tagging restoring and reshyassembling

But thats not the story of Wally Fisks Volunteer Seabee The above story where the restorer starts with an entire airplane and in the process of disassembling it figures out where everyshything goes is the exact opposite from what the Seabee crew started with They didnt start with a corshyroded hulk covered with bird droppings they started with mounds and mounds of boxes full of parts not a one of which was identified The Seabee although partially reshystored and painted was totally disassembled and repshyresented one of those jigsaw puzzles that come in a plain brown box with no picture to go by They thought they had all the parts but they werent sure where the parts went To make matters even worse some of the parts had been overhauled and some hadn t been but nothing told them which was which Like we said a jigsaw puzzle with no picture to go by and the nearest Seabee was many miles away

According to Duane Poehls one of the many volunteers

VINTAGE AIRPLANE 15

who banged away on the airplane Wally Fisk originally bought the airshyplane for two reasons First it was to be a volunteer project on display durshying its restoration at his Polar Aviation Museum in Blaine Minnesota Secshyond a Seabee started his interest in aviation so Wally has a nostalgic atshytachment to the type When the airplane was purchased in the mid 90s it was in Rockford Illinois And already disassembled and painted

Duane says It would have been easier if the airplane hadnt been painted because we had to be really careful [of] what we did or we ran the risk of damaging the paint

1 6 FEBRUARY 2002

During EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2001 Seabee pilot Larry Mullaly stands between fellow restorers Ray Kreps and Duane Poehls

When we got the airplane only a half a gallon of paint of each color came with it so besides not knowshying what went where we were constantly worried about dinging something

The Polar Aviation Museum closed its doors in 1999 but Fisk wanted the volunteers to keep hamshymering away on the airplane

When the museum closed the number of volunteers dropped but those who remained were really faithshyful to the project and it became as much of a social event as anything else We all became friends and enshyjoyed the interaction Duane says

When the airplane came to us according to Duane the wings and control surfaces were in crates The engine was disassembled and in boxes Another box held a bunch of actuators but we didnt know what they were for All the hyshydraulics parts were in another box Again not tagged We had a terrible time just figuring out which parts needed rebuilding

We had drawings for most of the airplane but there was no exploded view giving us the big picture Dushyane says We made many many trips up to Prior Lake to see Grant Leonards Seabee If it hadnt been for his airplane we would have never gotten ours together but we still had tons of questions Most Seabees have been modified in a lot of different arshyeas but ours was mostly stock So even though wed all take pictures of different parts of every Seabee we saw they often didnt help much beshy

The six-cylinder Franklin engine is coupled to a cooling Cloth interiors are not usually the best choice for seashyfan in front and a crankshaft extension on the rear which planes so the Seabee was neatly upholstered in vinyl drives the prop You can clearly see the Franklin s distribshy with a close-nap carpet used underfoot A basic VFR inshyutor and coil ignition system It s mounted on the left strument panel was re-instalied along with expertly side of the shaft extension case just aft of the baffle rendered lettering for each switch and placard The new The Franklin uses a mixed system with one magneto firshy lettering included a placard for one unusual switch-on ing one set of plugs and an automotive-style distributor the lower left corner of the panel theres an electrical for the other set

cause they didnt match The water rudder was a classic

case of not knowing what did what We had no way of knowing how it attached We e-mailed a lot of peoshyple We even made parts out of wood to try to figure out how it worked

The tail wheel steering was the same way As far as we could tell we had all the parts but because they had this kind of Rube Goldberg way of working we just couldnt figure it out If we hadnt had another airshyplane to look at we might still be trying to make it work

The seats had already been upholshystered but there were no side panels so they came up with upholstery that wo uld match and had Airtex make up the panels

The instruments that came with the airplane were a mixture of overshyhauled old really old and useless The problem however was finding the right ones to build up the disshytinctive Seabee instrument group in the middle of the panel Here they got really lucky Jim Harker found a number of complete Seabee instrushyment clusters and the panels in a warehouse and contributed one to the project So the airplane is eqUipped with 50-year-old stock gauges When they tested them everything but the frozen tachomeshyter passed muster

Duane says The landing gear

switch labeled Anchor Light

turned out to be a real problem beshycause most of it including the axles were badly corroded and had to be replaced or rebuilt Fortunately that was the only serious corrosion in the airframe because the airplane only had about 450 hours total time and had never seen sa ltwater

