    It was actually at the Antarctic. It was to be a south pole crossing but he encountered stronger than expected winds and was forced to land at the US outpost there. The folks there were pretty unhappy to see him and wouldn't sell him any gas. Luckily, some other pilot had cached fuel here for his own attempt, and they came to an arrangement. For a while, it looked like a lack of a few hundred dollars of gas to go somewhere less remote was going to cost him thousands of dollars to get himself and his airplane home. -J On Feb 19, 2007, at 10:22 AM, Tim Bryan wrote: > > > Hi Listers, > > I am trying to find the info I remember from around 2004 or so when > Bohannon > (I think it was him) who had landed his RV in the way up north and > was not > able to get fuel or was not allowed to take off.

    Are you referring to Jon Johanson, and his unplanned stop in Antarctica? If I remember correctly he had unexpected head winds on the way to Argentina via the south pole and he had to turn back to Mcmurdo, and they were going to fly him out, and ship his RV. He stayed with the plane and another civilian pilot, who had a planned fuel stop there gave him the required fuel.

    Tim, You are probably thinking about Jon Johanson's flight over the South Pole and subsequent landing at McMurdo Sound because headwinds prevented him from making it to South America as planned. The U.S. base at McMurdo had a policy to refuse to sell gas to private flights to discourage visitors. Jon was able to buy gas from another pilot who had planned an attempted flight over the pole and had pre-positioned gas at McMurdo. You are probably about right about the date. I had ordered a carbon fiber plenum from Jon and was wondering where it was. My email was answered by someone telling me he was in the air over Antartica. A friend's daughter was working at McMurdo at the time and said that they were discouraged from even talking to Jon.

    Subject: panel finishing
    From: "Frazier, Vincent A" <VFrazier@usi.edu>
    Another option to finish your panel(and any other flat surface) is to use sign vinyl. There are some wicked patterns available. One that is particularly popular right now is carbon fiber. Many nice woodgrains are available too. Browse through some of the vinyl graphics websites and take a look. If you find one that you like, you can order it yourself or I'd be glad to order it and sell you only as much as you need so you don't waste 9 yards of vinyl. I can always use it elsewhere. You'd want to apply the vinyl after you're done cutting/drilling the panel. Then just install your stuff over it. The vinyls are very durable and will last for 9+ years even outdoors. It should last the life of your plane if you keep it hangared most of the time. Even if the vinyl gets damaged, nasty, or the plaid pattern you chose goes out of style, it is relatively easy to remove by peeling off with a little heat. Then apply some new and your done. No stripping, no paint fuems, easy. Check my website for other graphics. And I sell the world's best performing RV full swivel tailwheels too.

    // Let's not attribute any phony collective wisdom to this jury. Politicians and celebrities can't afford to say what they often know to be the truth. Fortunately, I do have that luxury. John Q. Public is often a cowardly empty headed slavering beast who will sacrifice reason and truth for any number of petty reasons. Maybe. But part of the problem is the law itself and while we might be able to ignore elements of it we find rather distasteful, a jury doesn't have that luxury. That's why I think the instructions to the jury are so very important. // True, I got carried away from my original point which you bring me back to, which is: Juries * DO * have that luxury, sometimes for the worse (OJ Simpson) but they are there for expressly that purpose, to over-ride laws that are nonsense.

I think the message of the jury is if you contract for services, your obligation and liability doesn't end when you sign the contract. At that point, as near as I can tell, the EAA/NWEAA couldn't just say "it's *their* problem now. Apparently the EAA/NWEAA had an obligation to make sure that the standard of services was appropriate. I believe there was a section in the testimony where the fly-in director didn't know what level of services were provided, and I think the court was saying that she should have. Again, I'm not saying I agree with this; I'm not saying I don't agree with it. For one thing, I don't live in Washington State and it's up to the people who do to change the law if this is, indeed, the case and they find it inappropriate. http://www.matronics.com/Navigator?RV-List<http://www.matronics.com/Navig ator?RV-List>

