Gus and John and the rest of the group,
I have been working on the plans for MTW/OSH and am currently planning on an aerobatic
box for at least part of the week.
I wanted to confirm or have a contact to talk to Gennady Elfimov about participating.
Also for the rest of the group - I was not involved in the previous MTW/OSH fly
in with Red Star (but going to OSH since 1992 and living in Green Bay since 2002).
How would people want to see the aerobatic box function? Would we want
to have it open some time every day or just the beginning of the week prior to
OSH? How many hours every day and what hours? It appears that 2 years ago
it was operational just on the 3 days Sun, Mon, Tues before OSH on Wed and was
operational for about 2-3 hours each morning. If we have aerobatic instruction
available I would think we would want more time. But I would not want to cut
into the rest of the flying those days prior to OSH.
Let me know on the forum or off-line what you all think and want.

Herb,
Thanks for taking the initative. The earlier the application the
better.
Why not apply for all days and just open it with a call to flight
service? Then when the call is made just tell them what hours it will
be open each day. We do this with our regular practice box in Oklahoma
and it works fine.
We will be arriving on Sunday so a box on that day would be desired.
Plus we will take advantage of it in the early AM and late PM every day
it is available.
Thanks,
Pumper

BRIG. GEN. STEVE RITCHIE TO BE PART OF AVIATION HISTORY AT ALL RED STAR
2004
We have been working on creating aviation history for All Red Star
2004. As most of you know, Brigadier General Steve Ritchie (USAF-Ret.)
is scheduled as the keynote speaker for the Saturday evening Awards
Banquet. Flying an F-4D with the famous 555th ("Triple Nickel")
Tactical Fighter Squadron, Ritchie became the only Air Force jet ace by
downing a MiG-21 on May 10, another on May 31, two on July 8 and his
last on Aug. 28. After completing 339 combat missions totaling more
than 800 flying hours, Ritchie returned as one of the most highly
decorated pilots of the war, having received the Air Force Cross, four
Silver Stars, 10 Distinguished Flying Crosses and 25 Air Medals. We
are honored to have him as our guest. To commemorate this significant
aviation achievement, we are working on putting together a ride for
Gen. Ritchie with Sal Rubino, who has a 2-seat MiG-21 based at Castle.
Many national and regional media outlets are interested in this flight
and it will be a great way to honor Gen. Ritchie's accomplishment.
SPONSORSHIP STRONG FOR ALL RED STAR 2004
An event hosting over 65 aircraft for 5 days does not happen without
three things. One, cool people like you with cool airplanes that like
cool events! Two, a huge volunteer effort. Three, sponsorship. I am
happy to report that all three are again in large supply for this
year's event. We are ahead of last year's registration pace. Our
volunteer staff has grown in both quantity and quality. And companies
like Aeroshell and Cannon Aviation Insurance have significantly upped
their sponsorship pledges for this year's event. This allows us to
expand and provide a better quality product while keeping the
participant's (yes, you!) cost down. Other companies sponsoring this
year's event include ADC Oil Filters, Aircraft Spruce, American
Propeller, Desser Tire, Doug Sapp, E-Z Heat, Oregon Aero, Shields Sun
Glasses, Silver Parachute Sales, and???
THE RAREST OF RED STAR AIRCRAFT???
The world=92s first low-wing monoplane fighter with a retractable
landing gear, the Soviet-built Polikarpov I-16, is one of the world=92s
rarest warbirds from the World War II era. Some 70 years after its
introduction, attendees at All Red Star 2004 may get to see one of the
six remaining flying examples of the aircraft. We are currently trying
to coordinate schedules with pilot Dave Morss to make this happen.
The Polikarpov measures just under 20 feet long and is powered by a
1,000 horsepower M-62 radial engine. It was considered well ahead of
its time and performed admirably against the German fighters during
the Spanish Civil War (1936-39) and against the Japanese Air Force in
Manchuria in 1937. Polikarpovs were also the world=92s first
rocket-equipped fighters.
By the time Germany invaded Russia in 1941, however, the Polikarpov
was obsolete. More than 7,000 of the I-16s were produced, and they
served as Russia=92s front-line fighter well into 1943. Partly because
of their appearance and durability, the Soviets had several unique
nicknames for the aircraft, including Rata (rat), Mosca (fly),
Yastrebok (eagle) and Ishak (little donkey).
Its all-wood, monocoque fuselage and 29-foot, 1.5-inch metal wings
proved durable in battle, but the airplanes required highly skilled
pilots to perform well. The airplanes were also very thirsty, holding
60 gallons of fuel, but burning 70 gallons-per-hour at top speed (304
mph). The manually operated main gears work through a series of drums,
pulleys and cables and, according to Morss, require 45 turns to raise
or lower.
Six wrecked I-16s were restored to flying condition in New Zealand by
the end of 1998, all of them Type 24s built in 1939.