If they thought the landing gear was a problem then they must have thought gett ing the Franklin engine running was a borderline disaster because among other things some of the accessories were missing along with some of the internals On top of that many of the parts they did have couldnt be rebuilt and they had to buy a second engine just to get enough usable parts to get one running They had the basic engine overhau led by Bolduc Aviation in Minneapolis Then it was found that the exha ust system was really screwed up The exhaust studs were wrong and they had to have the rusted parts of the exhaust system that needed replacing custom made using a Continental system as a patshytern A full month was spent doing nothing more than removing and replacing the studs and getting the custom-made parts to fit It took three tries to get them right They knew little about the engine type when they started but they became near experts through trial and error Still they knew no matter what they

did they could expect some probshylems because one of their engine manuals had the notation that they should expect major repairs shortly after 600 hours

Once they got the engine probshylems solved the project really kicked into high gear According to Duane We could see the airplane was startshying to take shape so we put the pedal to the metal When we started workshying on the windows we realized they werent tagged either They were grommet mounted so they could be kicked out in [an] emergency but we didnt know which grommet went with which window It was just anshyother piece of the Seabee puzzle Towards the end we were calling people including those who had painted the airplane and tracking down information like what type of wing extensions were on it and who had the paperwork for them Just two weeks before Oshkosh I was up at Grants and finally noticed that the little white piece we had left over went on top of the battery box It was a frustrating process but we made it all work

The original crew who started the project while it was still at the Polar Aviation Museum included Jerry Fenton-an ex-B-36 flight enshygineer and Navy Seabee Dick Houck-control cables and carpet patterns

VINTAGE AIRPLANE 17

The designers of the Seabee made extensive use of corrugated metal to add stiffness to the wings tail and in this case the water rudder

Greg Jones-landing gear struts Ray Kreps-an ex-F-86 pilot did whatever was needed and was Mr Window Guy Larry Mullaly-research and pashyperwork Duane Poehls-wiring and parts coordinator Frank Sokolik- a little of everyshything and head parts cleaner Alden Bjorkland-Plexiglas polisher

When the volunteers came to the museum the universal attitude among them was We dont want to be tour guides We want to work on airplanes The Seabee fulfilled that desire When the museum closed Fenton Kreps Poehls and Sokolik stayed on the project and every Wednesday night became Seabee night for them

We wound up working 156 days on the project for a total of 1002 man hours as near as we can figshyure says Duane

In a long-standing Oshkosh tradishytion they didnt get the airplane finished and ready to fly until just a few days before EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2001 This is a pervasive story among restorers it makes you wonder whether airplanes would ever be finished if Oshkosh werent sitting out there imposing a time limit In the case of the Volunteer Seabee they managed to get four hours on the airplane before headshying over to the convention

Slence anll his Seabel By HG FRAUTSCHY

In the year before the United States entered World War II PH Spence Spencer lofted the lines

on what he would call the Spencer Amphibian Air Car Model S-12 By March I 1941 Spencer and his two employees (one part-time the other in the shop all day) cut the first parts for the two-place aerial boat Only 55 months after conshystruction began the Air Car first flew from the beach at Belmore Great South Bay on New Yorks Long Island

With flat plywood for the fuseshylage and conventional wood spars and ribs for the wings the Air Car was quite practical albeit a bit unshyusual in appearance Its pusher engine allowed for a handy door on the nose of the airplane A pilot or passenger could settle into the right-hand seat flip open the cabin hatchdoor on the nose and fish all day in comfort When the pilot was done the amphibian could be nosed up to the beach or floating dock It was a simple matshyter of opening the door and stepping out to secure the mashychine The rear-mounted prop was somewhat protected from the hulls water spray and Spence enshyjoyed the rest of the summer operating the Air Car from the Babylon Long Island seaplane base By the next spring Spences Air Car was in storage like so many of its brethren grounded since the attack on Pearl Harbor Spence was hard at work as a test pilot for Reshypublic Aircraft flying the P-43 and then the P-47 During 1943 he worked for the Mills Novelty Comshypany in Chicago lured by an offer from former Republic executive Nels Kelly Mills was interested in obtaining military contract work and as part of the deal to hire

Spence to help the company he would have access to its woodshymolding workshop during off hours By that time some restricshytions on civilian flying had been lifted and Spence flew the Air Car to Chicago where he made further changes to the airframe streamlinshying some of the early versions rather slab-sided looks He flew it regularly from Fox Lake northwest of Chicago where he tested the hulls hydrodynamic qualities

