AIRVENTURE TODAY STAFF
FAA ACTING ADMINISTRATOR Billy Nolen discussed numerous topics, including the transition to unleaded avgas as well as MOSAIC, during the Meet the Administrator forum on Thursday morning at Theater in the Woods during EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2022.
With a 2030 deadline to complete the transition to unleaded avgas, Nolen acknowledged that the issue is among the top priorities for the FAA, and he is confident in the progress that’s been made so far.
“We believe we’re on track,” he said. “We’ve got a couple of STCs in the works around how we get there without lead and get to the point where we need to be. It’s a collaborative effort, but there’s still a lot of work to be done. … It will take all of us working together, and we’re never going to assume within the agency that we have all the answers.”
As for MOSAIC, or the Modernization of Special Airworthiness Certificates, which has been in the works for years, Nolen was optimistic that the finish line was in sight.
“We’re closing in on the finish line,” Nolen said of MOSAIC. “When you think of rules and processes, [the difficulty is] pretty soon people throw everything including the kitchen sink into the mix. Our goal is to make sure it’s doable, to never let good come at the expense of great. We have to be safe. The public demands it, and they should demand it.” The FAA expects an NPRM available for comment in August 2023.
While Nolen has been a pilot for four decades, it was his first visit to AirVenture, and he couldn’t have been more impressed with what he saw during his time in Oshkosh.
“This is a mecca. I know for many of you this is a pilgrimage to come here every year to see the best of the best of aviation — past, present, and future. I’ve been in aviation for more than four decades, and this is my first time at AirVenture. But it will not be my last time at AirVenture, I can promise you that. I’ve never seen anything like this. What a tribute to aviation.”

EAA CHAPTER 27 RV-12 ‘GIVE FLIGHT’ PROJECT FLOWN TO AIRVENTURE ’22
BY ROBBIE CULVER
AIRVENTURE TODAY STAFF
BEFORE AIRVENTURE OSHKOSH 2015, five EAA chapters were selected to receive wings for project “Give Flight,” to be built by volunteers and attendees. Following AirVenture, the wings were shipped to each chapter, where local fundraising efforts provided enough money to buy the rest of the kits.
Chapter 461 in Bolingbrook, Illinois, built a Zenith CH 750 Cruzer. Chapter 245 in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, also built a Zenith CH 750 Cruzer. Chapter 84 in Snohomish, Washington, built a Zenith CH 650. Chapter 27 in Meriden, Connecticut, built an RV-12, and Chapter 555 in Las Cruces, New Mexico, built a Sonex Waiex.
The RV-12 was built by the students from H.C. Wilcox Technical High School and was finished in December 2018. Chapter 27 President Mark Scott told AirVenture Today that then the chapter ran into a “certification nightmare” that resulted in a one-year delay. Following resolution of the issue, the first flight of N935WT was May 14, 2020.

A Meriden flying club was formed following the build completion, with 10 equity members. Since EAA chapters cannot own flying aircraft, a flying club is a common solution once a chapter completes a project. Club members (and mother/daughter) Laurie and Arianna Strand flew the RV-12 11 hours to AirVenture 2022 to complete the “Give Flight” objective of completing the aircraft and flying it to Oshkosh.
The RV-12 has a Rotax 912 ULS 100-hp engine and cruises at 110 knots. Built with pulled rivets, the RV-12 has a reputation for being a straightforward kit, important especially for youth projects.
For other chapters considering a build project, Scott said, “Kids not only learn to build the airplane,” but also learn other life skills such as reading plans, time management, thinking ahead, and “things that will help them in their future job.”

