President?s Corner:

Hi All. As most of you now know, EAA Chapter 1300 ?co-sponsored? Discover Aviation this past weekend. (Primarily because we could get insurance coverage for the event through EAA National cheaper than it could be obtained from the previous DA insurer.) Vicki and Doris did their usual great job of orchestrating the involvement of the various participants. The ?terminal? was full of displays like Civil Air Patrol, EAA Young Eagles, FAA, etc. and the ramp had many great aircraft on display. Ron Kodimer and Bob Mearns even brought their Stearmans down from VGT. We had many homebuilts on display as well. At least three were projects in work that gave the spectators a ?rough? idea of the relative simplicity in making an airplane. Loren Frogge?s Sonerai was in ?skeleton? tube, fabric, & sheet aluminum form, and Bob Doughty?s RV-8A, and Herman Leong?s Glastar were in the unpainted, test flight stage. Dean Herrington brought his ?folding wing? model of the Glastar down and displayed it with one wing folded back and sitting next to Herman?s for a ?contrast? comparison. Lt Col Jim Grahn?s beautifully pained Thorpe T-18 was on hand as were Roy Engelke?s pretty Zenith Zodiac and Matt Cooper?s ?Rainbow? Extra 300. Matt also made his debut in the aerobatic airshow arena with a great performance. Congratulations Matt! Glenn Kruggel didn?t get his RV-4 out as anticipated, nor did Bill Lawbaugh get his Steen Skybolt there. But Bill and Maria Elena did make it out to give support. Prior commitments are the culprits we hope.

The Young Eagle pilots: Dewey Peterson, Armin Tuma, Ken Wyatt, Dick McEwen, Glenn Carlson, Roy Campbell, Chet Kruleski, C.A. Smith, Glenn Smith, George Younghans, Mike Smith, Jim Bonelli, and Matt Cooper, flew approximately 80 kids during the weekend. We had some great ground support from Charlie Braun?s Air Explorer Scouts on Saturday and several member volunteers, including Stan Roeske, Tom Cooper, Brian Prinzavalli, Mike Preger, and others I?m sure I didn?t get a chance to see. Jan Bonelli, Phyllis Wyatt, Gail Smith, Renie Younghans, Mavis Rangan, and Jean Carter did another super job of registering, weighing and assigning kids to planes. You can see we had a lot of member participation in this event. If I didn?t list your name, it was purely my ?senior moment memory? with no slight intended. Beat me over the head with a newspaper at our next meeting, and you can bet I won?t do it again.

On to upcoming events. The first annual Boulder City Airport Day will be next Saturday, November 6^th. We will be flying Young Eagles again, and can again use the great support we had at Jean. The ?program? starts at 0800. Our YE pilots briefing will need to be at 0745, so get there by 0730 to tie-down, help set up, and get a cup of coffee. Anyone who wants to do formation flying needs to sit in on a formation briefing at 0815. Finally, the ?Airshow & Showcase Parade? flight briefing will be at 0930. I have enclosed a schedule below. Mike Hope will be our Ramp coordinator all day and Air Boss during the aerobatics. Mark DuLaney will be the formation flight coordinator and operations officer. Craig Fordem is the overall coordinator and will be one of the Aerobatic performers. We also hope to see Richard Brand and Matt Cooper perform again.

Remember to mark your calendar to attend the Nellis AFB ?Open House? on Sat. and Sun., Nov 13-14. I am coordinating an EAA homebuilt display area with Lt Jim Grahn again and would like to have a few relievers to man the EAA info table, like we had last year. If you can stand-in for a couple of hours, please let me know. If you have misplaced my number, it is 565-4010, e-mail is mwsmith2@cox.net.

See you on Saturday, Nov. 6^th or at our next meeting on the 10^th in Glenn Smith?s hangar (Taxiway 1, #16) at Boulder City. Come join those of us who will be gathering for dinner at the Boulder Creek Golf Club (next to the airport) at 1800.

Fly Safe,

Mike Smith, 2004 President