By the close of 43 Mills Novshyelty had not been very successful in getting more than one contract and Spence was ready when Nels Kelly called again Kelly had gone back to work for Republic and upon hearing that the company was interested in a civilian project for work after the war ended he made a pitch to senior manageshyment regarding the production of the Air Car Spencer was hired as a design consultant and Republic paid him $17000 for the rights to the design

Republic had plenty of experishyence in building airplanes out of sheet metal and if the postwar market was as hungry for airplanes as was forecast theyd need to proshyduce them at a pretty good clip possibly as many as 10 per day

After Republic built and flew the prototype (the RC-l) a review of the program showed that the cost to produce the airplane was going to be excessive and well in excess of the projected $3995 price for the Thunderbolt Amphibian as it was first named Alfred Marchev Republics preSident ordered a deshysign review which proved to be an illuminating exercise in production economy Changing the wing from a tapered to a straight planform saved tooling money and time in

production and extensive use of hydro-formed sections of alushyminum for all of the major components kept the number of pieces in the airframe down to a minimum As originally deshysigned the hull had 362 parts assembled with 6200 rivets It took 590 man-hours to build it After the design review the number of parts tumbled to 63 with only 2400 rivets needing to be driven in place taking only 20 man-hours The total number of parts in the airframe went from 1800 down to a more manageable 450 The wings new structure was also innovative using beading stamped into the wing panels surfaces to act as stiffshyeners for the structure instead of laborious wing rib installations Afshyter heated debate about the merits of such a structure it proof tested to be four times stronger in torshysional rigidity and held up to a proof load of 115 percent

The RC-1 Seabee as the design was now dubbed was ready to show to the postwar public by the winter of 1945 and when the proshyduction RC-3s started coming off the line at Republics Long Island factory it was believed they had about 4000 orders for the unique airplane But those orders were made when the price was $3995 and the book started shrinking as soon as the price started to increase Republic management had targeted a price that was far too low to meet even if it did create a lot of buzz in the marketplace When it became apparent there was no way that more than 4000 of the airplanes would actually be built and delivshyered the price had to go up to attempt to cover the cost of proshyduction put by some at nearly $17000 per unit

During the redesign the new airplane was also expanded to a four-place model with the landshying gear now simply rotated aft instead of into a pair of wells set

into the sides of the hull Elimishynating the wells added enough room to the interior to make a four-seater practical

Also needed was more horseshypower The Franklin engine first considered for the revamped deshysign developed 200 hp but more was needed and to help control costs Republic bought a controlshyling interest in Aircooled Motors Syracuse New York Aircooled had been building the Franklin series for a number of airframe makers and it managed to simshyplify the Franklin 500 engine and get a 12 hp boost in the process When finally put into producshytion that horsepower had grown to 215 ponies with the Franklin 6A8-215B9F as the standard inshystallation While the Koppers Aeromatic prop was standard equipment the metal Hartzell controllablereversible prop was a handy option

Unfortunately escalating prices coupled with a sharp decline in deshymand and a deepening postwar economic recession meant the production run of the Seabee was short-lived with only 1050 of the airplanes built before Republic shut down the line

Spencer moved to Florida where he dabbled in the construcshytion and real estate business Later after a move to California he returned to aviation and he

Douglas Rolfe

continued to develop his Air Car series as a homebuilt project until his death in 1995 at the age of 97

Spencers life was filled with a number of remarkable technical achievements no doubt a legacy of his father Christopher Minor Spencer CM Spencer invented the Spencer repeating rifle one of the Union Armys most effective weapons of the Civil War Longevity must run in the Spencer family as Spence was born long after the war when his father was 63 years old The elder Spencer lived long enough to see his son solo a Curtiss-type flying boat on the Connecticut River in the summer of 1914

The Seabees distinctive lines come from the genius of Percival H Spencer whose basic design for an amphibious airplane made out of steel tube and wood was bought by Republic and then modified and produced after World War II Spencer helped Republic design the airplane for all-metal construction on an assembly line but its unique art deco lines reshymained true to his original concept

opened it up to work on it there were no brushes in it We found one brush in Grants garage attic so Bolduc [Aviation] took the one brush down to the parts store and pawed through a bunch of brushes until they found a pair that matched When we investigated the dischargshying problem it turned out the generator was wired for normal roshytation The Franklin turns the other direction so we swapped a few wires and were on our way

With a cruise of 103 to lOS mph the Seabee isnt a rocket ship but with its pregnant pickle shape you wouldshynt expect it to be Fortunately says Duane we arent burning much oil and [are using] about 14 gallons of gas However the engine has a magshyneto and a batterydistributor which isnt shielded so theres lots of ignishytion noise in the radio

