As many of you know, I was out of flying for a few years. I am happy to report now that after hangar flying with many of the members and doing aerobatics in the front seat with Pete Rayner in his Christen Eagle and shooting approaches in the right seat with AJ Brickler in his Cirrus, I am back in the left seat again. 2008 was another great year for EAA Chapter 445. Under President Danny Deason's leadership and a lot of hard work from all the members, we had another successful Airfest and flew more Young Eagles than ever before(438). The board of directors are planning even more activities this year and we are looking for your input. Please let us know if you have any ideas for fly outs, activities or projects you would like to see us persue. Happy New Year! Hope to see you at the airport. John Picture of the Month - Farewell Pizza Hut!
Roger and Ed wave from atop the Old terminal (Pizza
Hut) . It was torn down last month. We will have to find them
another place to conduct ground ops for Airfest
2009. From The Tower
Tallahassee Air Traffic Tower and TRACON look forward to a
busy year in 2009, not necessarily with more air traffic but with the
training of new employees. GA traffic counts are down at most airports and
about thirty (30) percent at Tallahassee Regional Airport. By the
middle of the year there will be as many as fifteen (15) developmental
controllers working in the Tower and TRACON. The new employees come from
various backgrounds that include retired military controllers, college
graduates that have completed the FAA CTI program and employees that meet
specific technical requirements. I am sure most of you who fly have
noticed the new voices on the ATC frequencies and their sometimes slowness
to respond to your Safe Flying,
I learned from that
The airplanes closed at a combined airspeed of 1,000 miles an hour. At that velocity, a distant airplane—a speck on the horizon—will fill the windshield in a matter of seconds. The following Vanity Fair magazine acticle was sent in by Colin Rolf. " In September 2006 a crash occurred at 37,000 feet over Brazil... My nephew flies a GIII for Excelaire in N.Y., and one of the aircraft involved was a new Legacy 600 being ferried back to N.Y. for Excelaire by two other Excelaire pilots, so it was of particular interest to me. Some months later there was a report which pretty much exonerated the Excelaire pilots, but now an extensive article in Vanity Fair magazine sheds some new light on the crash. Inasmuch as I forwarded the previous report, I thought you might be interested in this latest one.... embedded in the article is also a link to hear portions of the cockpit voice recordings from both aircraft, but (being on dialup speed) I haven't yet had a chance to listen to them...." Colin More info on the crash.
