TOM POBEREZNY / PAGE 1 TOM POBEREZNY, THE retired president and chairman of the Experimental Aircraft Association, is

being mourned by EAA and aviation communities after his death early Monday, July 25, at age 75, following a brief illness. Tom was EAA president from 1989 until 2010, and also served as chairman of the board for two years until his retirement in 2011.

“It is not lost on us that Tom’s passing occurred on the opening day of EAA AirVenture Oshkosh, the event he led into world prominence as its chairman beginning in the 1970s,” said Jack J. Pelton, EAA CEO and chairman of the board. “Tom’s legacy is tremendous in the world of aviation with his personal achievements as well as the growth of EAA, especially the development of the current EAA Aviation Center in Oshkosh, the Young Eagles program, and the creation of the sport pilot category nearly 20 years ago. He will be greatly missed, but more importantly, he will be remembered for all that he did for EAA and aviation. Our deep condolences and prayers go to Tom’s wife, Sharon, and his daughter, Lesley, and the rest of the Poberezny family.”

An accomplished aviator in his own right, Tom was a member of the U.S. National Unlimited Aerobatic Team that captured the World Aerobatic Championships in 1972. The following year, he won the U.S. National Unlimited Aerobatic Championship. He subsequently flew for 25 years as one wing of the legendary Eagles Aerobatic Team (originally the Red Devils), the most successful civilian precision flying team in history.

During his career with EAA, Tom oversaw a number of the organization’s milestone events. In the late 1970s he spearheaded EAA’s first major capital campaign, which supported construction of the current EAA Aviation Center headquarters and museum complex at Wittman Regional Airport in Oshkosh, Wisconsin.

In 1992, he led the creation of EAA’s Young Eagles, which has become the most successful aviation youth program in history. Realizing the importance of mentoring to the future of aviation, EAA aimed to give 1 million kids between the ages of 8 and 17 an airplane flight by the centennial of powered flight on December 17, 2003. The 1 millionth Young Eagle was flown in October 2003, celebrating the efforts of 85,000 EAA volunteers to reach the goal. The Young Eagles program has now flown nearly 2.3 million young people.

In 2002-2003, Tom led EAA’s Countdown to Kitty Hawk program, which commissioned the construction of the first completely authentic reproduction of the 1903 Wright Flyer — the airplane that gave birth to powered flight. The airplane successfully flew at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, in late 2003 and was present on those hallowed grounds on December 17, 2003 — 100 years to the minute from the Wrights’ first flight.

Memorial services are still being determined at this time. EAA is also planning a memorial and tribute to Poberezny during AirVenture 2022. More information will be announced as it is finalized.

THE LITTLE AUSTER The fifth-place winner in EAA’s Pilot Your Own Adventure Contest, supported by Flight Outfitters JUSTIN SPENCE

EACH DAY THIS week, we’re running one of the winners of EAA’s Pilot Your Own

Adventure Contest, supported by Flight Outfitters. This entry placed fifth, out of nearly 200 entries received. While all stories have been edited for grammar and style prior to publication, they were judged as submitted, with no editing of any kind. — Ed. It all started back in 1947 when off the Auster of England assembly line rolled a shining new Auster J2 Arrow. An aircraft very similar to the Taylorcraft BC-12. It wasn’t known at the time, but this little 65-hp airplane would travel the world and become a family member. In the ’50s, the little J2 was flown from England to Rhodesia in Africa (now Zimbabwe). At some point, the airplane was crashed, and I’m sure to all involved they considered this to be the end of this airplane’s story, but oh how wrong they were.

Along comes Vincent Aloysious Spence, known as “Mike” (long story), or to me “Pa” (grandfather). He buys this little airplane that was broken and bruised, and sets out to rebuild it with his longtime friend, whom I only ever knew as “Uncle Jerry.”

Mike and Jerry get the little J2 back up and flying, but even in the late ’50s the Auster is plagued by the biggest problem of all in aviation — paperwork! At the time, the airplane needed a certificate of airworthiness from the Rhodesian authorities. Mike and Jerry got tired of waiting, and on Jerry’s farm they decided it was time to fly.

Into the wild blue yonder the Auster returned, and they flew it for several weeks.

Shortly after, along came the authorities to do the inspection. It turns out the gentle man who does the inspection likes to fish, and one of his best fishing spots happens to be the little lake just outside, you guessed it, Jerry’s farm! After a bit of convincing and apologies, the Auster was graced with paperwork again.

March 24 final flight I had in the Auster in South Africa: three generations, one airplane.

AUSTER / PAGE 4 In 1962 a boy was born, Vincent Anthony Spence, known as “Ant,” or to me “Dad.” Shortly into my father’s life the family moved to South Africa, and the sad day came for my grandfather to sell the Auster. In 1964 the Auster left the Spence family, and so the two parted ways.

