FLY-IN MAP O PAGE N 12 WISCONSIN BADGER SQUADRON 6
Annual Fly-in at Oconto continues to growG KENT TEMPUS, OCONTO COUNTY REPORTER EDITOR When Jean Fogelberg and her husband, James Valentine, moved to Oconto Falls from Colorado among their possessions was a prized experimental airplane they built a decade earlier. The two-seat Vans 6A is hangered at Oconto-Douglas J. Bake Municipal Airport. “When we brought our airplane, we were impressed with the airport,” Fogelberg recalls. “But there was not much activity, no events. We said to ourselves, ‘well, heck, this is too nice a place to let sit idle.’” So the couple set about changing that. The fruit of those efforts is the EAA Warbird Badger Squadron 6, 8th Annual Fly-in. The eight fly-in is set for Saturday, Sept. 17, at the Oconto airport. The event — which runs from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. — features not just a wide range of military and other aircraft, but classic cars, antique tractors, model A’s & T’s as well as, airplane and helicopter rides, crafters, vendors, food and beverages, and much more. Admission is $5 for people 13 and older, while children under 12 are free. Parking is free. Since they’d never organized an event like this, they started seeking advice from people in the area and the Experimental Aircraft Association in Oshkosh, gave them helpful advice. Warbird Squadron 6, is a group interested in military aircraft and was based in southern Wisconsin. With help from EAA, the Squadron — just one of 16 across the country — was relocated to Oconto. Some of its members have warbirds they’ve acquired or rebuilt themselves. A variety of warbirds are scheduled including a TBM Avenger, L-19, Russian Yaks and more. “The Warbirds are getting older and older, and the people who fly them are older and older,” Valentine
James Valentine & Jean Folgelberg
said. “A lot of members don’t even have planes, they’re just interested in Warbirds and what they did for our country.” Visitors will also be able to see recreations of U.S., Civil War and German field encampments, as well as an American camp from Vietnam. “There will be Army vehicles, and equipment that shows the type of living conditions and what the soldiers’ had for a lifestyle.” Valentine said. Eagle III, the medical transport helicopter and other helicopters are scheduled to attend. An Enstrom helicopter made at the Menominee airport is also expected to be on display. In addition, numerous vendors will be on site, along with booths from several not-for-profit organizations.
Beyer House will be represented. The remote controlled planes fly all day with a special remote controlled aircraft show from 2 to 3 p.m. An estimated 10,000 in attendance last year we foresee this continue to grow. Many thanks go to the Boy Scout Troops from Oconto, Oconto Falls and Gillett, along with the numerous volunteers helping throughout the day to make this such a special event. The couple hopes the annual fly-in will not just boost the interest of children in aviation, but help lead to increased usage of the airport by business. “It’s underutilized,” Valentine said. “We need to change that. It’s something you’d like to see grow, to benefit the county and the city.”
Special Thanks! The Oconto Fly-in wouldn’t be possible without the special efforts of the folks “directing traffic” on the ramp. These dedicated volunteers are from the Warbirds of America group that works the EAA show year after year. This group of volunteers is expert and moving airplanes around the ramp while keeping crowds in safe zones. We are very fortunate for their help, and the help of our fire, police, sheriff, and other safety volunteers. 2 | Oconto Beacon, Lakes/Forest Beacon & Oconto County Reporter

TBM-3E Avenger
This aircraft is a TBM-3 “Avenger” torpedo bomber. Purchased by the Aircraft Carrier Hornet Foundation in 1998, it has been restored by volunteers with funds provided through donations. This “Avenger” is painted in the squadron markings of VT-17, a squadron that fought from the deck of USS Hornet CV-12 during WWII. The TBF/TBM was designed to be a replacement for the TBD Devastator. Public unveiling of the plane was scheduled for December 7, 1941. The attack on Pearl Harbor led to naming the aircraft “Avenger”. During WWII the Avenger was regarded as a rugged torpedo
plane; used against surface vessels and ground targets in the Pacific. In the Atlantic the Avenger flew primarily as an anti-submarine aircraft. The aircraft was produced in many variations including versions with two wingmounted .50 cal. Guns; with special radar; with cameras for photo recon and searchlights for Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW), utility, ECM and Carrier On Board Delivery models. After WWII, Avengers served with the Royal Navy, Royal New Zealand Air Force and French Navy. The last TBMs to be retired from active service in 1962 were flown by the Japanese Self Defense Force.

