I'll be visiting my mom and/or brother whom happen to live there as well but perhaps Friday night would be a good time to get together. Otherwise, I'll be in the pit area. Free pass again this year, I hope. Anybody need a spare "wrench" for their racer? I'd love to see CJ's run on the short Formula 1 course but that's never gonna happen. Craig Payne

    --> Yak-List message posted by: "Mark Schrick" <schrick@pacbell.net> Frank, If you come to Redstar 2004, I will lend you a NOMEX flight suit because we don't want to see you get hurt or burned in an accident. I just need to know what size you are. If people come to Redstar 2004 and they do not have a flight suit, I will bring my spares to help the group out because I do not want to see anyone excluded and I really don't want anyone hurt for ANY REASON. NO ONE will be excluded at REDSTAR 2004 due to not owning a NOMEX suits. If they provide me a size before the event I will bring one for them. Frank, this is not an argument because this is your life and I personally don't wish to see anyone get hurt due to personal freedom. Why do you think motorcycles riders must wear helmets now? Because the Government wanted to take your freedom away, thought it would force you to be un-cool or because statistics dictated that this could save your life......... Just think about it and my offer stands for anyone coming to Redstar 2004. Be safe out there, my insurance premium depends on it.(small joke) Mark (SHREK) Schrick YAK Driver, Inc Western USA Dealer for AEROSTAR (Yak 52TW/W) 966 Wallace Drive San Jose, CA 95120 (408) 323-5150 phone/fax (408) 391-6664 cell www.yakdriver.com -----Original Message----- From: owner-yak-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-yak-list-server@matronics.com]On Behalf Of Frank Haertlein Subject: RE: Yak-List: Nomex or No Nomex --> Yak-List message posted by: "Frank Haertlein" <yak52driver@earthlink.net> About the flight suit requirement for participating in Red Star Activities............

I bought some Simpson Nomex racing shoes. They're great, if not a little warm in the summer. They are much lighter weight than the leather boots and more comfortable. They have thin soles designed for feeling the pedals of a race car so I carry my walking shoes with me. I figure there's a pretty good chance that the first place a fire will enter the cockpit is near my feet... And, oh yes, Doug, they're black..... :) Barry Hancock Director of Operations Red Stars, Inc. 949.300.5510 www.allredstar.com "Communism - Lousy Politics, Great Airplanes"

    --> Yak-List message posted by: "Drew Blahnick" <aapilot@adelphia.net> Folks, Concerning an individuals post attatched below, I want to insure something he stated is NOT interpreted as our associations policy. "About the flight suit requirement for participating in Red Star Activities............" The long standing (i.e. not new) flight suit policy we are discussing, concerns FAST formation at your association events/fly-ins, and is currently listed under the YPA FAST manual version 1.1, Chapter 2 page 4 that can be downloaded for free at any time from www.yakpilots.org. What we are discussing is our formation training policy concerning individual safety equipment. "Activities" is a broad and incorrect application of this discussion and I just wanted to insure this was clarified. The policy for the use of nomex is a long standing one and is not new as YPA members know. Just wanted to clarify! Leaving for the desert with the AF, my deployed e-mail is drewblahnick@hotmail.com Talk soon!

I'm sure if you could demonstrate that your fireproof clothing provides the same protection as a flight suit, and get it approved by the FAST board (not our Association, the governing body of formation flying), you'd be welcome to wear it. I'd actually like some fireproof clothing, Frank, what type of stuff is it and where did you get it? One thing we all need to remember here is that as a part of ANY association there are certain guidelines that need to be followed so as to mitigate the liability of the association. Even if this association did not require Nomex flight suits, if someone burned up in an association sponsored formation activity the association would be found negligent for not adhearing to widely accepted standards. Even as a flight lead, you are responsible for all the pilots in your flight, and as such could be held liable as well. Wether the charge sticks or not is immaterial, you'll spend a couple of Yaks in legal bills. > So.........In the famous words of our soon to be governator > "hasta la vista, baby"! I think it's very unfortunate to somehow associate your position with one of someone who stands up for what they believe in. I don't think Arnold would ever cut and run....

If you're willing to spend the $$ on fireproof clothing to fly in a C-172 then it's not that big of a reach to spring less than $100 for a decent Nomex flight suit. C'mon folks.

    --> Yak-List message posted by: "Ernie" <ernest.martinez@oracle.com> Firstly, Arnold doesnt need to wear nomex, he is living tissue over an armor skeleton and in the case of a fire his skin would burn off but he could keep flying. I have to wear nomex underwear due to my love of mexican food, its a little itchy but has kept my outer garments in tact. I dont think my YPA, and other patches would look very good on my Ralph Lauren Nomex polo shirts and slacks (its from his fire rescue line). Women love guys in flight suits, plus at airshows the kids like to get up close to a real life pilot, they wouldnt know it if we werent wearing our way cool flight suits. "No problema dude" If you didnt wear a helmet the best you could do is paint up your headsets, to match that real cool Piper paint scheme you put on your warbird.

    --> Yak-List message posted by: "Mark Schrick" <schrick@pacbell.net> Just having a little fun,,,,,,,,, Flat inverted spins will keep you pressed against the wall of the cockpit and your heart a racing......... We do spins upright and inverted to practice for accidental departures during ACM. All fun stuff in the Yak 52. Keep smiling and stay safe out there........

    Subject: Off air awhile.
    --> Yak-List message posted by: cjpilot710@aol.com Troops, I'm off air awhile. Gone to fly the B-24 for awhile (2 weeks) than south to Belo Horizonta, Bz. to be with our #2 grandson for a week or so. Should see one hell of a warbird show at Willow Run tomorrow when I catch up with the B-24. Understand that there are 4 (yes FOUR) B-17s there as well as a bunch of other WW2 stuff not normally seen (like a Helldiver). Anyway I should be back on line after Sept one. Fly safe guys. Make sure the nut on the stick is tight. Jim Goolsby

    Subject: Yak 18
    --> Yak-List message posted by: "Tom Johnson" <tjohnson@cannonaviation.com> Is the Nanchang basically a copy of the Yakovlev model 18 design? Or did the Chinese redesign the aircraft from scratch??
