(GRC-RXD0)[ASRC Aerospace Corporation]" Subject: Pietenpol-List: head's up for Sunday morning departures out of Brodhead ! Sunday's Airventure Cup race (Dayton-Fond Du Lac) will bring about 50 air r acers proceeding at roughly 1000' AGL VERY close to Brodhead's east side from approximately 10:15 to noon. I realize that barring poor weather or ground fog that many airplanes will be long gone by 10 am Sunday from Brodhead but just be aware that this traffic will be coming from the southwest headed to the northeast in that timeframe. Heads on a swivel ! (the last leg of the Cup race is from Freeport (FEP) to Lomira, just south of Fond Du Lac. (FLD) As a side note, one of the racers in that race is currently building a Pie tenpol Air Camper.

Our friend Gary Gower from Mexico sent me details of just such a setup that is used down there (gas stations are fewer and farther between). A typical tank for boating use holds six gallons, which would provide an hour to 90 min. extended range, for about another 60-80 miles. Hmmm... maybe even fit a long hose onto the tank, allowing one airplane to feed the hose out to another airplane for air-to-air refueling?? That would be some interesting formation flying while trying to refuel, eh? We who are not able to make it to Brodhead are going to be stuck here at the keyboards just making jokes and watching lame video clips, I guess ;o) Oscar Zuniga Air Camper NX41CC San Antonio, TX mailto: taildrags@hotmail.com website at http://www.flysquirrel.net ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 05:42:34 AM PST US From: AMsafetyC@aol.com Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Re: camping Mark, Be careful what you wish for John **************Can love help you live longer?

I know this is true because the Flight Attendant said so.

The wing panel that was destroyed in the forced landing has been rebuilt but hasn't been covered. The current owner, Greg Bacon, is planning to be at Brodhead this year. He'll be flying in with his 7 year old daughter in a Cessna 150.

I am sad to say I lost a friend to an aircraft accident here at Chapman Field tues night. Larry Eberst who Dad and I shared a hanger and some good times with, passed away July 14 2009 around 8pm. Keep him and his family in your prayers. He leaves behind 2 sons and a wife, and many dear friends. Larry gave me a ride in his RV-4 when I was an 18 year old, student piolt, worked the ramp with Dad and I at many a fly-in, and will most definetly be missed by all who ever met him. Larry here's to you, That you may reach up and touch the face of God, and slip the surly bonds of earth.
