I took Richard's advice and made 1/2 doors for my Mark III Classic. I
flew it with the half door on the pilot side and no door on the other
side. It worked out really good for taking pictures and there is almost
no wind hitting me. Thanks Richard.

Richard,
I used to own an early Firestar but have never flown a MkIII. Was the
above statement comparing the Firestar to the MkIII or the Hummer?
Never having flown a Hummer either I'm trying to figure out which
airplane's handling characteristics are similar to the early Firestar.
There may be other Kolbers who have flown one type but not the other
and might like to know too.
Thanks in advance for your clarification.
Attached are a few photos taken on Oct 7 on my flight to Old Rhinebeck
Aerodrome near Kingston, NY. Anyone in that area during the summer
should take the time to see their antique airs how on weekends. They
have a good website with videos of several of their antiques flying. If
I've mentioned this before, forgive my aging memory.

I am in shock and disbelief hearing the news of this tragedy this
evening! Dave was one of the nicest guys you will ever meet. He would
go out of his way to help anyone that need it. He even offered to drive
down to Tucson from Prescott with his BAMH and pull my trailer and plane
to MV in 2004, the year of my divorce when I didn't have a vehicle to
pull it and he wasn't taking his plane there that year. That was
typical Dave and he was dead serious. He had a wonderful sense of humor
and really made an impression on my new wife and daughter with his
kidding and laughter. Our deepest sympathy and condolences to Eve.
Rest in peace my friend. You will be sorely missed by all that knew
you!

When Doug (Sky Raider) and I (Maxair Drifter) flew
into Gouldings, MV this past May, we wondered if we'd
gotten the dates wrong - the airstrip looked deserted
from a distance. As we got closer we saw a single
long white trailer - and a beautiful Kolb being
unloaded. Arizona Dave was the first Kolber we met,
and his instant warmth an friendliness let us know
this was going to be a great weekend.
I remember spending time with him, Eve and George,
sharing Cherry Garcia ice cream in their motor home,
talking about flying, motorcycling, and being human.
Lots of memories of him and Eve packed into a short
time.
Although I didn't know him very long or well, I feel
his loss acutely. I was so looking forward to
reconnecting with him in MV in 2007 - I envy those of
you who knew him well.

The Firestar reminded me of the Hummer, light wing loading, sort of floaty,
the feel that you were flying something that was just wafting along on the
wind. What is it that Beauford calls it, the tissue plane? I forget.
The MKIII feels light compared to a spam can, but it doesn't float so much
as it slices through what the Firestar sort of floated through.

| Subject: | Firestar Fuel Tank |
Friends,
This is my first post to the list in a long time. I have an original
Firestar. Built it in 1986 & 87. Flew it until 2000 when it suffered an
unfortunate event. I started to rebuild it but job, family, mistakes,
ect. got in the way and I had to shelve it. I now have more time so I
got it out and dusted it off. I hope to have it back in the air in 2007.
I'll post some stories and photo's of some of our great trips we had
around here, (SE PA).
I'm also interested in a Firestar fuel tank conversion. I replaced the
original 5 gallon tank with an 8 gallon tank the from the auto racing
industry. It's heavy, barely fits, and I was never really happy with it.
I hope to replace it with something better. I'm also looking for MK II
in good condition. Does anyone know of one for sale?
I'm sorry to hear about Dave. We have lost several pilots around here.
Two due to engine failure on take off leading to a stall/spin. One of
which tried to turn around and go back to the field.
A third due to unsafe flying techniques.
Please be careful out there.
Sincerely,
Ed Bonsell

