Ernie,
Just goes to prove, you get what you ask for. Four well mannered Officers.
Not sure how any red blooded young single Naval "Officer" would be around a
room full of "Southern Debutants" though. I do know how young red blooded
Air Force Officers act. Don't care what racial mix you have. ETOH, young
Officers, and beautiful young ladies in white evening gowns is a lethal
combination.
Hum, brings to mind wild oats from days gone by.
Would like to have seen the following week's Gulfport-Biloxi Tribune's
society page after that one! Bet it was a hoot!
"Saturday evening, the home of Col.and Mrs. Beauregruad Thurston
Churchill III hosted a "Salt and Pepper" affair for the presentation of
their daughter, Anne Elizabeth......"

Pappy,
First, thanks for the report! Thanks again for leading the group
proudly. And thanks for covering my butt and doing the presentation on
Yaks/CJs in the warbird building.
For future reference, it's "Craig" Eckberg. Glad to have the award in
the group and I'll look forward to seeing it here in SoCal! He's very
deserving of the award...there are quite a few exceptional CJ's and
Yaks in our region now.
On that note, Worldwide Warbirds, Inc. is teaming with Doug Sapp to
provide what are certainly the most well appointed CJ's to hit the US
market. Some of the highlights on the aircraft include:
-Complete refurbishment in China
-Airframe completely stripped of parts, all functional tested,
repaired/replaced, and
re-installed
-All bushings and bearing replaced, including a complete landing gear
overhaul
-Stainless steel firewall. Not only does it look great, but it's a
big safety factor (increases melting temp. to well above the temp. of
windblown burning av. gas)
-airframe completely stripped of paint
-New US canopy glass, brakes, tires, hoses
and finally....
-metalized control surfaces with 3 axis trim.
-your choice of engine (Fresh OH M14's available)
The control surfaces are being completed in the US and can be had for
your airplane for about the same price as recovering. Aesthetically
superior and maintenance free....
Planes can be purchased "in the box" or restored to show quality
condition at our Chino facility.
We are also opening a maintenance facility in September that will
provide Yak and CJ maintenance to our west coast comrades, in addition
to our jet services.
If you have any questions, please contact me directly at
bhancock@worldwidewarbirds.com
Sorry I missed OSH this year. Especially sorry in light of missing the
chance to honor Rodger. Glad to hear we were "done proud" and lookin'
forward to next year....already have it blocked off on my calendar!
Cheers,
Barry

Spencer Rawlings wrote to me about the Service Bulletin issue - my reply:
In order to simplify my life, I have passed all the control and management of my
maintenance and spares business to my landlords at White Waltham Airfield where
we are based.
The only relevance of this is that they are now the owners of the Service Bulletins,
but are keen to help.
In the UK we have to have compliance with all 114 Service Bulletins.
I am waiting for a definitive figure from our principal Russian engineer who is
on holiday. However, I reckon there are 23 Service Bulletins that are genuinely
safety-critical.
I have spoken to Pete Shaw who runs the maintenance for Russian aircraft, and he
is happy to take copies of these Bulletins - remember that it is quite complicated
in that there are many individual pieces of paper; some are small and others
are big technical drawings.
We would be happy to give these to one person who would undertake to translate
them to a high standard and to disseminate.
Pete is happy to do this copying for free, but I wouldn't underestimate the amount
of work needed to get them properly and technically translated.
I certainly couldn't ask, or indeed expect Pete to take copies for everyone who
might want them - that really would be a huge job, and he is trying to run a
business!
I will get Genna to get a list of the ones we feel are critical.
If you look through the list of SBs, clearly the two most important ones are 59
and 60.
However, for example, 80 and 88 are additional ones supporting 59.
Essentially Yakovlev's view is that with 59 and 60 the aircraft are continued to
be cleared to +7G/-5G, and with the addition of 107 can fly 'unlimited.' They
are not more specific than that.
I hope this helps.