In 1968 my grandfather was full steam ahead in love with aviation, as we all would become. He wanted more and had heard of this little organization in the United States called the Experimental Aircraft Association. So, he set off to find 10 of his friends and thus was born the first international EAA chapter, Chapter 322 in South Africa. In later years my grandfather was awarded a lifetime membership by Paul Poberezny, and it was presented to him by Tom Poberezny. My grandfather and father went on to be part of starting, I believe, six chapters in South Africa.

Along rolls 1978, and there is my grandfather sitting in a chair reading some farm trader magazine, probably looking at tractors he didn’t need to buy. There it is, a small little ad, “1947 Auster J2 for sale, damaged in accident,” and without a second thought my grandfather is on the phone buying his Auster back. In the truck he and the not so little boy, my dad, go to get the Auster back. For the second time my grandfather and dad this time rebuild the little Auster. This time to stay as ZS-VMV. Even then I don’t think it was realized how much of a family member the Auster would become. It flew around South Africa for years. My aunt did her initial training in it.

And it became a staple at all the fly-ins, simply known as “Mike Auster.”

In 1989 another Spence boy was born, Matthew (my brother), shortly followed by his better (sorry, Matt), younger brother Justin (me) in 1992. Neither of us were ever forced into aviation, but neither of us ever needed an option. It was in our blood at the time, the Auster was just part of the hangar, and we knew no different. Almost every Saturday was spent at the airport, running around terrorizing all around and, of course, flying in the little Auster. I believe both of us probably had several hundred hours in the Auster before we could even reach the pedals.

After its second rebuild in South Africa.

TUESDAY, JULY 26, 2022 We all grew up with that airplane, three generations, all pilots, all licensed mechanics, all part of one airplane, but the story doesn’t end there. In 2010, the Auster was in need of a new re-cover, and like most, it took longer than expected. On Saturday, March 24, 2012, the Auster flew again. I remember the date exactly because on March 28 I immigrated to the United States, and for the first time in my life I would be at an airport without the Auster.

A few years later my brother moved to the United States, followed by my dad.

The year is 2016, and we all didn’t miss a beat in aviation. My father operating a Citation X, my brother crop spraying in Florida, and I with an aircraft maintenance company that was named after the one started by my father and grandfather in South Africa. With all new airplanes and projects going on, there was something missing, though. It was time for the Auster to come over to America. I went back to South Africa, and for the first time in years got to see the Auster again. It truly was like seeing family. I disassembled it, and into a container it went.

Several months later it arrived in Memphis, Tennessee, and was welcomed to America. Now it sports the N-number registration of N322MV as a tribute to my grandfather and its past.

Pa passed away in 2019, and every time I fly the Auster it’s like getting to visit him again.

The Auster is part of the Spence family and will forever be. We fly it as often as we can and often take people flying in it to continue growing aviation as my grandfather did. The fourth generation is here with my nephew. One day I believe another story like this will be written where my brother or I are the grandfather.

30 Years!

THE EAA YOUNG Eagles program, the largest youth aviation program ever created, is celebrating its 30th anniver-

sary during EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2022, the event where the program began in 1992.

The AirVenture activities include flights, forums, and recognition throughout the week, which will kick off a full year of 30th anniversary commemorations. Special focus on Young Eagles will take place on Thursday, July 28.

“Over the past three decades, more than 50,000 volunteer EAA-member pilots have flown nearly 2.3 million young people, with thousands of those Young Eagles inspired to pursue their own aviation dreams and careers,” said David Leiting, EAA’s Young Eagles program manager. “At Oshkosh this year, we want to recognize those volunteers, build on the program’s successes, encourage new pilots to get involved, and celebrate the lives that have been influenced by the Young Eagles program.”

Among the activities scheduled for July 28: • Young Eagles flights in the Ford Tri-Motor and Bell 47 helicopter with young people chosen through local EAA chapters.

• A 1:30 p.m. group photo on Boeing Plaza that day, open to all previous Young Eagles, Young Eagles pilots, and volunteers.

• A ceremonial 30th anniversary Young Eagles flight prior to the afternoon air show, recognizing the impact of the program on the aviation community.

• An evening program at EAA’s Theater in the Woods, featuring noteworthy Young Eagles, scholarship recipients, and other special guests.

Throughout the week, the goal is to fly at least 30 Young Eagles during AirVenture. Additional flights will take place in EAA’s powered parachute in the Fun Fly Zone. An expanded Young Eagles presence on the grounds all week will include a pavilion adjacent to the Learn to Fly Center and prop cards available for any airplane at Oshkosh that has been used to fly Young Eagles. Additional activities will be announced as they are confirmed.

After the Young Eagles program’s introduction at a Washington, D.C., news conference in May 1992, the first flights took place on July 31, 1992, during that year’s EAA flyin convention. The initial flights were piloted by EAA President Tom Poberezny and Young Eagles’ first chairman, pilot and Academy Award-winning actor Cliff Robertson. To learn more about the Young Eagles program, visit EAA.org/YoungEagles.