The airplane isnt really very good in a crosswind because of that huge tail he says Which is aggrashyvated on takeoff by the way it levitates up on the struts at such a slow speed I dont think it even has a demonstrated crosswind composhynent in the handbook

So now that the Seabee is finshyished and the volunteers have their Wednesday nights free what are they going to do with their time

Duane looks around at the rest of the volunteers and grins We started on a Strikemaster in November but we have a leg up on this project We not only have a full set of manuals but theres a completed one sitting in the same hangar By comparison this one will be easy

Easy Obviously after what this team of volunteers just went through easy is a relative term

PASS IT TO CK BY EE BUCK HILBERT EAA 21 VAA 5

Reading about the adventures and experiences of Dutch Redfield and now Bill Dunn sure triggers your exshycitement bones Theyre wonderful

Ive had a few adventures as well but I hesitate to relate them knowshying full well that some of them were pretty boneheaded and I was lucky to have survived to tell about them

Before I spill the beans about this incident heres a little background At 17 right out of high school I enshylisted in the Army Air Corps at the beginning of World War II I had finshyished a specialized course in aviation mechanics and enlisted to become an aviation cadet

I had been working at the local airport for a couple years had all kinds of sandbag and dual time and had soloed in the J-3 Portershyfield Aeronca Defender and the Duster Stearman C-3 I was pretty hot Ill tell you that

After the stint in pre-flight school I was assigned to Primary Flying School at Wickenburg Arizona I was introshyduced to PT-l7s PT-13Ds and PT-27s The -27 was a fully instrumented electrically equipped version

My instructor Mr Bingham soloed me in short order and I was free to practice what I was supposed to have learned Unlike most of the students who padded their time a little I would fly for an hour and log forty-five minutes I just loved to fly and I guess it showed

Toward the end of our six weeks at Echiverria Field 1 was one of about four or five cadets still flying off the required 65 hours According to the book I had about 60-1 still had more to fly I flew off the home field late in the afternoon one day and since all the checkrides were over and I was just having fun I decided to see how high a PT-17 would go

I left the pattern and began to

PO Box 424 UNION IL 60180

climb Finally after an eternity I got up to 13500 feet indicated In Janushyary I can tell you it was very cold up there I was freezing and now only wanted to get back to that warm Arizona desert air

I thought a while and then deshycided a spin would be the best and quickest way down After about six turns I pulled out and I was still above 10000 but it was a little warmer Okay what to do now How about a few rolls on a point So from about 15 miles away from the field I put the nose on a point and began doing rolls one after another maybe about 10 or so

Now that 220 Continental as some of you well know has a floatshytype carburetor and would always quit when inverted I had held inshyverted for a couple minutes during one of the rolls and when I rolled right side up the engine was just wind milling Never giving it a secshyond thought I just kept on rolling and rolling I finally got down to about 2000 or 3000 feet off the ground poked the power to it and NOTHING I pumped the throttle I checked the fuel selector I hit the primer it took a little but not enough to keep me in the air

By now I was about 1500 feet above the ground seven or eight miles away from base with no radio (we didnt have them in those days) and maybe four or five miles from the highway the only highway in the area Fortunately the desert in this area had sparse growth so 1 picked a passable piece of desert and landed No problem I might have scared a few horned toads or maybe a ratshytlesnake but I was on the ground and the airplane was all there Plus I was now nice and warm

Now begins the saga Here I am seven or eight miles from the field

four or five miles off the highway no one knows where I am and its getshyting to the point where the sun is setting Now the book says in a situashytion like this you stay with the airplane and wait for rescue But wait a minute I think I know whats the matter with this engine Ill bet the float is stuck It ran on the primer didnt it Well thats got to be it Find a rock bang on the carburetor bowl Bang it good this used to happen on the Duster Stearman Now lets try it Wind up the inertia starter and That was it It runs Its now almost dark so a quick run-up with a full power check and its off for home

When 1 land the proverbial stuff hits the fan The AO (airdrome offishycer) is upset as I am the last one to land and its dark Where n ell have you been Thinking I was a hero I explained and explained again in front of the eO and again in front of the accident investigashytion board and then again in front of the Cadet Evaluation Board

Somehow possibly because my instructor thought 1 might someday grow up they let me off with a repshyrimand A couple days later I was even allowed to finish up my 65 hours and graduate

The moral of the story is that this Hot Shot kid had his first enshycounter with military thinking and they didnt appreciate American inshygenuity one bit I still feel I did the right thing I didnt want to spend the night in the desert the airplane

