Auburn / DeKalb County Airport

***ALERT***ALERT***ALERT***

This Friday night is movie night at the VAA Hangar!

  

WWII veteran, prisoner of war, accomplished test pilot, pace plane for the Unlimited Reno races, air show pilot - Bob Hoover is considered by many to be one of the founding fathers of modern aerobatics. Jimmy Doolittle called him "...the greatest stick and rudder man who ever lived." Flying the Feathered Edge preserves the stories, the friendships, and the legacy that surrounds this man who quietly touched the trajectory of aviation's many developments - and who, due to his piloting skills, judgment, decency, luck, and just flat out ability to fly, is considered THE BEST.

CAST INCLUDES:
Harrison Ford, Carroll Shelby, Burt Rutan, Sean Tucker, and Eugene Cernan

The Hangar opens at 6:00 p.m.

The movie starts promptly at 7:15 p.m.

The BBQ Grille is available.

The Pool Table is open.

The popcorn will be HOT!

Hope to see you at the hangar FRIDAY NIGHT!

Just For Fun, Manly Skills

How to Make the World’s Best Paper Airplanes

There are many skills fathers should pass on to their children: how to ride a bike, how to skip a stone, and of course, how to make a paper airplane. When it’s time to show your kids how to fold a humble piece of paper into a soaring jet, don’t stumble around and hastily construct one from the poor memory of your youth — one that takes a disappointing nosedive as soon as it leaves your fingertips. Instead, teach them the art of making a plane that can truly go the distance.

Date	Time	Title	Presenter(s)
9/17/14	7 p.m. CDT	How to Fly LSA to All 50 States on a Budget	Michael Combs
When Michael Combs set out to fulfill his quest of flying to all 50 states, he had no money, didn't know how to fly, and had no airplane; his most powerful asset was his ability to dream. Battling poor health and a stream of skeptics, Michael started The Flight for the Human Spirit and has gone on to set six new world records while reaching more than 28 million people around the planet. The presentation is a must-see for family and friends as aviation history continues to unfold.
9/25/14	7 p.m. CDT	Recreational Aerobatics: The Basics  FAA Wings Credit	Gordon Penner
International Aerobatics Club member Gordon Penner discusses how to do safe, gentle aerobatics whether or not your aircraft has an inverted fuel/oil system.  Qualifies for FAA Wings Credit.

10/1/14	8 p.m. CDT	Exhaust Valve Failures FAA AMT & Wings Credit	Mike Busch
Savvy maintenance expert Mike Busch discusses exhaust valve failures.  He explains how and why they fail, the consequences of such failures, how to prevent them, and (perhaps most important) how best to detect incipient valve failures before they happen.  Qualifies for FAA Wings and AMT credit.
10/8/14	7 p.m. CDT	Category and Class: Adding Privileges Under Sport Pilot Rules FAA Wings Credit	Prof. H. Paul Shuch
The light sport rules are not just for sport pilots. Any pilot, regardless of ratings, and with or without a medical certificate, can exercise sport pilot privileges,  including the opportunity to fly different categories and classes of aircraft, without having to go through the usual checkride process. By exploring little-known aspects of the light sport FARs, this webinar will teach you how to expand your flying horizons.
10/15/14	7 p.m. CDT	Prepare for Your Checkride and Pass FAA Wings Credit	Larry Bothe
FAA pilot examiner Larry Bothe provides tips to prepare for your checkride and pass! Take control of the process, learn how to get ready, and keep the examiner happy. Proper administration is as important as knowledge and skill. Larry will discuss common mistakes in both the oral and flying portions and how to avoid them.  Qualifies for FAA Wings Credit.
10/22/14	7 p.m. CDT	Chapter Chat: Fun with Flight Simulators	EAA Chapter Manager
From recreational desktop simulators to Advanced Aircraft Training Devices (AATDs), this webinar looks at the different types of flight simulators available today and how EAA chapters can use them to grow and engage their membership. Topics include general guidelines for flight simulator usage, acquisition and operational costs, flight training and currency requirements, usage in conjunction with chapter youth programs, and more.
10/29/14	7 p.m. CDT	AeroVee Turbo Engine	Jeremy Monnett
Sonex Aircraft CEO and EAA lifetime member Jeremy Monnett presents an update on the newest 100-hp VW engine, the AeroVee Turbo.