The Young Eagles program was launched under Tom Poberezny’s leadership, so, even as we collectively mourn his loss, we take solace in celebrating one of his greatest legacies. — Ed. Pilot, EAA member, and former Young Eagles chair Harrison Ford inspires kids through aviation.

New Dick VanGrunsven Homebuilt Camping Pavilion Unveiled

BY ERIN HENZE

AIRVENTURE TODAY STAFF

ON SUNDAY, JULY 24, the Homebuilt Camping Pavilion was officially

renamed the Dick VanGrunsven Homebuilt Camping Pavilion in honor of Dick VanGrunsven, EAA Lifetime 3204, and the 50th anniversary of his company, Van’s Aircraft. This unveiling was a surprise to Dick, who has been a member of EAA since 1964.

Dick founded Van’s Aircraft in 1972, from which he sold plans for his newly designed RV-3, a “total performance” single-seat airplane.

Fifty years later, over 11,000 kits of Dick’s nine RV models have been completed, many of which can be found around the AirVenture grounds today. The most recent production model, the RV-14, was introduced at AirVenture in 2012, and as of June 2022, just under 200 RV-14s have been completed. The high-wing prototype RV-15 was announced last year during AirVenture.

“Dick VanGrunsven and Van’s Aircraft have been helping people realize the dream of building and flying their own aircraft for 50 years,” said Jack Pelton, EAA CEO and chairman of the board. “It’s only fitting that we recognize that remarkable legacy by naming the Homebuilt Camping Pavilion after Dick, and we’re proud to do it.”

Come check out the newly named pavilion, centrally located in the heart of homebuilt camping.

OSHKOSH MOMENTS

Oh, the Places You Will Go … in STEM! SARAH BENISH,

TWITTER @SARAHEBENISH

MY FIRST YOUNG Eagles flight in 2002 was more than just an airplane ride

(well, technically, it was in a hot air balloon). While I grew up in Oshkosh, I did not come from a family of pilots, so everything from helping with the preflight inspection to actual in-air flight was new to me. My first Young Eagles flight (and second and third) was just the beginning of my lifelong interest in aviation that sparked my pursuit of a STEM career.

Young Eagles introduced me to Women SOAR (now GirlVenture), a program to engage and inspire high school girls interested in aviation during EAA AirVenture Oshkosh. Throughout the week, I met amazing women mentors in a spectrum of STEM-related fields, received handson instruction building wood wing ribs to rockets, and participated in group team-building exercises. I had not met any women pilots before, let alone girls my age who were interested in aviation, and I felt like I truly belonged, even though I was not a pilot. One of my favorite memories was listening to stories told by the Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASP), the first women federal civilian pilots during World War II. Sarah Benish, then 12, is in the front of the cockpit for an EAA Young Eagles flight in 2005.

Aerobatic pilot Kirby Chambliss congratulates Sarah Benish for receiving the GoPro/EAA “Go Fly” Flight Training Scholarship during EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2014.

The Young Eagles program also made me eligible for flight training scholarships, which I was awarded toward the end of college. Upon graduating and earning my private pilot certificate, I entered graduate school in atmospheric chemistry to study air pollution in the Washington, D.C./ Baltimore area. I was drawn to this program because I would help measure air pollution onboard a twin-engine Cessna 402B, equipped with a suite of meteorological and trace gas instruments installed on tall racks where the seats used to be. Even as a first-year graduate student, I soon began helping with flight planning since I knew what weather we could fly in, how to calculate weight and balance when we added or moved instruments around, and could translate local flight restrictions (pertinent in D.C.’s SFRA and FRZ).

Twenty years after my first flight, I can see how the Young Eagles program opened doors for me both personally and professionally in STEM. Making friends during Women SOAR who were also interested in aviation, combined with regular mentoring sessions from women who believed in me, helped cement that I belonged in STEM. Research has shown girls lose interest in STEM fields in middle and high school due to conformity to societal expectations and lack of female role models, and I was fortunate that Women SOAR fought these problems head on.

“TWENTY YEARS AFTER MY FIRST FLIGHT, I CAN SEE HOW THE YOUNG EAGLES PROGRAM OPENED DOORS FOR ME BOTH PERSONALLY AND PROFESSIONALLY IN STEM. MAKING FRIENDS DURING WOMEN SOAR WHO WERE ALSO INTERESTED IN AVIATION, COMBINED WITH REGULAR MENTORING SESSIONS FROM WOMEN WHO BELIEVED IN ME, HELPED CEMENT THAT I BELONGED IN STEM.” PHOTO COURTESY OF SARAH BENISH

SARAH BENISH

TUESDAY, JULY 26, 2022 In addition, my flight training, made possible by my first Young Eagle’s flight, helped me become a better scientist because my practical knowledge of physics and meteorology informed my understanding of atmospheric dynamics and air pollution transport. Now a physical scientist at the Environmental Protection Agency, my work supports the development of air pollution control strategies and regulations to reduce air emissions from the power and energy production sector.