Ive told you about this project someshytime in the past and after the dust settled over Sepshytember 11 I got to fly Gary Karners Aeroncopy It was great fun and it flies great with a Continental A-65 Gary used my C-3 to take measureshyments to make his

copy of a C-3 as a homebuilt airplane Ive been selling some of my toys to make a bit of room around here at the Funny Farm and my C-3 which Ive had since the 1960s was on the block Gary bought it so now he owns both As soon as the weather gets nice and we get it running it will move to the Brodhead Wisconsin airport Isnt Garys Aeroncopy cute

got fixed and got home in fine shape and Im here to tell about it almost 60 years later

Ive had several forced landings since that time and Ive lucked out every time It did teach me to always be aware of your options and always have a plan in mind in case the unshymentionable happens

Heres a recent note I received

Dear Mr Hilbert I would appreciate any informashy

tion you might have regarding any DH-4 aircraft that might be flying andor in a museum

I am 84 years old and grew up on a farm across the river from Peoria Illishynois over which DH-4 mail planes flew in the mid-1920s I was and am an aviation buff but not a pilot or builder In deference to my love of things flying my dad would milk the cows early and take me to the Peoria airport west of Peoria at Alta illinois

22 FEBRUARY 2002

to see the northbound mail planes come in There were three pilots Lindbergh Slonnegar and Smith I had the great privilege of seeing and talking to all three

The big thrill was in 1928 when Col Lindbergh flew over his old airshymail route in the Spirit of St Louis with Slooney and Smith in DH-4s in formation They were about SOO feet high and flew over me in a berry patch where I was working Lindshybergh looked out his side window at me Such a thrill

American Airways came in on that route in Ford Tri-Motors about that time and the DH-4s disapshypeared I havent seen one since

I certainly like your column in the Vintage Airplane publication With the publication and Poplar Grove Airport close by I am well served

Richard Pedrick Winnebago Illinois VAA033163

Richard Its a pleasure to hear from you

and I thank you for your kind reshymarks about Vintage Airplane

When I was a trustee for the Wings amp Wheels Museum in Florida now defunct we had an ex-Marine Corps DH-4 in almost-flying condishytion When the museum broke up it was auctioned off and went to Brazil I think

It was one that had been modishyfied to a steel tube fuselage and of course was not the mail plane model that was all wood It also had armament and was a single place with a cargo pit up front Not too authentic at that

Im sending you on loan of course the Smithsonian publicashytion on the DH-4 history In this book youll find all sorts of inforshymation on the original airplane and the many variants Enjoy the book and one of these days when you are finished with it either drop it off at my sons house over in Rockford (address included) or if you are out for a drive stop by here at the Funny Farm

Reading about your childhood in Peoria is very interesting I never got to actually meet Lindbergh but I was just a kid when he flew over Rockford on his nationwide tour and dropped the message conshytainer I was only 4 years old but I remember the crowd was going crazy yelling Lindy Lindy and jumping up and down with exciteshyment Quite a time Lindbergh sure made a name for himself in later years as a conservationist a medshyical research scientist and as a man to admire I visited his grave in Hawaii and thanked him for what he did for aviation

Looking forward to meeting you one day If you decide to visit the Railroad Museum we are just about a mile south Who knows I might even have an airplane flying and we could take a ride

Wally Baldwin of Middleshytown Ohio whose father spent many years at Aeronca during its aircraft production heyday sent us this photoshygraph Taken at Lunken airport (sometimes referred to as sunken LunkenJ in Cincinnati Ohio it shows the airfield the year before the devastating flood of January 1937 The new administration building in the center was added on to the smaller termishynal just to its left When the airport was flooded only the top floor of the new building and the instruments on top of the small white weather inshystrument box were visible

In the far upper left comer the low building along the road is the first Aeronca factory On the left side of the photo is the Metal Aircraft Company builders of the Ramingo series of all-metal airplanes The flood bankrupted the already fragile company and Aeronca bought the building Aeronca chose to move its operation to Middletown Ohio and the Metal Aircraft Company building was moved to Aeroncas new location after the floodwaters receded

On the main ramp is a Stinson Trimotor and an American Airways Douglas DC-3 complete with the entry door on the right side of the cabin The administration building still stands and it now has Dr Kindalls Aeronca C-3 hanging in the west wing

