    Subject: I'm a little depressed
    --> Yak-List message posted by: "Jorgen Nielsen" <jorgen.nielsen@mweb.co.za> OK let me update the list. The co-owner (3 way partnership) was taking the plane for maintenance at FAVV (Vereeniging, south of Johannesburg). He got low on approach and the gear snagged telephone cables and pitched down. He pulled the nose up, probably too aggresively with the ground filling the windscreen, the left wing dropped and he went in, through a fence. The fence probably saved a cartwheel and his life. He got out as the plane came to a stop, and flames appeared on the cockpit floor. People arrived within minutes to assist, but it was too late to put out the fire. Pilot OK, plane a write off.

    Subject: Race Challenge - again
    --> Yak-List message posted by: cpayne@joimail.com Well Sun 'n Funners, it's that time again; to register for the Sun 60 production race to be run on Thursday April 15. I have the entry form in .pdf format which I will forward. Once again I challenge all Yak-50/Yak-52/CJ operators to beat me. 4 or more of our aircraft will create our own class, which means merchandise awards. Good PR in the general aviation world. The Sun 60 (and Sun 100) is a good test of real-world speed. The start is timed from a dead stop on the runway around a 60 SM course back across a flying finish at LAL. Bring on your 400hp, 3-blade Yak-50's, your Super CJ-6G Nanchangs, them "TW's" too. I'll whup yawl. But, if I manage to slip up and someone gets by me, I will award them the "Order of the RedStar" at our Friday night semi-banquet. (Warbird dinner is Sat nite). Those who start but finish behind me (all) will win the "Hero of the Glorious Revolution" award. Now is the time for you Whiskey Deltas to step up and stiffen your resolve. Craig Payne

    Subject: Looking for Russian Patch Contact/Business
    From: "Jon Boede" <jon@email.net>
    --> Yak-List message posted by: "Jon Boede" <jon@email.net> Anybody have a contact in Russia, or know of a patch maker that can handle a complicated patch with Cyrillic lettering? I'd prefer to get a more Soviet-style felt patch with the raised plastic-like lettering, but a good embroidering job would suffice. 8cm patch. The patch is a copy of the 12th UAB Kamenets patch: http://www.email.net/images/uab-lancaster.gif Thanks, Jon

    --> Yak-List message posted by: "Ray Stallings" <jetjockey@alumni.utexas.net> No offense to Tom Johnson but if anyone is considering AIG for your aircraft insurance, you need to contact me off the list and let me tell you how their claims adjusters have treated me after a recent forced landing I had due to an engine failure. I will not renew with them, nor will I ever recommend them to anyone. Ray Stallings

    --> Yak-List message posted by: E R <jogggles@yahoo.com> Greetings! Would someone who got our group picture at Waycross be so kind as to email it to me? I must say I had the best time I have ever had at a YPA event last week, and I'd return tomorrow if I knew you'd be there. Elizabeth cjpilot710@aol.com wrote: --> Yak-List message posted by: cjpilot710@aol.com Troops, The first SE Formation Clinic was in my estimation pretty much a success. We were schedule to have 8 students however 1 got serious a mechanical problem on departure and his partner stayed with him to help. Pat on the back for Tom Bennett who was looking to finally take his Wingman check ride. We'll get to you Tom. Lots of help thanks to the instructor/safety pilots that showed up. "Wild" Bill Walker Ray Gage Terry Calloway Ken Terry (a T-34 type, but we took him anyway) Craig Payne Erie Martinez (new call sign "Martinass") Jeff Linebaugh Bob Langford Plus Liz Rizzo (I spell that right?) adding an eye pleasing form to the flight line. The students were all pretty much ready-up on the book work when they arrive. Jay Land (He had our sides hurting at dinner on his very first impressions on being in formation the first time.) He flies very well. Tim Williams. (In a brand new TW still unpainted) Mike Roehr (a 52 kind of guy who once flew the Voodoo "Who do?") He passed his Wingman check. He also allow us to work on his engine a little ;) Richard "Mongoose" Hess Retired AF type and now airline type. He and I both received our training from one Mary Gaffany as Florida boys. Ain't nothing wrong with this kid. Of course he passed his Wingman check ride. He has a brand new CJ-G BTW with all the bells and - - well, lets just say there was lots drull puddles on the tarmack. Ray Reeves. His starting problems set his training back a bit. He was also our best ambassador with the local folk, being very patient telling folks what we were doing there. Shane Golden. He's our SE Coordinator and he single handed operated the power point which I being computer dumb, would have been up the creek to give the ground school without. He flies his 52 really well. Jeff Linebaugh. What can I say? He of course passed his Checkpilot check ride. However I saw him out on my wing in Wild Bill's TW with the biggest shit eating grin. Man-was his teeth gleaming in the sunlight! On Saturday we put up ten aircraft. 4-3-3. We made a big arrow head and flew over Waycross several times. In my back seat was the airport commissioner "Mrs. Beth." There were several other local GIBs in the other planes. "Martinass" and Lize flew the camera ship. We got some good footage which show a very decent formation. All went as briefed. The folks of Waycross, Ga. were the best. There was always a small crowd politely standing around watching. The city commissioners and airport manger made sure that we got the first class treatment. Ever had a REALLY good BBQ for us on Saturday. Jim and Keith the line guys ran the fuel truck and provide oil so that no one EVER had to wait for service. On the AOPA airport directory page, customer comments are the highest and for good reason. These guys were top notch and as A&Ps were right in there to help. The boss Drew, wanted to know about next year. I KNOW Waycross wants us back. The airport, very nice now will be better next year after the $1.2 million improvements going on right now. All of us there, like and thought it should be done again. Looks like a "GO" to me. So thanks to Shane for the help with print up some manuals and power point, and Craig Payne who chased down hotels stuff, this went very well for the first time. NOW Sun & Fun.