The Young Eagles program is turning 30 this year, and volunteer pilots have given more than 2.2 million flights over that time. This program has been a huge success due to an incredible community of pilots and volunteers working to inspire kids like me to pursue aviation. Thank you — your dedication and commitment to the next generation of aviation has made a difference!

Friend Carrie Biesinger, right, was Sarah Benish’s first passenger after she earned her private pilot certificate.

FLAG CEREMONY HONORS ALL MILITARY BRANCHES

BY BARBARA A. SCHMITZ

AIRVENTURE TODAY STAFF

NINE CIVIL AIR Patrol cadets in uniform marched in precision to raise

flags Saturday at a special ceremony near Warbird Alley that honored all six branches of the military.

This is about the fifth year the flag-raising ceremony has been conducted, according to Warbirds Chair Bill Fischer.

The group posted colors for all branches of the military — Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force, Space Force, and the Coast Guard — and then posted the American flag in the center, with the POW flag beneath. Each flag was raised against blue skies as the military branch’s official song was played amidst the whir of engines taxiing nearby.

Maj. Brent Snyder said EAA officials asked CAP to post the flags, and all cadets doing the detail had attended EAA AirVenture Oshkosh in the past and some had taken part in the flag ceremony as well. The majority of the nine were assigned to the Alpha unit, while the remaining were from the executive staff and public information office.

Cadet Cmdr. Dylan German, of Houston, Texas, said the Alpha unit has the flexibility to do special assignments on the AirVenture grounds, and can be ready to deploy within five minutes.

The group practiced Friday and early Saturday before the official ceremony, but after years in the CAP doing drilling ceremonies, they weren’t nervous and were confident in their skills, German said.

The flags will stay up throughout the remainder of AirVenture.

AIRVENTURE CUP RACE BRINGS PRE-SHOW EXCITEMENT

BY ERIN HENZE

AIRVENTURE TODAY STAFF

FOR THE PAST 24 years, the AirVenture Cup Race has pro-

vided an opportunity for pilots to compete on their way to AirVenture. Modeled after the Bendix Trophy Races of the 1930s, this cross-country flying race is what many consider the start of AirVenture.

“It’s a unique experience in that, other than being an air show performer, it’s the only way to participate by actually flying your airplane,” said Eric Whyte, EAA Lifetime 357260, chairman and co-founder of the AirVenture Cup Race. Most people, when you fly into Oshkosh, you fly in and park, so the race allows you to do something as a pilot and have a lot of fun.”

This year the race started and ended at the Wausau Downtown Airport (KAUW) in Wisconsin, but that hasn’t always been the case.

“In 1998 … it started off as uniting Kitty Hawk with Oshkosh,” Eric said. Working at EAA at the time, Eric and some co-workers had a pitch for then-president Tom Poberezny. “Why not do a race between Kitty Hawk and Oshkosh, and unite the two cities as part of this celebration of the 100th anniversary of flight? The original plan was to go until 2003, but it was popular with the participants, so it just kept going.”

Though the locations have changed throughout the years, the fun has not.

“We moved it to Dayton and then to South Dakota and then to Illinois,” Eric said. “We have been using Wausau as the finish line for a number of years. … The airport manager and the EAA chapter asked us if we would ever consider hosting the starting line there, and the finish line, just to try it. We did it last year … and the participants loved it. It was a lot of fun.”

This year, the annual event started at 9 a.m. in Wausau, with 71 airplanes joining in the race. Times ranged from one hour and 27 minutes to over four hours, but, despite being a race, speed wasn’t always the goal.

“We have a huge variety of airplanes, from jets to Piper Cubs,” Eric said. “The jets obviously are really fast, but the slower airplanes take all day. I’ve always said, ‘It’s not how fast you go, it’s how much fun you have along the way.’”

Race participants and information on the AirVenture Cup Race can be found in the racing section off Boeing Plaza. With next year being the 25th anniversary of the race, Eric is proud to bring AirVenture to those around the U.S. “One of the things about the event is, it allows some local volunteers, especially when we were in Kitty Hawk or South Dakota, there was a way to participate in AirVenture without being in Oshkosh,” Eric said. “It’s a grassroots traveling road show, if you will. Take a little piece of AirVenture out to share it with people.”

For the results of the 2022 AirVenture Cup Race, see the Wednesday, July 27, issue of AirVenture Today.

OSHKOSH MOMENTS

Bringing Team USA Airbus A330 to Oshkosh DELTA AIR LINES arrived at Wittman Regional Airport on Monday, July 25, with an airplane that

will be easy to spot, and not just because it is an Airbus A330. The airliner is one of those used in 2021 to deliver the U.S. Olympic Team to Tokyo, and is dressed in Team USA colors.

The aircraft cockpit crew also has a unique background.

