Dear newsgroup reader, Last weekend I visit the Airshow @ Naval Air Station 'De Kooy' in the Netherlands Very nice with the 'Catalina' look @ my website http://www.steehouwer.com

I regret to say Bobby Younkin flying his biplane Samson and Jimmy Franklin in his jet-powered WACO were killed in a mid-air at an airshow at Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan. Here's further...

You still have today (Saturday) and tomorrow to go see the Sussex, New Jersey airshow.. Flew in yesterday for the show and it was great. The volunteers did a great job and were always helpful and friendly. The airshow was pretty much non stop from about 1:00 till 5:00. The new x-team masters of...

Day 43 (Big Box #2) Put the plastic back in the plane. Looks a bit too bright when compared to the hat shelf. The Kiwi job on the headliner made it look MUCH better. Removed the stains, however, the plastic is still a bit whiter. Not too objectionable. The plastic also looks out of place because...

Day 48 (The Seats) Just completed the seats. Not as tough or as time consuming as I thought it would be. Maybe 10 hours total time. As I said in the previous installment, I reused the rear foam. The rear seat backs rolled back on without a hitch. Minimal adjusting to get it to look just right. I...

Day 50 (Carpeting) Once the seats were done and the wall kit was due to arrive soon, I decided to go ahead with the carpeting. The Airtex guys insist the walls are shipped “long”, so I should just butt the carpeting up against the side wall aluminum. The wall kit will then fit on top of that,...

Day 51 (Diversions) As part of the wall panel installation, there were several small subprojects that needed to be done. Some things were necessary to "clean up" previous sloppy or failing installations. Others were needed because the new walls were not made exactly like the old ones. Still...

Day 53 (Final Big Box and End of the Road in Sight!) Well, the final shipment has arrived! Along with it, the bill. Total was $2771 plus another $70 for shipping all 3 boxes. Again I was struck by the dramatic comparison between the new and old wall panels. I cannot believe we tolerated the old...

Looks we going with a complete new Airtex interior for our Warrior. Has anybody here has any expirence with the "Duraplush" fabric? - wear/staining/cleaning etc. Our Cessna had the "Duraweave" and it was very rugged. Also , any thoughts on painting the headliner? We will be using the SEM...

I was watching Discovery Wings when I saw a spot about the CAP celebrating it's anniversary and I saw a scene with an Airvan in CAP colors (lots of bright red and blue). I have seen nothing in the aviation publications about this aircraft. Does anyone here know anything about it beyond what is on...

Has anyone heard what fuel is going to cost at AirVenture this year?

I was wondering if anyone has any experience with the airwolf oil filter system , and your thoughts on the oil filter as opposed to the screen.

OK; I posted a few months ago about how a plane I was interested in was "de-registered" a short time after it was repossessed by the bank. (we've already speculated on whether there was malicious intent or not, so let's not go into HOW it got de-registered.) Anyway, it went out of annual. We could...

From: 8300.10 chg 17 - The Inspectors Handbook "(2) Airworthiness: (3) Since “airworthiness� is not defined in the FA Act of 1958, as amended, or in the regulations, a clear understanding of its meaning is essential in conducting a violation investigation. A review of case law relating to...

What do we think of an Alarus CH2000 as a primary trainer and as a weekend flyer? I've run into a possible opportunity to buy a used CH2000 for possibly well under market value (at auction, so it really depends on where the bidding goes). I also have a couple of guys who might be interested...

Are there any chemists in the crowd? A few years ago Sportys sold an Alcohol test kit that consisted of a reagent that was added to a small sample vial of fuel. If the sample contained alcohol, the sample turned purple. Light purple indicated 1%, dark 5%. Sporty no longer carries the test kit....

Ask Tom Sixkiller (Alexis Park Inn - team leader in charge of sales). "plumbus bobbus" wrote in message news:eNDPb.101262$nt4.300385@attbi_s51... So I have narrowed my search down to hotels in the Iowa City area and have narrowed it down to the following choices: Hotel...

http://AllAircraftLoans.com You can even get free advice on the airplane you're thinking of buying!!!

You do have to give it to Thomas for coming on here and debating this stuff. Of course in some ways he is blind to how he is perceived, as is everyone probably. His response, which is basically, "if you haven't bought from me you have no standing to evaluate me" shows that he does not see the...

Anyone based at BLM (Allaire in New Jersey)? I'm currently at Old Bridge and debating moving. I would like info on FBOs, tiedown prices, restrictions, etc.. Thanks, George Patterson None of us is as dumb as all of us.