Radio controlled airplanes
WORLD FAMOUS FLYING LAWNMOWER Some guy shows up at every air show we perform at and tries to cut the lawn, right in the middle of the show. We try to shag him off the field but his lawnmower has a different idea. Instead of cutting the grass, this lawnmower cuts up the air. Yup, this lawnmower really does fly. Several years ago it was featured in stories in the national media.
AEROBATICS Smoke on! That’s what the pilots say when they turn on the smoke and let out in a friendly white cloud. Watch the aircraft do rolls, loops, fly upside down, and more. It’s like watching a thrill ride at Disney! We do this at every show with a variety of aircraft. WORLD WAR I AND II AIRCRAFT Watch as we recreate sorties with our vintage WWI
and WWII aircraft. You might see WWI aircraft such as Fand Albatros, Fokker, or Taube. For our WWII portion of the show, you will see Corsairs, Mustangs, AT-6’s, and T-28’s fly. While it’s cool to see the aircraft fly, we take “cool” to a new level by adding pyrotechnics to the act. Watch as the planes do strafing and bombing runs. Listen for the booooooom! In addition to the flying acts, they also have computerized flight simulators available for spectators to enjoy prior to the show. The radio controlled airplanes show and static exhibits continue to be a crowd pleaser. Stop by and speak with some of the pilots who come from all over Wisconsin. They have a combined radio control experience of over 300 years and have been performing for 25 years. We sincerely appreciate the efforts of these dedicated model airplane builders. It takes a lot of time to build them, and a lot of practice to be able to perform the maneuvers that this group will perform today. We are lucky to have such a great group of aviation enthusiasts entertaining crowds today.

Van Hulle to bring vintage tractors to fly-in Jerry Van Hulle of Oconto plans to bring a few of his antique tractors to the Warbirds Fly-In. “I’ll try to get four of them there,” he said, depending on the weather and Van
Hulle has eight tractors ranging from about 80 to 85 years old. “They’re vintage, and not just old,” he said. The collection has been assembled over the years. His first tractor came from his brother.
Van Hulle has brought tractors to the fly-in several times, arriving with different ones each year. “I like to bring them,” he said. “Everybody likes them.”
Jerry Van Hulle says his rarest tractor is a 1931 McCormickDeering Farm-All

L-19 Bird Dog
L-19 Bird Dog was Cessna’s entry in the Army competition for a new liaison/observation aircraft to replace the rapidly aging WW2 L-Birds. Other competitors were Piper, Luscombe, and Taylorcraft. Awarded the contract in early 1950, Cessna began production and the U.S. Army began shipment to Korea. Bird Dogs were used by the U.S. Army, U.S. Marines, and ROK (Republic of Korea) Army. Their primary job was to locate enemy forces, report their location, and direct army and naval artillery against them. They also flew emergency resupply missions, strung communications wire, and countless other missions. Many top brass were flown to forward areas, including General Eisenhower. Tonight Show sidekick Ed McMahon was a Marine pilot whom flew Bird Dogs there and was decorated for his actions long before his television career. After the cease fire between North and South Korea, many were sent to Japan under the lend lease program and used by the Japanese Land Self Defense force. One of the Bird Dogs at Oconto is one of those aircraft. It’s owned and flown by a pilot whom flew Bird Dogs in Vietnam, so they’re both combat veterans. The other
Bird Dog attending, the Orange one, was first used as a trainer at Ft. Rucker, Ala. A few years later the Vietnam conflict began. Once again the Bird Dog was called to active duty over the South Vietnamese jungles. Now the forward air controller not only had to locate the enemy, but also mark their location under the triple canopy jungle. Rocket tubes were hung from the wings for firing 2.75 inch white phosphorus (willie pete) marking rockets. On impact, they gave off a bright white smoke which gave a reference to direct airstrikes, artillery, and naval gunfire against. Many a grunt (infantry solder) owe their lives to the FAC’s flying Bird Dogs. They were also used over the secret war in Laos while flown by the Ravens. As Vietnam was winding down, many stateside Bird Dogs were assigned to Civil Air Patrol squadrons around the country and used for search and locate and disaster relief missions. Replaced by newer aircraft, they now are privately owned and flown in airshows, tow gliders and banners, and enjoyed for the great flying aircraft they are. Of the 3,437 built over 13 years, approximately 400 remain worldwide with about half of those in the U.S.