Capt. Karen Ruth started flight lessons at age 15, before she started driving. She is a University of North Dakota graduate and began flying for the airlines at age 23 with Republic Airlines. For Delta, Ruth is now a lead line check pilot instructor for the Airbus 330 and has been involved in numerous activities as a Delta Propel Pathway Liaison, Women in Aviation International conference speaker, Pilots for Kids volunteer, and a Delta Ambassador. She is the only pilot at the combined airlines of Northwest and Delta to be awarded the highest recognition awards at each airline.

First Officer Sheila Baldwin is a Wisconsin native, originally from the small town of Prentice in northern Wisconsin. She comes from an aviation family and flew her first aerobatic competition at age 14, with a safety pilot in the cockpit with her because she was underage.

After graduating from the University of North Carolina, Baldwin joined the U.S. Air Force and flew F-15E Strike Eagles and MQ-9s on active duty and C-17s in the Air Force Reserve. She is a veteran of Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom. She is currently also a pilot instructor on the Airbus A330.

The Delta Team USA aircraft arrived on Monday morning, July 25, and will be open for limited tours in support of Delta’s presence at AirVenture. The aircraft will also participate in the Tuesday, July 26, afternoon air show.

Paula Crevier Named Winner of Dorothy Hilbert Award 31 years of Miss Hollywood

BY ERIN HENZE

AIRVENTURE TODAY STAFF

PAULA CREVIER, EAA 477989, has been coming to EAA for

years. She, along with her husband, Lee, EAA 355459, started volunteering in 1991, and went on to work in volunteer positions all across the board. After 31 years of volunteer work, Paula is being honored with the Dorothy Hilbert Award.

The Dorothy Hilbert Award is given to a female volunteer who exhibits the passion, dedication, and devotion for volunteerism that Dorothy presented throughout her life and time spent at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh.

Paula has spent much of her time volunteering in the ultralight world.

“When I started out, I was like a line guard at the ultralight runway,” Paula explained.

However, her dedication to EAA didn’t end with ultralights.

“I’ve done a little bit of everything,” she said. “I did admissions at the [Ultralight] Barn for a few years, I did retail, now I work at Convention Headquarters.”

While Paula has been involved in a lot of areas of the EAA volunteer world, her most memorable position

was as “Miss Hollywood,” a term coined by her fellow volunteers for taking up some notable people on behalf of EAA. The biggest one involved a live interview.

“CNN was live at Oshkosh on opening day,” Paula said. “I took a CNN reporter for the 6:30 or 7 o’clock in the morning newscast up in an experimental. It was a nice interview. He interviewed me live while flying, so it was kind of cool.”

Thirty-one years is a long time to stay committed, but Paula said it’s all because of her fellow volunteers.

“We’ve made so many friends over the years volunteering,” she said. “I’ve met all these people over the years that are still coming. There’s a lot of us that have volunteered for years and will continue to volunteer for years to come — it’s the cool thing about EAA.” PHOTO BY ANDREW ZABACK Paula also had advice for newer volunteers.

“Make sure you find something that you like to do or enjoy doing,” she said. “It will never be work, because you have fun with the people that you work with.

It’s a rewarding aspect of EAA, being able to volunteer with other people that have a like passion. I don’t know that any of us think of it as work, necessarily, because we have such a good time usually being with our friends.”

Thank you for all the work you’ve done for EAA, Paula!

Tri-Motor Time Traveler

BY JIM ROBERTS

BY JIM ROBERTS

AIRVENTURE TODAY STAFF

YOU MAY NOT know it, but EAA has its very own time

machine, one that will take you back to the days when airliners had radial engines, smartly attired passengers rode in wicker seats, and many pilots still wore jodhpurs and silk scarves. We’re talking about the Ford Tri-Motor, an icon of aviation since its introduction in the Roaring ’20s. Though the venerable “Tin Goose” was phased out of service in the 1930s as more modern aircraft were introduced, many examples continued flying for decades, serving staunchly with smaller cargo, air taxi, and sightseeing tour operators.

EAA’s Tri-Motor, a model 4-AT-E, is currently undergoing extensive restoration, so a replacement aircraft is on lease from Ohio’s Liberty Aviation Museum.

This aircraft, a model 5-AT-B, flew its first flight on December 1, 1928. It was sold to Transcontinental Air Transport in January 1929, where it became NC9645.

Today it bears the TAT logo and the name City of Port Clinton, home of the museum.

PHOTO BY JIM ROBERTS

During AirVenture, sightseeing flights are available daily from the Tri-Motor base on the southeast corner of the Warbirds ramp (next to Taxiway P-1).

Nearly 40 volunteers — pilots, tour coordinators, mechanics, and ground crew — come together to make this possible. One of the most visible of these is Rafe Tomsett, who’s responsible for passenger preflight safety briefings.

It’s no exaggeration to say that Rafe’s aviation résumé ranges from Jennys to jets. His career as an accomplished aviation photographer and cinematographer was born early. His father was a World War II combat photographer, and if you’ve ever seen original footage of “Pappy” Boyington and his Black Sheep Squadron, thank Rafe’s dad. Rafe has fond memories of standing on a stool in the darkroom, helping his father develop photos. When the youngster was placed in a T-33 cockpit at his uncle’s Air Force pilot training graduation, the aviation seed was planted.