On the other hand, 10 years from know, I will know, what I don't know now, and my response might be, you bet I made the right decision to build the RV. Intellectuals (which I include myself as one) have a tendency to study a situation, or problem to death and never make a decision. I have learned at some point I must stop searching for more information and make a decision. It took me 34 years to decide what airplane to build and when to start it. It took a good friend to get me to start building when he said, "Just Do It, if you don't do it soon you will be too old to fly it." One could make the point that the Jury did not have sufficient knowledge or information to make their decision. Did they have 25 years of fire fighting experience? Then how could they sit in judgement of firefighters? Did they have 30 years experience as a pilot, or builder, then how can they judge a pilot or builder. Did they ever run an Air show? One smart person once told me, "you don't need to know the physics of how a microwave oven works, to use it. But, you do need to know how to stop and start it." I doubt any one person alive knows all the facts. But that did not stop the jury from making a decision. So why should it stop me from having an opinion? Anyway, that is how I see the world. I understand that others do see it differently! Do Not Archive Bob

    //I doubt any one person alive knows all the facts. But that did not stop the jury from making a decision. So why should it stop me from having an opinion? I'm not sure I understand this. What evidence do we have that the jury made a decision without having the facts? It appears they listened to the evidence and even -- according to John's article -- sent numerous questions back to the judge seeking clarification. That indicated to me they were engaged with the facts... Certainly more so than many of the folks on the RV list who've called them stupid have been. I'm not sure, at this point, what folks expected the jury to do? If the case came down to a question of whether Washington state law allows the EAA to not check to be sure the firefighting services they contracted for were, in fact, provided (and the testimony says it did not), and if Washington state law says that signing a contract doesn't transfer liability away from the EAA, then what exactly is a jury supposed to do if the person running the fly-in testifies that she didn't know what services were being provided? If we expect the jury to ignore the law that the legislators -- acting as representatives of the voters -- enacted, then aren't we saying to them: ignore the FACT of law? I think one of the distressing elements of society today, frankly, is that we assume people who don't share the same opinion we share, are stupid. To me -- as someone who has covered politics for years -- this is what has led to our polarized society. We are so entrenched with our opinions, that we demonize those who have different opinions. Pretty soon the merits of a discussion fall victim to some sort of "good vs. evil" ... "smart vs. stupid."

    Subject: Re: pilot's family awarded $10.5M
    Bob, I think the basic problem is that none of us can be convinced that the EAA should have been expected to contract with services more qualified than the local fire department. I also don't feel that any of us can be convinced that the EAA should be expected to perform some sort of quality test on the local services. You might verify they have trucks and personnel and those personnel know how to handle gas fires and such, but you don't actually run your own tests to make sure the people are in top condition and responsiveness. I don't think any of us can understand why the EAA is responsible but the organization that was on scene providing the so-called faulty services was exempt. The ONLY reason I can imagine this being the case is if the plaintiff's lawyers didn't want the local jury to have to give an award that was coming out of their taxes. Fine, move the darned trial somewhere, but if there were faulty services, the FIRST people to blame are the ones who performed the faulty services. My expectation when I fly somewhere is that if I have a crash, that the nearest available units will respond in a timely and professional manner, but I have no expectations that the nearest people will be available on field. I certainly don't expect rescue services to actually be in their hot, hot gear around the clock. And if I die because they were too slow, even unprofessionally slow, that's my tough luck. Unless I specifically contracted with the people for services they didn't provide, too bad, so sad. This concept of implied responsibility is very distressing. This case isn't a case of no rescue services available. It's not even a case of whether those rescue services were some shoddy, fly by night operation. It was the local fire department who in virtually all cases should be considered "good enough" without further checks. If those services were insufficient, it's the local fire department's fault, not the EAA's. I think there's plenty of blame to pass around on this issue, but none of it on the EAA. -J do not archive On Feb 19, 2007, at 3:11 PM, Bob Collins wrote: > <bcollinsrv7a@comcast.net> > > //I doubt any one person alive knows all the facts.

To say that the jury system exists because the Founding Fathers knew the rest of the system they devised had already "gone bad" is a questionable conclusion. What the Founding Father didn't particularly care for,one could argue, is the Chamber of Star, in which arbitrary power was wielded.

    On the flip side of this.. Had the EAA performed those tests and the service still failed they would certainly have been held responsible and maybe rightfully so. When you take that extra step you also become extra responsible or liable. EAA had every right to expect the fire rescue team to be knowledgeable in their field. Yes I realize they were volunteers, but they don't just pull people off the street who know nothing about fires. I find it unfortunate the responders were immune to the lawsuit but others in the field were allowed to come testify to what a bad job they did. Kind of got their cake and ate it too.

