EAA445's Official Electronic Newsletter Capital City Air-Fest 2004 May 15th and 16th | |
 From The Left Seat -
John Sivyer
Planning for the Capital City Airfest has
gotten off to a good start. 17 people showed up at our first
meeting to see how they could help with the event. Amazingly this
was more than twice the number of members who regularly attended our
monthly meetings just two years ago.
Several more people have sent e-mails asking how they
could help. We have developed a form on the website for those
wishing to contribute http://www.s88555310.onlinehome.us:80/tinc?key=SeqWo0oh&formname=Airfest
Please take a couple of mins to fill out the form, even if you have
already volunteered. We will need all the help we can
get. If this event is successful it could be a big help in
starting an airplane building project. Isn't that what EAAers are supposed
to do? .....Stay Tuned!

E-Mails Hello John;
just a note - your reference to the insurance problem
brought back memories of when we started at Quincy. The City attorney
wanted to close the field and make an industrial park of it so he kept
jacking up the insurance requirements and anything else he could do to
mess us up. We had to go to a three-day event to pay the premium on
the 5 million ins. he wanted - then he demanded a copy of the
original EAA HQ insurance document instead of the rider outlining
coverage, which EAA refused, of course. We had to shut down the fly-in
that year, causing an outcry from all the schools & churches that came
out at no cost to them & sold food and stuff. so the next year they
let us back.
Interesting side note - in 1974 we had over 350 aircraft
attending, including a P-40, PT-19, PT-22, PT-17, T-6, many "spam cans"
and homebuilts from as far as South Carolina. That was the year that a
fellow and his wife from Lakeland Florida flew up in a Pacer to see how we
did it. It was Billy & Adair Henderson, and the next year they started
Sun-n Fun. last year, this had a 35 million dollar impact on the Lakeland
economy, and we were way ahead of them until the city attorney crippled
us. Quincy could have been Oshkosh South, and was well on the way for a
couple of years. One greedy individual sure shot the City of Quincy right
in the butt on that deal, but all he was interested in was the fees he
would get from setting up the industrial park with a couple of his
buddies.
Maybe I'll get up there yet - sure hoping to do that at
least one more time.