Years later, as a TV and film student at San Bernardino Valley College, he became friends with aviation legend Art Scholl, head of the Department of Aeronautics. Art arranged an introductory flight at Flabob Airport in a J-3 Cub, and the seed grew. Rafe later soloed that same Cub, and credits his love of antique and vintage aircraft to his days at Flabob.

It was also Scholl who, during the 1980 Reno Air Races, introduced Rafe to the Canadian Snowbirds Air Demonstration Squadron. By then, Rafe was building an impressive aviation photography portfolio. The Canadians took a liking to the young man, and for the next 32 years he served as their official photographer, being named an honorary team member in 1995.

Rafe enjoys meeting and briefing Tri-Motor passengers and strives to provide a history lesson in the process. He notes that the flight experience is much like it would have been nearly a century ago, with the same sounds, smells, and view of the countryside, “minus only the fried chicken lunch.” To enhance his presentation, Rafe sports period-correct clothing collected after painstaking research of historical photos and hours of searching estate sales, thrift shops, and eBay listings.

He also shares some wisdom: “Almost every good thing in aviation that’s happened to me has come from volunteering.” Whether crewing on a 1918 Curtiss Jenny or Gen. Hap Arnold’s C-41A, “These opportunities are out there for everyone.”

SPECIAL SESSIONS AVAILABLE AT PILOT PROFICIENCY CENTER AMONG THE MANY quality offerings in EAA’s revamped Pilot Proficiency

Center at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2022, the advocacy and safety Department is developing two special offerings.

The Amateur-Built Flight Test Experience, on Wednesday from noon to 5 p.m., will consist of two separate programs: a focused simulator-based course on test flying aimed at pilots who will soon flight-test their experimental aircraft, and a larger, broader group discussion on test flying and the EAA Flight Test Manual. Both programs will feature prominent figures in the world of aviation and flight testing. While the simulator course is fully booked, there is still space available in the group discussion.

Rather than flight-testing an experimental, do you feel like being part of the experiment? Join us for a study on emergency decision-making in our Redbird flight simulators on Thursday from noon to 5 p.m. The study only takes 30 minutes, and it will place pilots in an emergency situation and study their responses. Your performance will not be critiqued; this is simply a study to collect data about how pilots handle different situations.

Both the Wednesday and Thursday sessions require preregistration. Please visit EAA.org/PPC for more information.

Plane & Simple: A Writer’s Workshop How to tell your story

BY ERIN HENZE

AIRVENTURE TODAY STAFF

ON THURSDAY, JULY 28, Cam Martin,

EAA 536955, will be leading “Plane & Simple: A Writer’s Workshop” at the Hilton Theater in the EAA museum.

Scheduled for 8:30 a.m., AirVenture attendees can learn how to write down some of their favorite aviation stories.

Cam Martin, retired NASA public affairs officer and longtime EAA chaplain, has a passion for telling stories. From giving talks at the Smithsonian to leading forums at Oshkosh, Cam believes that telling stories helps keep history alive. And,

according to Cam, Oshkosh is just the place to find some great aviation stories.

“Oshkosh is a lot of things, but one of the things that Oshkosh is, is it’s a storytelling machine,” Cam said. “If you’re on the flightline, there’s an announcer and he is describing what you are looking at … there’s storytelling that goes on in the forums, there’s storytelling that goes on in the Theater in the Woods program. Oshkosh is probably the greatest aviation storytelling venue on the planet, for one week a year.”

TUESDAY, JULY 26, 2022 Many aviators are used to telling stories through hangar flying. However, most of these stories never get written down, told only orally from pilot to pilot. Cam wants to help pilots and aviation enthusiasts get some of these stories written down for future generations.

“Because I’m the EAA’s chaplain, I’m part of the Memorial Wall Sunday event,” Cam said. “In addition to having their name in metal on the wall, there is a photograph of the person and a 500-word biography to acquaint you with, well, who is this person. The biographies come from the families … sometimes they are 500 words long with lots of detail, and sometimes, the biographies are one sentence, and that has exhausted what anybody was able to say.”

While family members may try their hardest, some simply don’t know [or] understand the love or have the correct aviation vocabulary to do their loved one justice.

And, while many people talk of writing down their life story, many don’t, as it may seem like too daunting of a task.

“They might have a 10,000-page life story, but it’s probably 5,000 two-page bitesized pieces,” Cam said. “Knowing that people have the desire to do that, my thought was, let’s have a ‘plane’ and simple writer’s workshop.”

According to Cam, the workshop will focus on a pilot’s first solo. However, nonpilots are also encouraged to come.

“You have a story of your first Oshkosh,” Cam said. “You’re here at Oshkosh, you like something about aviation, and have an aviation story someplace. All the best stories have airplanes in them, and all the best airplane stories have people in them.”