Two people die in light aircraft crash near Paulden
Accident is third area plane crash in 10 weeks
By MIRSADA BURIC
The Daily Courier
PRESCOTT - A Prescott pilot and a passenger died Monday
morning when an experimental/light sport aircraft crashed near Pilots
Rest Airstrip in Paulden, about five miles west of Highway 89.
David Arthur Pelletier, 68, and his passenger Michael Francis
Maikowski, 54, of Kent, Wash., didn't show any signs of life when first
responders arrived.
A Falcon Way resident called 911 at 10:27 a.m. to report the
crash after she and her husband saw the Kolb MK3 wreckage in their
driveway.
Sally Strickland-McAleenan and Ken McAleenan said they didn't
see the actual crash, but they heard a loud noise.
After Strickland-McAleenan reported the crash, she rushed to
help the victims.
"There was absolutely no life in there," she said. "It is so
sad."
She remained on the scene until the first Chino Valley Fire
engine arrived, she said.
A couple of other witnesses were in the area, she said, and
they told her that they saw the plane flying northwest toward nearby
mountains, and as it made a turn it dove into the ground.
Strickland-McAleenan said she and her husband were familiar
with the aircraft because Pelletier often flew in the area.
According to Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Ian
Gregor, the aircraft took off from the airstrip branching off Falcon
Way.
Strickland-McAleenan said, "This is a grandfathered airstrip.
It has been there since the World War II" when the military used it to
practice touch and go landings and take-offs, she said. "Most of the
people like the airstrip and use it quite often."
As he watched authorities remove the bodies from the wreckage,
Paulden resident Ron Stoks said, "It looks like a hard hit."
Stoks heard of the crash from a friend and rushed to the scene
to see it for himself. He said he knew Pelletier for 10 years.
"He just got a sport-pilot license," said Stoks, who also owns
an experimental aircraft. "He was flying a lot here. He had fun giving
rides."
Because his friend was safety-minded, Stoks said, he wouldn't
board the plane if he thought that it had a mechanical problem.
A few days before the October air show at the Prescott
Airport, Stoks said, he and Pelletier flew in the DC3 with William
"Billy" Friedman, a 40-year pilot who died in the Oct. 18 plane crash
that also killed four other people on board.
Coincidently, Friedman saw the Sept. 2 plane crash that killed
two adults and a teenager near the Pi=F1on Oaks subdivision in Prescott.
The National Transportation Safety Board is still
investigating the previous two incidents.
Gregor said a Scottsdale-based FAA crew and NTSB will
investigate this incident also.

Hi Folks:
Was looking through some old photos and came across this one.
It was a dark dreary day at Birchwood Airport, Alaska.
The more I looked at it, the more I thought it an appropriate way to say farewell
to my ole bud, AZ Dave.
Farewell friend.

I know this is a Kolb list - but a request is a
request - right? :>) To keep it as Kolb-related as
possible, three of these 5 shots were taken on the way
to/at the Kolb MV fly-in in May 2006. (I flew there
in my Maxair Drifter from Sandy, Oregon with a buddy
flying his Sky Raider.)
I sometimes choose to include part of the Drifter in
the photo, as I've done with one of these - but when I
do so, I have to twist and turn for the shot.

Kolbers:
I too knew Dave Pelletier. Although my visits to the USUA
Chapter #555 (that he had become president of) were simply
memories, the influence, and the inspiration that he brought
to the organization was part of the energy that kept it going.
It has been some time since I've been able to get to a meeting,
but, to show you how GIVING this person was, he had actually
encouraged me to fly his old Firestar, after he got the 2-place.
How many others would even have considered GIVING another
the joy of flying their prize toy, never having seen me fly, nor
having spoken to anyone we knew, of my capabilities.
He instilled trust and safety, and encouraged many who would
not have otherwise flown. My heart aches this day. I will be
among those who remember the examples he set, for all of
us to follow, and share with others.
Prayers and condolences for Eve, and envy of the time she had
with Dave. My sympathies to George Thompson, as well,
George Bass

Hi All,
This is truly a sad, sad day. This hits really close to home. I first met Dave
at MV and then down here in Tucson. Dave had been talking to me about purchasing
my Kolb. Dave and I had talked numerous times on the phone for an hour. A really
nice guy. I will really miss him.

Tucson, Az.
Here is a picture of the accident that was posted in the local newspaper.
Double click the picture and it will open up and be more clear.

Craig,
Well, this particular post *response* is kind of an exception to the Squelch.
Without waxing to geek, when I send out a Fund Raiser message, I include a special
email header that flags the email as a Contribution message so when it gets
processed by the Matronics system, it is only sent to people that haven't yet
made a Contribution. This special header isn't kept when the message is redistributed
by the system, however, so any subsequent replies to my original message
will go to everyone.
I checked the records, and your generous Contribution was successfully received
and recorded. Thank you!
The Contribution web site is: http://www.matronics.com/contribution
