Presidents Corner July 2005:

 

I just returned from, for me, one of the best EAA AirVentures that I have ever attended. 

Last year I missed the fly-in because of a slight medical problem so I was most eager to see what

Oshkosh had to offer this year.  And to say the least I was not disappointed.  How often does one

get the opportunity to see such a diversity of aircraft in one place?

There they were three B-17’s, a B-24, Mustangs galore, T-6’s in what appeared almost to be an endless formation,

the P-38, Glacier Girl now fully restored after being entombed for years under the force of the crushing ice of Iceland,

the Global Flyer and last and certainly not least Space Ship One and White Knight. 

The Air Show which commemorated the 60th anniversary of the end of WWII was all the more spectacular not only

because of the presence of all these great aircraft, but the honor to the memory of the men who fought in them.

 

The Forums were equally exciting with Mike Melvill recounting his experience in the development and testing of Space Ship One,

which culminated in the successful flights, which brought Scaled Composites the X Prize and Melvill, Rutan and company,

the Collier Trophy.  Rod Machado was not only his usual entertaining self, but very informative on some of the finer points of flying. 

Then there were the variety of work shops which helped to clear away some of the doubts and mysteries one imagines before

seeing the real thing encountered in any new project.  All in all this AirVenture recharged my enthusiasm for the activity we all share. Now for next year’s Oshkosh I only need to remind myself to make early housing reservations.

 

For those of you who wish to get together before the meeting for dinner we are going to gather at 6:00pm at the Town Center II

located at Cheyenne and Simmons on the North side of Cheyenne (from the airport head North on Rancho and turn right onto Cheyenne). I think this will hopefully be a definite improvement over our other location both as to servers and food. 

Our next meeting at North Town will feature Mike Perger on Basic Aircraft Electrical Systems.  

This will be the third major presentation this year.  I hope that you will email me your feedback on the various programs

to date as well as any future programs you may wish the Chapter to arrange.

 

Regards and safe flying,

 

David Lerner, President 2005