So what can you expect to happen at the writer’s workshop? Cam has a variety of instructions and questions to help attendees tell their story, but it always helps to come prepared.

“Bring something to write with and bring something to write on,” Cam said.

“Bring something to write about, something to think about, and take some notes with you.”

LOST ITEMS? NO PROBLEM! EAA volunteers often reunite owners, items

BY BARBARA A. SCHMITZ

AIRVENTURE TODAY STAFF

IF YOU’VE LOST something, it’s likely it will be found and

returned to you. EAA’s Lost and Found/Information volunteers make sure of that.

Lost and Found Chairman Gary Sternberg said 12 volunteers, with a combined hundreds and hundreds years of service, work the building located near the AOPA tent and first aid building on the EAA AirVenture Oshkosh grounds. Although the building is officially open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily, these volunteers help return items like cameras, cellphones, sunglasses, and car keys well after their official closing for the day.

Gary said the most common question they get is “where is,” whether it be the forums, workshops, Wearhouse, and more.

The most common things lost? Cellphones and glasses.

But there’s been quite of collection of odd things found and returned to the rightful owner, as well.

“Last year, Martha the cockatiel flew in past the control tower and landed in Paul’s Woods,” Gary said. The male pet bird had escaped its Oshkosh home, made it nearly 5 miles to the AirVenture grounds, and then managed to befriend a couple who were familiar with birds and knew to contact Lost and Found. It took some investigative work and a little luck, but Martha was reunited shortly after with her family.

Gary said they’ve also helped to find a glass eye, false teeth, wedding rings, including one lost for two years, and a dog named Pee Wee in a carrier bag. Evidently, Grandpa was left in charge of the dog while the family checked out the grounds, and he forgot about it and walked away.

Probably one of the most difficult items to return was a Chinese passport, Gary said. They went through the Chinese Embassy and the International Visitors Tent to get the visitor a temporary passport, and when someone eventually found the passport, it was sent to the embassy to be returned to its owner.

Valuable items are held until the next year, in hope that people will come back to retrieve them, Gary said.

But other items, such as sunglasses, clothing, and so on are donated to various organizations such as St. Vincent de Paul.

His advice to AirVenture guests is to agree on a place to meet if you get separated from your group. “We have lost far more adults than children. Parents are good at saying, ‘If we get separated, meet at the control tower or wherever.’ But adults don’t make that plan and not everyone carries cellphones.”

Vice Chairman Grayling Peterson said the Lost and Found was started when the fly-in convention was held in Rockford, Illinois. “Ray Fiset said to [EAA founder] Paul Poberezny, ‘What can I do to help?’” Grayling said.

“Paul gave him a card table and a basket,” and Lost and Found was created.

LOST ITEMS / PAGE 24 Today the facility is air-conditioned and includes bins labeled with cameras, glasses, watches, jewelry, tools, and more. They also provide vendors with lost and found bins, which they pick up daily, ensuring that items get to one place.

“WE ENCOURAGE VENDORS TO CALL US AT 920-270-7910, AND WE TELL THEM WE WILL COME AND GET WHATEVER THEY FIND.” GARY STERNBERG

“We encourage vendors to call us at 920-270-7910, and we tell them we will come and get whatever they find,” Gary said. “Vendors think people will come back for their credit cards and cellphones, but too often they don’t know where they stopped and lost them.”

People looking for lost items can call as well. “We don’t mind phone calls at all,” he said.

However, items lost within Camp Scholler should be taken to the Lost and Found there, located in the security building on Schaick Road.

Creating Awareness for Volunteer Flying

NEWS & INFO

KRISTINIA LUKE

ACA EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

EAA AND THE Air Care Alliance (ACA) are proud to announce the first Public Benefit

Flying Day here at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh, which is being held July 29, 2022.

Public benefit flying is when volunteer pilots use their own aircraft to assist the health and well-being of others. Each year thousands of volunteer pilots provide free flights for health, compassion, and community service. The pilots donate their time, skills, and all flight expenses for a variety of humanitarian purposes, including access to distant health care, animal relocation, and disaster relief. Last year alone, volunteer pilots in the ACA network flew over 40,000 free flights for those in need.

The Air Care Alliance is the umbrella group that supports and represents this type of flying nationwide. The ACA network is composed of over 50 independent volunteer pilot groups including Angel Flight, LifeLine Pilots, Pilots N Paws, CalDART, and STEM Flights.

“Flying to help others is such a unique, impactful form of service. We want more pilots to do it so more individuals can benefit from it,” said Jim Hesseman, president of ACA. “Public Benefit Flying Day is an effort to create awareness of this unique community service and to encourage more pilots to participate with the groups in their area.”

