Saturday Morning Breakfast

By



All
The Saturday morning breakfast we had was a resounding success. The eggs to order, the bacon fried crispy, the fruit garnish, the DVD movie on Alaskan Piper Cubs landing on very short sandbars, all made it a great get-together for those who chose to attend. After all was cleaned up and put away a survey of those in attendance agreed we should have a Saturday morning breakfast meeting once a month so that will be our plan for the coming months. Our thanks goes out to John Hayes who led the cooking effort and to Gary Fender for helping in the cleanup. We will be looking for a volunteer cook for next month so if you love to cook here is your chance to show everyone you're cooking skills.
For those of you who couldn’t make to the breakfast, you missed a good one. Hopefully once we announce the schedule for July we can get a better turnout.

High Lights from the BMG Airport Board Meeting include:

A new PAPI to replace the VASI on runway 17 is coming.

A new approach lighting system for the ILS on runway 35 is coming.

Watch for NOTAMS on both these items.

A barrier along the fence line around the entire airport is being constructed to prevent animals from crawling under the fence.

Land purchase for the 55 acres north of the airport is now complete.

Cook Aviation lease has been extended 5 years.

CAP will be parking their communication trailer somewhere inside the fence on the airport. Exact location TBD.

After discussion it was unanimous that there will NOT be any formal airshow activity at the airport due to a number of issues.This does not rule out anything the EAA may bring in for demonstrations.


Everyone Fly Safe and have a Great 4th of July.

    Begin forwarded message: From: beck8@comcast.net Subject: British Imperial Airways 1930's Date: January 14, 2014 10:36:14 PM EST            British Imperial Airways 1930's Flying the airlines in the thirties was a lot more fun than it is now. It was more leisurely and had more class. Certain elitist and anti-British people have no time for these period "rich types". People like these, the risk takers (especially with their own money) were the backbone of the UK. They flew from the first airline operations across the Channel in 1919.   If people had serious money in the 1930s and traveled internationally, they may well have flown on one of these large (130 foot wingspan) Handley Page bi-plane aircraft, which were the mainstay of British Imperial Airways at the time. They carried 26 passengers in first class only, in three d

LSO's and landing T Sparks

A long winded discussions on the role the LSO plays in landing on the carrier. After 900+ they have saved my bacon more than once. All the best, Tim The Lords of Landing "Right for lineup...don't go low...a little power...." At sea, the last word belongs to... by Peter Garrison The A-6E Intruder bomber thunders past the USS Abraham Lincoln's starboard side and rolls into a nearly vertical left bank. Condensation flickers above its swept wings like white fire; its airspeed bleeds rapidly from 300 knots to 150 under the drag of the five-G turn. In the cockpit, the inflatable G-suit snaps tightly around Lieutenant Brian Kasperbauer's legs. His eyes dart from the dancing blur of black instruments to the horizon beyond. Parallel to the aircraft carrier, Kasperbauer rolls level. Check speed, dirty up with gear and flaps, double-check tailhook down. Twice he lifts himself slightly from his se
