Sun ‘N Fun 2014
By Jim Canniff
Experimental Aircraft Association!
Having worked at Sun n Fun for
twelve years straight as a volunteer with
the General Aviation Parking group I
have seen some highs and lows (like
tornados) during this time. This I think
was one of the better events. The
weather was cooperative with mostly
clear skies, warm temps and NO
tornados, during the event anyway. As
luck would have it there was three
inches of rain in three hours on the
Saturday before the show, but all areas
were dry by the start of the show on
Tuesday, April 1st.
The number of aircraft flying in was
definitely up significantly. How did we

know? It was the first time in at least
five years that the various aircraft
parking and camping areas were putting
planes in “overflow” parking areas. It
was particularly full in Home Built
Camping, Vintage and General Aviation
Camping but all planes were
accommodated.
The Homebuilt contingent made a
good showing. As mentioned HomeBuilt
Camping overflowed into the area next
to it. The area was mostly full at the
times I saw it.

May 10th Chapter Picnic
Moving from June to May, the Chapter picnic will be on
May 10th at the home of Mel and Ann Asberry also known
as Shortstop Airfield.
Lunch will be ready about 11:30, but many will start
arriving at 10:30. The picnic is our largest event and brings
in together the most of our members. There is plenty to see
and talk about every year and I’m sure this one will be no
different.
Please bring a dish to share. Drinks and paper goods are
furnished. More details are given on page 4 or you can call
Ann for more info, 972-784-7544.
May 31st Project Visits at GPM
Continuing our project visits, Those of us that hangar at
Grand Prairie Municipal are opening our hangars for other
Chapter members to visit our projects. There is no set
itinerary, but any given Saturday there is plenty to see.
YOUNG EAGLES
David shared his idea to place labels on the front cover of
the YE logbooks to describe the Chapter’s Scholarship
program. There was further discussion.
OLD BUSINESS
The website and membership database were discussed.
Web assets need to be consolidated due to misleading
Google search results when searching for the Chapter
online.
NEW BUSINESS
There was discussion about how long to keep the Chapter’s
financial records. Brad has digital backups as well as hard
copies.
We will meet at the terminal building at 11 am (there is a
restaurant in there as well). We can then go through the
security gates together.

Presidents Message
From the President’s Desk
By Michael Stephan
This year is marching on and it is May already. The fun is blossoming out all over the
place. With Sun N Fun in the books, Airventure is just around the corner. Already the
Sportair League has had three races already. So much for me participating this year.
Hopefully, I will be able to make at least one race.
Personal progress for me is that I am back working on the RV-9 project. If I can keep
steady at it, I might be close to flying at the end of the year. I really enjoy the time spent
building. I need more of it
For the Chapter, we have a few things this month. The picnic is on May 10th at
Shortstop. I never miss those. The Buono’s are hosting their third Crawfish Boil at
Aerocounty on May 3rd. This will be the last Boil in their old hangar as they should be
moving into their new house at AeroCountry by next year. At the end of the month, We at Grand Prairie are inviting
members over to see the projects and planes there.
Recent news has the CAF moving it headquarters to Dallas Executive Airport. That is very exciting. I look forward to
that. The metroplex is quickly becoming an aviation museum destination.
Weather is good....lets go flying!
May’s Speaker - Gerhard Deffner
Breakfast at Terrell
By Michael Stephan
Gerhard will discuss
the question of inflight emergencies,
and what can be done
about them.
As a
point of departure, he
will take us back to
his days of learning to
fly gliders in
G e r m a n y.
That
country doesn't have
quite as many airports
as the US, so landing
your glider in a
farmer's field is not
uncommon. It does
require much subsequent work, however (dis-assembly,
transporting, and re-assembly), so planning your X/C route
to always have an airport within gliding distance is much to
be preferred. Gerhard will use a more recent example to
illustrate this – flying a high performance (motor-) glider
from Berlin to Iceland and back. Also, there will be
examples of how this can be applied to the kinds of
airplanes more commonly seen around here.
Last moth Terrell hosted its first of possible future
breakfast events for pilots. Hosted by the city, They
requested attendees RSVP, which I did. Unfortunately, the
weather wasn’t very flyable for we VFR pilots. So, I drove
over there to check it out. I thought for sure it was some
kind of sales pitch, due to the amout of effort they made to
host it. But, there was no pitch. It was just a bunch of local
pilots eating a very hearty breakfast talking about airplanes
and flying. They even had a local B-25 to gawk at. there
was a crowd there, so look for another event in the future.
The second topic he will discuss is coping with engine
problems. Again, starting from a context of glider flying,
he will address and illustrate the two most important
aspects, 1) Good management of glide path, and 2)
Selection of a suitable surface to land on. Several realworld examples will be described in detail, and Gerhard
hopes to provide enough material to get everybody drawn
into a discussion of how all of this can best be integrated
into flight training (and hangar flying).