I'm not convinced of that either. The problem is that was the job of the EAA/NWEAA to make that case. Not the jury to make that decision. See, the way the court looked at is by merely signing a contract to provide the services, the EAA was acknowledging that fire services were important. So they couldn't really come out at this point and say, 'oh, we couldn't be expected to provide fire services.' The guy who really creamed the EAA here was James Nilo, the guy who runs the Virginia airports fire response. He testified about the standards and the EAA's response. IN my reading of the court documents, the EAA's response to that was rather to define these standards, the lawyers opted instead to make two points (1) a crew stationed at midfield would not have reached the RVator any quicker and (2) The RVator would've died anyway. You may well be right in your point and I think it's a bit unfortunate the EAA/NWEAA attorneys didn't attempt to redefine what proper standards would be in a fly-in like this. //I don't think any of us can understand why the EAA is responsible but the organization that was on scene providing the so-called faulty services was exempt. The ONLY reason I can imagine this being the case is if the plaintiff's lawyers didn't want the local jury to have to give an award that was coming out of their taxes. Fine, move the darned trial somewhere, but if there were faulty services, the FIRST people to blame are the ones who performed the faulty services. Read the article again if you have time. Apparently it's state law in Washington that the City of Arlington would be exempt in a case like this. I don't think the plaintiff's lawyers had anything to do with it. I think they probably would've been happy to have Arlington held liable. The problem is that -- because of Snohomish County's screwy law -- different judges sat on this case at different points. So the first judge says "Arlingotn is exempt" and the second judge -- later -- says "OK, Arlington is exempt, and now the liability transfers to the EAA/NWEA>" And in the end, what the EAA concentrated on was trying to convince one judge, what the OTHER judge meant. That's just plain nuts. //If those services were insufficient, it's the local fire department's fault, not the EAA's. //I think there's plenty of blame to pass around on this issue, but none of it on the EAA. I personally think that's a reasonable conclusion. Unfortunately, I don't think the judge didn't give the jury the leeway to reach it. do not archive -------- Bob Collins St. Paul, Minn.

    27 Years of the RVator will be available in early April. This year, besides as a book, it will also be available on a fully searchable CD. The book is getting fatter and fatter, and regardless of how much care we take to organize the articles in what we think is the most logical way, there are still many times when certain important pieces of information are not easily found. As a CD, or as an e-Book, you simply search for what you need (for example exhaust systems) and you are directed to every article Van has written on the subject, regardless of whether we put it in Engine Installation chapter, or Powerplant Operation, or Safety Notices, or Options, or wherever. SPECIAL OFFER As we've still got about 100 copies of the 24 Year Book on the shelf, here's an offer while they last. Order a copy of the 24 Year book today from the link below, and besides the book now, we will send you a FREE copy of the 27 Year CD when it becomes available in April. Just write in the special notes section of the shopping cart "27Year CD". Or place the order by phone to 800 780-4115 http://www.buildersbooks.com/24_years_of_the_rvator_vans_.htm Thanks, Andy Gold Builders Bookstore www.buildersbooks.com 800 780-4115

    Like most of us I can only draw from my own experience. When I go to the race track to race my car with others of like minds...I pay someone for the use of that track and the facilities/services provided there. The services I pay for are defined in documentation and I do very much expect them to be competent, properly equipped and capable of saving me when things go wrong. The article I read (posted here) stated that the EAA had required a certain type of equipment be onsite for this event. Which means EAA members flying in could and should expect that equipment be onsite. That equipment was not there. That ladies and gentlemen ends our discussion on why the EAA is responsible for paying $10.5M. If you MAKE the requirement, and then do not follow it...you have shot yourself in the posterior and nobody can save you. They wrote down the requirement...there just is no way around it.

    Bill, that isn't so. There was equipment on the field at the time. This occurred just prior to the airport being closed for the airshow. A fire engine was stationed on the west side of the field as it is every day at almost any airshow I have attended. I am not entirely sure why the choice was made to dispatch a truck from somewhere else other than because the accident occurred on the East side of the field across the active runways. The accident did not look survivable and it may have played a contributing factor in decisions made in the heat of the moment. I do not know how they do this. I also could not speak to weather this would have made a difference.