4500-foot altitude The valley other mesa sticks up a mile away was filled with quilt-patterned No problems just very different to vegetable fields crosshatched us flatlandersI We enjoyed tourshywith irrigation canals We saw ing Sedonas many tourist laborers tending some fields and boutiques which sell Indian artshyFlight planning with a wall chart is always fun other fields that had just been work and wares Then we drove and it s also neat to figure out just how far reclaimed adjacent to the low back up the mesa to view an abshyyour flight has taken you Walt and Jim use the hills west solutely stunning sunset followed time-honored string and scale method of disshy

by dinner and a restful sleep tance calculation to figure out how far theyCoast to Coast had flown with their Cessna 140s

Leaving the Imperial Valley we flew northwest above the Salinas Valley to west of Salinas Airshyport at the valleys north end jim leading since Bakersfield called Monterey Approach and requested and was granted a flyby over Monshyterey Bay then back across the peninsula Walt never having flown over the Pacific Coast was amazed at the oceans clear deep blue color After our aerial reconnaissance we landed on MRYs 28L at 1505 local taxied in and tied down at Del Monte Aviation As a destination Monterey was significant since it was a duty station during jims Navy career He acquired his commercial and instrument ratings while here

NC89676 and its crew had comshypleted the trek from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean flying 2930 statute miles in six days N2026V had traveled 2920 miles not quite from sea to sea (albeit W18 is beside the Patuxent River which empties into the Chesapeake Bay which empties into the Atlantic)

Our afternoon evening and folshylowing day were spent enjoying Monterey and its Sights dinner at a restaurant on the wharf rescuing a seagull gazing at deer grazing by the lighthouse and at sea otters in the Pacific visiting the aquarium and just touring the town and its shopshyping boutiques jim fed his ground squirrel buddies peanuts at Point Pinos-they likely were descendants of ones he had fed during his Navy tour Our final stop was a gift shop to purchase sea otter stuffed animals to display in our aircraft (an East Coast bunch tradition)

The Convention and Return Thursday afternoon we left MRY

at 1500 local with 676 leading We flew back down the Salinas Valley followed Route 101 southeast crossed over the pass at Las Cruces flew beside the mountains adjacent to the ocean and landed at Santa Barbara (SBA) for fuel We left SBA at 1745 loca l and headed southeast along the coast with Point Mugu Naval Air Station Approach proVidshying flight following into the Los Angeles basin The basin was hazy with an overcast 1000 feet above We landed at Chino (CNO) just afshyter dark taxied in and parked our two transcontinental Cessna 140s together at the base of the tower The next two days we enjoyed the International Cessna 120140 Assoshyciation Convention caught up with friends who had flown out at 30000 feet toured the several aviashytion museums at CNO changed 676s and 26Vs oil and relaxed before our return east

676 and 26V departed CNO toshygether on Sunday September 27 We flew north under an overcast then along Interstate 15 over Cajon Pass and back over the desert and its clear skies At Barstow we followed the now familiar 1-40 eastbound and stayed overnight in Kingman The next mornshying we left at a more leisurely 0915 local flew east to Flagstaff and then south to Sedona (SEZ) We stopped here on a whim (thanks Dorchen Foreshyman) Landing here was most interesting-you descend down a canyon to land at the airport on top of

On Tuesday we departed Seshydona at 0725 local refueled at Gallup and then flew back to

ABQ International Wednesday morning 26V departed ABQ for the AC Chapter 3 Fly-In at Darlington South Carolina arriving Friday morning Walt returned to Maryshyland on October 5 jim and Diane stayed in New Mexico visiting Taos and taking in the Balloon Festival on Saturday 676 departed ABQ on Sunday October 4 and returned to Cape May on October 10 having to follow a weather system across Oklashyhoma Arkansas Tennessee North Carolina Virginia and Maryland

jim and Diane received the Longest Distance Flown Award at the 1998 International Cessna 120140 Association Convention They said The longest distance award was nice but we are pleased with the fact that we did it we flew our Cessna 140s literally from sea to shining sea saw our beautiful counshytry met some very nice people and will remember this experience for the rest of our livesI Walt received the Longest Distance Flown Award at the 1998 EAA Antique and Classic Division (now Vintage Aircraft Assoshyciation) Chapter 3 Fly-ln

I couldnt have won

these swell trophies without

Poly-Fiber

Well OK maybe he didnt actually say that but we bet he would have if Poly-Fiber had

been around in the 305 His plane would have been lighter and stronger too and the chance of fire would have been greatly reduced because Poly-Fiber wont support combustion Not only that but Gilmores playful claw holes would have been easy to repair Sorry Roscoe