ALL RED STAR 2004 WEB UPDATE
In a continuing effort to make registration more streamlined, All Red
Star is teaming with the web design crew at the RedStar Pilot's
Association to bring cutting edge technology to the registration
process. Much of what is being done is "back end" and won't be readily
visible, but rest assured it will make your registration and
in-processing at the event much more efficient. An update will be sent
out when the "new" site goes live.

NEW APPROACH TO AIR COMBAT TRAINING
Have you tried Air Combat? Are you interested but think it might be to
tough for you? Well, think again! This is the third year of the Air
Combat Training program and we are taking the lessons learned from our
previous two years to provide an even better product for all our
participants this year. Former F/A-18 Instructor and current Yak-50
owner John Hilterman has volunteered to run this year's program and is
incorporating concepts to make our Air Combat training a fun experience
for all, even if you don't want to pull 4 G's. This year there are two
parts to the Air Combat program; Tactical Formation (or TACFORM), and
Basic Fighter Maneuvers (or BFM). Tactical formation is something that
all FAST rated pilots should try - it is fun, useful, and definitely
adds to the bag of tricks for your weekend flights. The way the
program is structured this year, you can fly only TACFORM if you wish,
or after you are comfortable with TACFORM, the program moves into BFM,
which teaches the basic maneuvering for Air Combat. This is all in a
very structured, learning objective oriented atmosphere that can easily
be accomplished at 3 G's. Of course, if you want to pull on the pole
for all your worth, have at it! I'm sure you won't break our IP's!
For more information on the ACM program at All Red Star 2004, contact
me directly via email or phone.
__________________________
TWO'S IN, KEROSENSE STYLE
This year marks the first official year of FAST formation training in
jets at All Red Star. Classic Jet Aircraft Association Chairman and
FAST Check Pilot Doug Gillis will be running the jet portion of the
FAST clinic this year. We are excited to have this service at All Red
Star as it will definitely attract more aircraft to the event. The
CJAA has endorsed All Red Star and is fully behind our motto "Props to
Jets. One team, No Limits!" We are still working on a program to cut
the costs of the jet formation program by doing a piston transition
phase, however FAA and insurance regulations pose a challenge to the
viability of such a concept. I know it is hard to believe that the FAA
would stand in the way of a good idea... For more information on the
CJAA, please visit www.classicjets.org

MEDIA COVERAGE BIGGER AND BETTER AT ALL RED STAR 2004
Thanks again to a great volunteer effort, writers and journalists from
major aviation publications will be on hand to cover this year's event.
Among the rags articles will be written for are AOPA Pilot, Flying, In
Flight USA, Pacific Flyer, and EAA Warbirds. This year we are also
scheduled to have TV coverage from the Bay Area and Sacramento,
particularly if we can finalize the Ritchie ride in a MiG-21.
Additionally, there will be a 3 camera video production crew there
producing a DVD of the event. I am also hearing that a national
monthly cable program will be sending a crew for the event.
That's the latest news from this year's event. If you still have not
registered, please visit www.allredstar.com and follow the links. If
you have registered, but have not yet paid, you still have time left to
get your 10% discount on fees. Visit the pay page directly at