MIKE BERGER Waco UBF-2 13074 S/N 3691 rolled out of the Waco factory in Troy, Ohio on June 7, 1933. Famed aviatrix and New York socialite, Betty Huyler Gilles, first owned Waco 13074. After a few years of barnstorming around the east coast she sold the aircraft to Thomas Eastman of New York City. This began a long and active civil aviation roll for this particular UBF-2. Through the years she would change hands 22 times before being acquired by Woodson Woods in 1974. Over the years she has operated as a banner towing aircraft over Manhattan for the Sky Advertising Corporation. She also spent many years on floats,
operating out of rivers and lakes on the east coast. During over 80 years of active service, Waco UBF2, 13074 has had no major accidents or any major damage to it’s airframe. She has only endured minor incidents that come from normal wear and tear and small mishaps. Woodson Woods flew the aircraft for many years before completely restoring the aircraft in 1992. She has always been stored in a hanger and extremely well cared for over the years. She is truly the cream of the cream of the F-2 line and one of only 10 flying examples of only 18 Waco UBF-2s produced. Woodson Woods sold the ship to his son Scott in We have money to lend at great rates! Talk to a helpful Loan Specialist today!

Kobussen Buses Ltd.
Back to school time already? Summer may feel like it just started, but for some, summer is preparation time for the next school year. Kobussen Buses Ltd. provides bus service to Oconto/Peshtigo Schools and back to school means the big yellow buses will need to be ready to go. Kobussen Buses Ltd. was started in 1937 in Kaukauna, Wis. as the Kaukauna Bus Service, Inc. The company was born when the Kaukauna Board of Education asked local farmers and truck drivers to purchase and operate a bus to transport children living in rural areas to the Kaukauna High School. Elwood Kobussen, a dairy farmer and cattle/ milk truck operator, was chosen to operate this first Kaukauna school bus. This was due mostly to the fact that he was already transporting students to and from school on his trucks. The idea of busing children gained momentum and a second bus was purchased in 1940. The school bus business progressed slowly. One bus was added each year until the mid-1950s. The business began to flourish in the late 1950s. James Kobussen and Michael Kobussen, Elwood Kobussen’s, sons, joined the company, and then in the ’90s their children, Joe, Dan, Melissa and Scott joined the company.
AIRPORT SHUTTLE Kobusses Buses will be operating out of the West Parking Lot Whispering Pines Express will be operating out of the East Parking Lot
Today Kobussen Buses Ltd. and its staff of 700 provide school bus service, charter trips, community service transportation and luxury motor coach travel, throughout the state of Wisconsin. Kobussen currently
works with 16 school districts across the state out of 12 offices. Kobussen may be a state wide company, but we take pride in growing our business with local talent. Kobussen offers competitive wages and benefits. We are always looking for good staff and drivers that want a love to work with kids. School bus transportation is one of the safest ways to travel. According to the Schoolbusfacts.com school bus travel is 50 times safer than car travel. The average bus takes 32 cars off of the road, so it is a green and clean way to travel as well. Kobussen Buses is very excited about providing safe economical transportation to the children of the Oconto and Peshtigo area. We know the importance of small communities and take pride in providing the safest possible transportation possible for your children. For more information go to kobussen.com.

Yak-52
THE PILOTS The red and white Yak-52 is flown by Lee Haven out of Green Bay (call sign “Hotwire”). Lee earned that call sign as he was once trapped in Chicago, wanted to see his family in Green Bay, and hotwired his airplane to get home to them. It’s abnormal to see an airplane with wire hanging
on the OUTSIDE of the cockpit on the ground, but it’s unnerving to see it in the air. Lee’s Yak was assembled in Russia and used by the military until it was imported to the U.S. 15 years ago. Lee’s Yak is maintained and flown by his father and two sons.