OSHKOSH MOMENTS PERSISTENCE PAYS OFF
BY JIM ROBERTS
AIRVENTURE TODAY STAFF
AT THE AGE of 17, Cadence Bomgardner has an aviation résumé that would make some folks green with envy. Private pilot with an instrument rating? Check. Partner in an aircraft rental company? Check. Opportunity for a type rating in the Cirrus SF-50 Vision Jet? Check. And that’s just the beginning.
From the day an 11-year-old Cadence looked out the window of a Cessna 182 and the flying bug bit, until earning a private pilot certificate on her 17th birthday and instrument rating seven months later, it’s been a whirlwind ride. And there’s no letup in sight.
Cadence credits her grandfather, Lowell Camp, with inspiring her love of aviation. He flew C-47s across “The Hump” of the Himalayan mountains in World War II, and was later a flight instructor at Redbird Airport (now Dallas Executive Airport). At 15, she recalls, “I took a Young Eagles flight with Dallas-Fort Worth EAA Chapter 34 in an RV-12, and that’s when my flame for aviation got rekindled. It was one of the best days of my life.”
Cadence got heavily involved as a volunteer with Chapter 34, and was mentored by chapter member David Clark as she studied for the private pilot knowledge exam, which she passed in January 2021. When it came time for flying lessons, the one thing she knew: “I didn’t want my parents to ever have to pay for my flight training.”
Enter the EAA Ray Aviation Scholarship, which she was awarded in March 2021. That award, along with a second scholarship from the Make A Pilot Foundation, fully funded her training.
After a summer of flight training, the date for her checkride was set for her 17th birthday in October 2021. Then the day before, she learned a scheduling glitch had left her without a designated pilot examiner. Undaunted, she began calling every DPE in the area. Working her way down the alphabet, she struck gold with Jake Huffman, a former B-52 pilot Cadence remembers as “a very thorough examiner.” After a four-hour oral test and two-hour practical test, the certificate was hers.

To fund further flight training, she and her father set up an aircraft rental LLC. Armed with a 21-page business plan, she recruited four investors to supplement her life savings and purchased a Cherokee 140, which today is available to rent from their company, Cadenza Aviation. Though her father’s name was required to start the business, he insists that everything to do with the airplane is her responsibility, and her name will go on company papers when she turns 18.
Buoyed by her success in the aircraft rental business, Cadence earned her instrument rating in May 2022. And through her part-time job at Ambassador Jet Center at Dallas Executive Airport, she met a local dental surgeon with a Cirrus SR22T and a spring 2023 delivery position on an SF50 Vision Jet. With offices in several states and in need of a second pilot, he’s offered her a type rating in the jet. She observes, “I’ll have to do that during spring break, since I’ll be a senior and I can’t miss school.”
Cadence plans to earn her commercial pilot certificate before then. She flew to EAA AirVenture Oshkosh with a friend and will hit 250 flying hours on her way home. The goal is to earn the commercial certificate on her 18th birthday and take the CFI checkride the next day.
Besides piloting an aircraft, Cadence enjoys maintaining them. “I want enough knowledge to work on my own plane. Overseen by an A&P mechanic, I had to re-plumb the entire pitot-static system on the Cherokee, because I was the only one who could actually sit up under the panel.” Would she ever consider building an airplane? “Yes … oh, my goodness … I like the RVs. Maybe the RV-15 … that would be very cool.”
As for long-range goals, college is in her future. “Whenever I see the F-35s go by, I think Air Force. It would be amazing to fly fighters. And Patty Wagstaff is my idol. I’d love to join the air show circuit.” To that end, she’s begun training in a Super Decathlon and hopes to compete in IAC events soon.
She also wants to someday sponsor a learn-to-fly scholarship program, since “I see my friends who are not able to achieve their flying goals because of a lack of funds.” Her advice to others who yearn for the sky? “EAA is the reason I’ve been able to do this. If you’re lucky enough to have a chapter nearby, become as involved as you can.”

EAA Aviation Museum Highlights

YOUR VISIT TO Oshkosh for EAA AirVenture 2022 isn’t complete without a trip to the EAA Aviation Museum. Here’s one example of the approximately 200 aircraft on display in this world-class facility.
2003 LOCKWOOD AIRCAM, N5084T The versatile AirCam is the brainchild of Phil Lockwood. After working with wildlife photographers in partnership with Maxair in the early ’80s, Lockwood established his own aviation consulting business and started designing an airplane specifically for aerial photography missions.
After the AirCam’s 1994 appearance at SUN ’n FUN, demands were made for a production version. This new version featured a monocoque aluminum design with a steel tube gear in place of the pod and boom construction of the first two aircraft, giving the production AirCam more stability and strength. The tail was enlarged to improve stability and control at very low speeds when photographers want to linger over a certain area.
EAA’s AirCam (N5084T) is model No. 1 and was used for the National Geographic photo missions in the Republic of Congo. The AirCam proved to be a great photo platform for photographer Michael Nichols. The crew got up early each day and flew missions from dawn until about 8 a.m., when the good light was gone. Around 4 p.m., they would head out again until sunset. Due to the ongoing civil war and all the delays the team had encountered, they elected to store the AirCam and return to the site in the spring of 1994 to complete the photo shoot. The results of this expedition can be seen in the July 1995 issue of National Geographic.
After two missions to Congo in 1993 and 1994, the AirCam was purchased by the National Geographic Society, which then donated it to Nouabalé-Ndoki National Park for use in research. During its service with the park, the aircraft was damaged in a landing accident.
It went unrepaired because of the remote location and the expense involved. Russ Solsvig, EAA 466754, an airline pilot, found out about the damaged AirCam and arranged to purchase it and ship it back to the United States, where he completely restored the aircraft. Solsvig later traded AirCam No. 1 to Lockwood for a new AirCam. Lockwood donated No. 1 to EAA in 2008.
Don’t miss your chance to see this Lockwood AirCam, located in the museum lobby, and hundreds of other aircraft in the EAA Aviation Museum.