Brad Roberts OneX Project
Driving Directions to Shortstop Airfield
Last month Brad and Deia invited the Chapter over to see
the progress on his OneX project that he has been working
on for less than a year. Surprisingly, he has much of the
project finished. Brad has most of the fuselage finished.
Since the project was to be a simple second airplane for
Brad, the finish should go fairly quick. I would look to see
this airplane flying before the end of the year.

Airfield Information for Shortstop
If you plan to fly in, please be up on your short field
techniques. Unicom is 122.75; runway is 17/35 with left
hand patterns. The field is only 1500 feet. The approaches
are clear, no powerlines or trees with a railroad on the south
end. Observe the railroad east and west to see if a train is
approaching. Do not land until the train has passed the
runway. If landing runway 17, watch for cars on the road.
If you plan on flying, give Mel a call (972) 784-7544, and
get the airfield condition report. Rain has an effect on
parking.
It is also helpful if you have any special
requirements. Plus, we will know how many to expect.

used in maneuvers during the show.
Sun N Fun Continued
There has been an issue raised about the fact that there
can be no people in the Homebuilt display area during the
airshow. There was some discussion of it moving down
near the Homebuilt Camping area. Guess we will see what
happens next year.
Vintage aircraft were also well represented. There were
many unique and historic aircraft. One that caught interest
was a 1927 Fairchild F-71 in Pan Am livery.
There were two airshow acts that used RVs. One was a
single RV-8A flown by Jerry Kerby and the other was a
group of eleven RVs known as Team Aerodynamix. This
group was really impressive to see in the night airshow
with very bright lights and plenty of smoke.
1927 Fairchild F-71
The daily air show was great and included The Blue
Angels on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. They are always a
great show.
They actually arrived on Thursday and went through their
“setting points” process. They do this by overflying the

Another impressive part of the airshow was the daily
heritage flight.
EAA Tri-motor giving rides at Sun N Fun
Warbirds made their largest showing in several years. I
heard there was something like 85 present which is around
double of what was there in previous years.
Heritage Flight
For those who wanted to experience flight there were
various ride hops available. This included the CAF B-17,
EAA Tri-Motor, a New Standard biplane and the choice of
either a Huey or Cobra for the helo enthusiast.
Warbird Area
Many of the GAP volunteers camp out on the field so we
were told NOT to go near the F-22s or FA-18s at night as,
unlike the B-17 or P-51s and other warbirds, the men
guarding those planes had guns that worked. And ya know
the guys in black car (in front of the F-22) really did so we
listened, for once.

it rolling on the taxiway. Moral of this story: If your
airplane is not responding as usual stop and determine why!
The on field emergency aircraft repair reported the only
other issues were some flat tires, dead batteries, a couple
brake repairs on RVs and one bad spark plug. In all of this
everybody walked away, maybe not happy but quite well.
Yes, Sun n Fun has changed over the years. It is now
offering something for everyone from the airshow for the
public to high end aircraft for sale. The homebuilder,
experimenter and restorer are not excluded, there was
plenty there for them.
The cost of operating Sun n Fun has increased
significantly and now includes over $300K for FAA
controllers each year. The only way to bring the revenue
needed is to bring in the public with their gate money with
things like the airshow. This may mean some changes to the
fly-in pilot and aircraft builders but it is not all that much,
just a compromise to keep the show going. In an article in a
local newspaper Sun n Fun president John “Lites”
Leenhouts said it has been a struggle to keep the event
afloat over the past three years. With the Blue Angels and
good weather bringing in the largest crowd in more than 12
years, things have turned around significantly. Let us hope
that this keeps up and Sun n Fun is here to stay. These
venues are not too big to fail, just look at Fantasy of Flight.
The LSA Mall
Could be fun on the lakes, for $93K
This year’s fly-in was a safe event as there was only one
incident causing a brief stop in operations. A Skybolt
biplane tipped up on its nose on landing. It appeared to be
caused by a failure in one of the main gear. Considering
there were over 8,000 flight operations during the event it
was a good year.
One other incident that is noted here only because there is
a lesson to be learned. A Cirrus had a brake fire in both
mains on a taxiway. Damage was limited to the gear and
wheel pant. A passenger in the plane said they had to use
full power to get the plane moving and much power to keep