    Subject: panel finishing
    From: Erich_Weaver@URSCorp.com
    Vincent: Thanks for the tip. It hadnt occurred to me that vinyl was an option for panel finishing and I am now considering going this route. Question: Some of my instruments fit into their corresponding holes from the back of the panel, so that from the front of the panel, there is absolutely no overlapping bezel to hide any imperfections in the hole cut in the panel and any overlying vinyl that would be applied. Maybe its not a big deal, but Im concerned that I may not be able to apply the vinyl over my panel and then cut a hole in it that perfectly matches the hole cut in the underlying panel. Do you have a suggested foolproof technique? I guess the upside is that if blow it, I can easily start over. Related questions: (1) Do you have any recommendations for panel labeling on top of a vinyl covered panel? (2) I dont trust matching colors from my computer screen. I assume suppliers will generally provide samples for this? thanks Erich Weaver

    // [quote="lors01(at)msn.com"]To answer meaningfully, you would have to give a logical reason why the framers of the Constitution wanted a jury system if it was not as a check on a legal system gone bad. T.C. The jury system was part of an entire system of governance enacted by tthe Founding Fathers. To say that the jury system exists because the Founding Fathers knew the rest of the system they devised had already "gone bad" is a questionable conclusion. Defintely do not archive -------- Bob Collins Not questionable at all. As much as I revere and cherish it, they knew full well that the system they set in motion was inherently unstable.

    Subject: RV-7A N174JL has a new owner...
    Just thought I would inform you that my RV-7A, N174JL has a new owner. After posting a recent For Sale ad on the SoCAL and RV-List, it took only hours before I was contacted by Chuck Olsen, USAF Major from Edwards AFB, resident of Tehachapi, CA, (and MANY others) who were interested in the plane. Chuck drove 2.5 hrs to Camarillo prior to the Super Bowl, 4 FEB, inspected the plane, went for a ride, and made me an offer I accepted. Chuck is a Global-Hawk drone pilot, C130 Gunship Navigator at Edwards AFB, first-time aircraft owner, and a great guy! Chuck and I completed an annual inspection this past Saturday, and put N174JL back together. It was Saturday afternoon when the winds had died down, and we planned to take a few laps around the field here at Camarillo and perform a few touch & go's. Wouldn't you know it... the FLAP MOTOR decided it didn't want to work (flaps were extended) and we were grounded! The flap motor had worked flawlessly up until now and had been cycled at least 4+ times during the annual inspection!!! A quick call to Gregg Healy (RV-7A builder at CMA) and he allowed me to go to his hangar early Sunday morning, remove his flap motor in his 'not-yet-flying' RV-7A, then I pulled the flap motor from N174JL, and had the new motor ready to be installed as Chuck was arriving around 0830! Wheeeeewwww.... what a chore! (Thanks Gregg... your new, replacement flap motor is on order from Van's). Chuck and I did a few touch and go's at Oxnard Airport (KOXR) Sunday morning and then returned to CMA to meet his co-pilot Jim who has an RV-6A with a Subaru installed. At approx. 1115, Chuck and Jim departed KCMA in N174JL and she was off to her new home in a hangar at Tehachapi, CA (KTSP). Falcon Insurance required a 3-hour check-out in N174JL for Chuck so Jim was performing that duty after I climbed out of the right seat... N174JL was just one-month short of being 2 years old. First flight was on 3/17/2005 (see http://www.jacklockamy.com/N174JL_First_Flight_Video.wmv). She had 260.3 wonderful hours on the tach and hasn't missed a beat! Great airplane but I am doing LOTS of cross-country flight these days on business and have decided to go into a partnership in a 2003 Cirrus SR20. My new partner also has an RV-3A for local, fun flights but it may soon be for sale to make room for a possible Harmon Rocket project (I still have all my tools and LOVE to build airplanes...). Please welcome Chuck Olsen, his wife Carla, and N174JL when you see them flying in the SoCAL area.... You guys (and gals) have been wonderful and I'll see you all on a ramp around the area soon I'm sure...

Pacific Standard Time, bcollinsrv7a@comcast.net writes: I think one of the distressing elements of society today, frankly, is that we assume people who don't share the same opinion we share, are stupid. ===================================== Not stupid, just misguided, and I forgive you all in advance. All of my forgiveness will never amount to my agreeing with them, however. Much of the argumentation these days surrounds issues such as how many angels can dance on the head of a pin, or what is the sound of one hand clapping, when the answers are meaningless.