ADVOCACY & SAFETY

MODERNIZATION OF SPECIAL HAPPY 50TH AIRWORTHINESS CERTIFICATES (MOSAIC) ANNIVERSARY

BY MADISON NORTZ EAA GOVERNMENT ADVOCACY

A TOP PRIORITY of EAA’s advocacy team, Modernization

of Special Airworthiness Certificates (MOSAIC) rulemaking, will be front and center in discussions with top government officials throughout the week of AirVenture 2022. MOSAIC has been highly anticipated by the general aviation community, as it includes reform to light-sport and experimental aircraft categories that would significantly increase utility and safety while also spurring the growth of general aviation.

BY LEVERAGING SPORT PILOT’S SYSTEM OF TRAINING AND INSTRUCTOR ENDORSEMENTS, WE BELIEVE THAT CURRENT AND FUTURE SPORT PILOTS CAN

MOSAIC is also expected to contain important reforms for the experimental aircraft community. This will chiefly come in the form of less restrictive language in Part 91.319, allowing operating limitations to be assigned by policy based on risk rather than across the board. The inflexibility of Part 91 rules as applied to experimental aircraft was on full display in the aftermath of a court decision last year. This decision briefly removed the ability to receive flight training in experimental aircraft, disrupting industry operations and impacting safety.

MOSAIC has been in the works for several years and is nearing completion; if given priority, the FAA could release a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) later this year. The EAA advocacy team will be working hard this week to ensure that government officials understand the importance of MOSAIC and the safety benefits and growth opportunities we all stand to gain by issuing it expeditiously.

FROM DYNON AND ADVANCED FLIGHT SYSTEMS

EXPAND THE PRIVILEGES OF THEIR INITIAL CERTIFICATE TO OPERATE LARGER AND MORE CAPABLE AIRCRAFT.

Current size and weight regulations limit the usefulness of light-sport aircraft as training aircraft for flight schools.

Changing the limitations of LSA from an arbitrary weight to performance-based metrics will allow for larger and more capable aircraft and permit a wider range of students and instructors to fly them, significantly increasing access to flight training. This will afford flight schools more opportunities to refresh their fleets by making larger and more durable LSA a viable option for training operations.

MOSAIC will also enable innovation by removing the restriction that powered LSA must have a reciprocating engine. This will enable future electric, hybrid, distributed power, and other new propulsion technologies.

Along with the increased capacity and capability in LSA, EAA is pushing hard for an equally significant expansion of the sport pilot certificate. By leveraging sport pilot’s system of training and instructor endorsements, we believe that current and future sport pilots can expand the privileges of their initial certificate to operate larger and more capable aircraft. This would apply to both sport pilots and higher-rated pilots operating under the privileges of a sport pilot certificate, enhancing a pathway for existing pilots to remain active in general aviation.

NASA INVITES COLLABORATION TO DEFINE ‘SKY FOR ALL’ NASA PUBLIC AFFAIRS

WE’VE LONG HELD dreams of what the future of air travel could look like.

Something out of The Jetsons TV show or a Star Wars movie is generally the go-to vision for most people: aircraft of all types and sizes, including those without pilots onboard, safely flying anywhere at all altitudes anytime for many different reasons.

But there’s more to it than that. It’s a future that could include a distributed digital backbone to seamlessly integrate innovation and tradition in aeronautics, expanding the idea of what commercial air travel looks like while enabling it to grow safely and sustainably.

Now, thanks to technology developed by NASA Aeronautics and its research partners during the past decade or so, more of those dreams than ever before are nearly ready to be turned into reality.

So, the big question is: What’s next?

Perhaps wildfire management or emergency medical transport aircraft could come before our personal flying cars. There are all kinds of possibilities.

But even more importantly, what additional research and development will be required to fully realize those selected dreams? How soon do we need to begin that work, and what technology still needs to be perfected?

To answer those questions, NASA is looking for expert counsel from anyone and everyone with a stake in what the future of air travel should look like by midcentury. Their input will help define that future vision — a vision NASA is calling “Sky for All.” “Sky for All is all about that articulation of where we want to be during the mid-21st century and what we need to do to get there,” said Shawn Engelland, NASA’s lead for Sky for All. Sky for All will include some specific examples of what the future will look like, but it’s not meant to

provide a concept of operations for some large-scale air transportation system. Nor is Sky for All the name of a specific research program or project.

The idea is that information compiled for Sky for All will be able to guide decisions on where NASA should invest its research resources during the coming years.

This information also will help the Federal Aviation Administration make its research investment decisions as it pursues similar efforts.

“It’s important that we collaborate on this vision we’re developing for the midcentury NAS [national airspace system] and understand how the NAS needs to transform in order to enable operations that are flexible, sustainable, secure, and connected,” said Kurt Swieringa, NASA’s deputy manager for technology of the Air Traffic Management eXploration project.

The centerpiece of this collaboration with industry, academia, and other government agencies is a publicly accessible website in which the Sky for All vision is explained in much more detail, and input is invited on nearly every page.

“This input is very important to us. We realized from the outset that listening to our stakeholders was going to be the best way for us to get to where we want to go with this vision,” Engelland said.