Work on Sandbar Mitchell Helps Youths Find Right Career
BY BARBARA A. SCHMITZ
AIRVENTURE TODAY STAFF
THE WARBIRDS OF Glory Museum isn’t just about restoring World War II airplanes to their 1940s splendor. It’s about making sure that young people today learn about these airplanes and how to maintain them.
Museum Director Patrick Mihalek said that since being founded in 2013, youths have played an important part in restoring a recovered B-25 bomber nicknamed Sandbar Mitchell. Parts of the airplane, as well as the people who are helping with its restoration, can be found through Saturday in Warbird Alley, adjacent to the Fightertown Café.
About 45 youths have volunteered their time to restore Sandbar Mitchell since the beginning, many continuing on until adulthood, Mihalek said. “We saw the value of getting kids involved and know they can excel if given the chance,” he said.
The tasks students are given depend on their age and skill level. It could be anything from stripping down parts, to removing bolts, to drilling rivets, to sheet metal forming, to creating CAD drawings, Mihalek said.
Logan Kucharek, then 13, was the nonprofit organization’s first youth volunteer.

PATRICK MIHALEK
Today the Howell, Michigan, aerospace engineer has gone full circle, and besides continuing to work on the airplane, he is also teaching the younger volunteers maintenance and restoration work. “It was very much an apprenticeship when I started,” Kucharek said. “I started with simple things like sandblasting, stripping paints, or general disassembly. But eventually I started doing more complex stuff ...”
And as he talked with friends about what he was doing, more and more friends signed up to volunteer as well. Kucharek and a core group ended up going to Western Michigan University and being roommates.
Sean Farrelly got involved in the B-25 restoration in 2015 when he was about 18, just as he was starting at the Michigan Institute of Aviation Technology. He said he had barely worked on airplanes and cars before he started volunteering, and now he is a certified A&P mechanic working in Waterford, Michigan.
Farrelly said the work he did on Sandbar Mitchell gave him the hands-on experience to pass his skills test. Today, he’s also one of the teachers, helping younger members learn valuable skills.
At 17, Connor Pramov, of Brighton, Michigan, is currently the organization’s youngest volunteer. He’s been volunteering for about six months, helping with painting, cleaning, and more.
Pramov said he had no background in aviation, but he’s already become passionate about airplanes. He volunteers on the B-25 about three times a week, for four to five hours each day.
“It’s definitely changed my whole perspective on what I thought I wanted to do,” he said, noting that before he was considering careers in automotive engineering or policing.
Katelyn Brooks, 23, of Howell, Michigan, got involved in the B-25 restoration in 2019, thanks to her boyfriend, Anthony Muldoon, who also volunteers there.
“He gave me a tour of the museum on my lunch break and gave me Patrick’s information,” she said. And the rest is history.
After two months of volunteering, she decided to go to school to become an A&P mechanic. She finished the program in April, and now is working full-time in the field, mainly on cargo planes.
But she still makes time to work on the B-25. “Generally, I’ll stop on my way home from work for a couple of hours a couple times each week,” she said. Ultimately, she hopes to work on warbirds full time.
Mihalek said they hope to complete the B-25 restoration by 2026. To make that a reality, the organization is accepting donations to help fund purchase of parts and supplies, as there is no cost to youth to participate.
The Warbirds of Glory Museum will be moving to the Oakland Southwest Airport in New Hudson, Michigan, on August 1.