Mesquite Tower Rollout
Cessna 140 Speed Mod
By Glen Snyder
By David Cheek
Seeing that I’m involved a little in working part time for
Frontier Aviation and RS Racing at Aero Country Airport
rebuilding the Packard and Rolls Royce Merlin V-12
engine, I was interested in finding a set of Rolls Royce/
Continental rocker covers for my Cessna 140, “Wild
Thang”. I had heard of these rocker covers, but don’t
remember ever seeing any.
Back in the mid 1950’s or 60’s, Rolls Royce built under
license, several Continental engines, namely the 90, 0200
and 300 series. The Rolls Royce 0200 engine was used in
the Cessna 150 built in France. These engines are difficult
to find and locating just the rocker covers is near
impossible. They are as rare as hen’s teeth.
After a five year search, I located a set, paid the price and
came home with them. Since the bank was now broke, I
decided to paint them silver instead of getting them chrome
plated.
My dear wife Sandy, upon hearing this said, “don’t get
cheap on me now, get them chromed”. I located a chrome
plating shop in the Mesquite/Balch Springs area and got out
the check book again. I always do what my wife tells me to
do!
The chrome Rolls rocker covers are on now and really
dress up the ol girl. And believe it or not, “Wild Thang” is
now 10 MPH faster.
When the new control tower
opened in Mesquite this year, I
hoped the FAA had figured out
how to do it right.
The tower
opened up early this year with
unofficial operations and training.
T h e n e w C o m m o n Tr a f f i c
Advisory Frequency (CTAF) was
changed from 123.05 to 120.3, to
be the new tower frequency at the
same time. Notams were issued
for both the new CTAF and the
Class D airspace, which seemed to
be implemented before the tower
was certified “Official”, even if only by a few days.
So naturally I was surprised when the tower frequency
did not show up on the new DFW sectional or Terminal
chart OR my current Jeppesen NAV database for the
Garmin 430. Since the chart will be good for almost six
months, this might set a record as the longest publication of
significantly inaccurate data in my memory.
Since I get my briefings from Flight Service, over the
phone, they always kept me informed about these changes.
I was never surprised. If you listened to AWOS before
arriving, there were announcements on that which told you
about the new changes.
The announcement for the new CTAF and the class D
airspace was made through NOTAMS. Eventually, the
April release of the Facilities directory (56 day cycle) and
the fourth cycle of Jeppsen Navdata (28 day cycle) for my
Garmin 430, caught up with the notams. Everything was
finally correct except for the sectional, which is still on its’
six months cycle.
I had always hoped that the IFR
database I pay so much for would always be correct, since
Jeppesen has made so much effort to get things correct in
the past. Since they are now owned by Boeing, I have
hoped that they would not be losing their focus on smaller
aircraft and airports, in favor of their larger airline and
charter customers. I guess I was wrong.
In the end common sense prevails. Just get a good preflight briefing, which includes Notices to Airmen
(NOTAMS) and listen to the AWOS while there is still time
to contact the tower. Notice that announcements on AWOS
will not be included in XM weather distribution, so be sure
and listen on the AWOS frequency. I should also say that
this is the first time that “AirNAV” was more correct than
either my Jepp database or the tail end of the facilities
directory cycle. They must have benefited from the early
electronic release of data, before the paper books could be
printed and distributed. On the other hand, if you did not
brief for the airport and you rely solely on sectional charts,
you will probably get burned once if a while.

Commemorative Air Force Moving its Headquarters To Dallas Executive Airport
By Michael Stephan
Photos by Scott Slocum
With much fanfare, the Commemorative Air
Force announced that it has decided on a new
headquarters after a year long search. That
new home is Dallas Executive Airport. They
will build a new museum complex on the
Airport grounds. As you can see from the
concept drawing, it is a huge facility. The
annual Airsho is also coming to Dallas.
This is real exciting for us aviators here in the
metroplex.
The addition of the CAF will bring attention
to an airport that could use some. I’m not sure
were they will place the museum, but I think it
will be at the south east corner.
Along with the new headquarters
building, Dallas Exec is redoing the two
runways to accommodate heavier aircraft.
Also, runway 13-31 is getting a bit of an extension.
The Metroplex is becoming an aviation museum
destination. We are privileged to have some great museums
and some of the most rare aircraft. The museums include
Cavenaugh, Frontiers of Flight, American Airlines
Museum, and the Vintage Flying Museum, not to mention
May 2014
all the several CAF squadrons one being the B-24 and B-29
squadron.
A few initial staff will arrive in 2014. By the end of 2015,
the Headquarters will be fully operational.
This is exciting, and we welcome the CAF to Dallas!