We just returned from Ava, IL, where memorial services were held Saturday
for our good friend Rodger Modglin.
For those of you who wanted to attend, but were unable to; the services we
extremely well done, befitting a super man. By visiting the beautiful small
town (population 700) where he was raised, we learned a lot about Rodger
that he didn't share with us. In turn, we were able to share with Rodger's
family a bit about the passion he had for flying, and demonstrate the
respect and kindred spirit we felt for him.
Mike Filucci did a great job of sharing his experiences of teaching
formation flying to Rodger, so that the family could understand what was
involved in his becoming an Airshow Performer. Terry Calloway then put it
all in perspective for us with a heart tugging eulogy for his good buddy and
team mate. Later at the graveside, 6 of our finest performed a flawless
missing man formation.
Ava, IL is about 40 miles southeast of St. Louis. If you ever happen to find
yourself flying closeby, I am sure that Rodger would enjoy a flyby, and I
guarantee the town's folks will recognize the sound of a radial engine.
Godspeed Rodger...

I can't recall who posted Dave Hirschman's article, "What Air Show Pilots
Need to Know about Recent Air Show Accidents," but thanks.
Much of what Hirschman wrote can apply to our air show formation flights. For
example, I substituted "formation" for "aerobatic" and here's how a portion
reads:
"We typically fly higher when we practice. We practice in better conditions.
We know the terrain and emergency landing areas where we practice. And most
importantly, we know that no one is watching.
And it's human nature to avoid practicing on hot, hazy, turbulent afternoons
-- typical conditions for summer air shows. It's far more enjoyable to go
through demanding formation routines on cool evenings or weekend mornings before
the wind kicks up. But those kind of conditions don't necessarily prepare
pilots for the real-world demands they'll face at actual events.
Formation pilots should strive to make their performances as much like
practice as possible. The extra burden of having friends, family ... in the crowd
should be banished from conscious thought.
'You must be able to fly your routine as if it were a practice,' said Paul
"Pitch" Molnar, chairman of ICAS's ACE Committee, ' with no additional pressures
or influences from the crowd or other external factors. Don't allow the crowd
to fly your aircraft......'"

I have been asked by several folks to post a list of new incoming parts on
the list. The thinking behind it is that some of the parts are of limited
numbers and by the time they get posted to CJ6.com they are all but gone.
since most of us monitor the list daily many guys feel that it would be
easier to just check out the list of incoming parts and then contact me off
list. If there are no objections to this bit of spam here goes the first
list. Another shipment is in the port clearing customs as we "speak".
Seat pins, front and rear
check valve springs
check valve seals
step cables (many guys are waiting for these)
gear doors left and right
# 7 pull rod (ail belcrank rod)
Flap bungee
Pop off valves
emergency air bottle
diverter valve-emergency
diverter valve -flap
hoses, many types, air and oil
air intake assembly (Stainless steel carb air horns, air box, intake screen,
baffle)
Stainless steel carb heat horns (aka elephant ears) Not the old funky soft
aluminum
O rings of all actuator overhaul kits
0 rings and seals for main and nose gear overhaul kits
main gear assembly complete, left and right
canopy glass, Stock Chinese
Remember please contact me OFF LIST if you have any questions.
Always Yakin,
Doug Sapp

Blitz,
Well said. There is a reason the AF brass frowns on the aviator that puts
on an impromptu air show for his family. Many class A accidents are
accredited to putting on an impromptu air show for the home drone or the
family farm. We are all guilty of it at some time in our careers. The
pressure to impress family, friends, and hometown folks has brought down
many a great performer and military aviators. Just add that little
something extra for the folks can reach up and bite us.
Unfortunately, we that stay behind have to examine the errors made by our
departed friends and put that in our clue bags to hopefully not make the
same mistake. It sounds like a cold thing to do, but we have to
compartmentalize our feelings and learn.
The PK of the ground is still one! The best we will ever be able to do is
equal it.
I am not trying to point any fingers here, but we all have to examine our
ways and techniques to survive in this arena of formation, aerobatic and
airshow flying. This aint spam can flying nor is it military. We are
paramilitary fliers without a flying safety program.

Subject: Humor of a maintainer.
After every flight, Qantas pilots fill out a form, called a
"gripe sheet," which tells mechanics about problems with the
aircraft. The mechanics correct the problems, document their
repairs on the form,and then pilots review the gripe sheets
before the next flight. Never let it be said that ground crews
lack a sense of humor. Here are some actual maintenance
complaints submitted by Qantas' pilots (marked with a P) and
the solutions recorded (marked with an S) by maintenance
engineers. By the way, Qantas is the only major airline that
has never had an accident.
P: Left inside main tire almost needs replacement.
S: Almost replaced left inside main tire.
P: Test flight OK, except auto-land very rough.
S: Auto-land not installed on this aircraft.
P: Something loose in cockpit.
S: Something tightened in cockpit.
P: Dead bugs on windshield.
S: Live bugs on back-order.
P: Autopilot in altitude-hold mode produces a 200 feet per
minute descent.
S: Cannot reproduce problem on ground.
P: Evidence of leak on right main landing gear.
S: Evidence removed.
P: DME volume unbelievably loud.
S: DME volume set to more believable level.
P: Friction locks cause throttle levers to stick.
S: That's what they're for.
P: IFF inoperative.
S: IFF always inoperative in OFF mode.
P: Suspected crack in windshield.
S: Suspect you're right.
P: Number 3 engine missing.
S: Engine found on right wing after brief search.
P: Aircraft handles funny. (I love this one!)
S: Aircraft warned to straighten up, fly right, and be serious.
P: Target radar hums.
S: Reprogrammed target radar with lyrics.
P: Mouse in cockpit.
S: Cat installed.
And the best one for last ..................
P: Noise coming from under instrument panel. Sounds like a
midget pounding on something with a hammer.
S: Took hammer away from midget.

Good advice. For those of you with a W or TW, check the coiled air line
that comes out of the compressor. Mine was rubbing on that little square
cover on the electric fuel pump bolted to the firewall. luckily its steel
and the pump shroud is aluminum so the wear was all on the cover and only
the paint was worn off the steel air line. Great time at OSH this year.
Everyone I talked to was most impressed with the Red Star formations in the
airshow. (next year hopefully we will get lower).

Troops and friends,
Well I made it home about 1500 this afternoon. Had to do a little scud
running though central Georgia, but visibility was good (>7) and I was quite
comfortable the whole time. Few rain showers here and there but I never needed
to stray more than a few miles from course. Earlier this morning I had to
divert into CTJ because LGC was reporting 700' overcast and 5 miles vis. A
quick check of the radar and a change of routing and I was on my way.
I flew a total of 28.37 hours of which 16.78 was formation. 15.33 was cross
country. On one airshow day we flew a 12 ship tight formation for 2.17
hours! The boys were so tired that they just sat in their cockpits after shut
down. They were pooped! We got all kinds of compliments. Even the FAA
weatherman during one of the daily show briefings, made a point of how great he
thought "the CJs and Yak formations" were. Our RedStar troops did us proud and
I had the distinct joy of leading them.
The whole thing started out a sad note when we lost Roger Modglin out in
Tulsa. Quite frankly I just couldn't get into the swing of things after that.
He is missed. On Friday the 29th we flew a special missing man for Roger
during the show. We couldn't go down low during the show, we did ours at our
assigned altitude. We had a 12 ship in sort of an arrow shape. The center was
the first flight in a diamond. At the call, Keith Harbor (#4) turned on his
smoke and pull up and than out of the formation, heading west. The folks on
the ground said it was beautiful.
We also lost Dick James in his P-51 "Donna Might". I was leading a 14 ship
formation in the show, when he didn't show up during the join up for his
flight. Nothing was heard from him. The only witness said that he saw the ship
dive into the ground. I didn't know James at all but the old time EAAWB
folks knew him well and were really hurting. Most of us didn't even know he was
missing until we got on the ground. Airboss found out where he was from a
phone call from a farmer way to the SE of OSH.
The folks at MTW put out the usual red carpet for us. And the EAA people
there always had some one on hand to help out. And remember that scrawny
little girl Vanessa? Well va va va vom!. Lets just say she's not scrawny any
more.
Well I am tired and have a lot of dirty stuff to wash.
Nite all.
